Silk Scarves
Scarves in India have a significant place and traditional value. They have a significant place because they are a protector of women's integrity. All womens outfits in India are considered incomplete without a long scarf. They can be hand-woven, hand printed, painted, machine woven, or machine printed. Embroidered dupattas are also very popular in some states of India. Scarves can be made of cotton, chiffon, georgette, silk, net or sometimes a mixture as well. These are an intrical part of the salwar kurta, lehenga, and churidar. With cultural exposure from Europe, these scarves found their way to western wardrobes also. However, with western dresses, the length of these are reduced and they are generally square. These scarves, designed for western outfits, are generally chiffon or georgette and they are printed or painted. Very light in weight, they have a very decent look. |
