I wanted to make sure that I included lots of photos of the dress “at rest” in this blog post [ @meganmakes.com ]

So often when a dress is super voluminous, it’s tempting to only include fun photos of the dress held to its full width or little videos of the dress swirling in a beautiful blur. I love those photos and videos! But sometimes it’s hard to find as many photos with the dress hanging as it would be more likely to in day-to-day wear. So those photos are above and below. And I really love how this dress looks both ways, both in motion and “at rest”! This dress is sewn in a cotton poplin that I got from Patch, which I was honestly not sure about. It felt like it could potentially be too structured. I think in future I want to try a midweight linen for a more rumpled look, but I am super pleased with how this one turned out. I think the poplin really helps the dress to keep a good amount of volume even when it’s not being swirled, and I imagine it will relax a bit more after multiple washes. It’s already surprisingly soft, counter to what you might think based on its appearance! I made a size 14 based on my full bust measurement (40″), even though I was temped to size down based on the volume. I’m glad I didn’t size down because my bigger shoulders from swimming and climbing are often the obstacle in fitting into a single size column, and this is not fitted anywhere except the shoulders! The awesome thing about Veronica Tucker is that even though her patterns only go up to a size 22 (48″ bust, 40″ waist, 51.5″ hips), if you don’t fit into her size range she will draft a size specifically for you at no additional cost if you provide your measurements!

Through fashion I have learned how to make myself feel more self-assured and outgoing

Keywords: my thought catalog , blog , bloggers , bloggerstyle , blogging

When I was younger, I would often cry in the dressing room while shopping. It’s still challenging choosing outfits for my body type. However, I no longer try to disappear under layers of baggy clothes. I have learned to accentuate the details about myself that I feel confident about to balance out the details that make me feel insecure.

The most common style is for the saree to be wrapped around the waist, with the loose end of the drape to be worn over the shoulder, baring the midriff

The word ‘sari’ evolved from saatikaa, mentioned in earliest Hindu literature as women’s attire. The sari or sattika evolved from a three piece esemble comprising the ‘Antriya’, the lower garment, the ‘uttariya’, a veil worn over the shoulder or the head and the stanapatta, a chest band.This ensemble was mentioned in Sanskrit literature and Buddhist Pali literature during the 6th century BCE.This complete three-piece dress was known as Poshak, generic term for costume. Ancient Antriya closely resembled dhoti wrap in the “fishtail” version, which was passed through legs, covered the legs loosely and then flowed into a long, decorative pleats at the front of the legs. It further evolved into Bhairnivasani skirt, today known as ghagri and lehenga.Uttariya was a shawl-like veil worn over the shoulder or head; it evolved into what is known today as dupatta and ghoonghat. Likewise, Stanapatta evolved into choli by 1st century CE.

True to the “house dress” title I’ve bestowed this piece with, I’ve been wearing it a ton at home (in the more comfortable proper way)

Keywords: {0}

I brought it on a trip to China a few years ago and it was a great travel piece that I got ample use out of, from hiking mountains in insane humidity to having tea with family at home. However, a nagging issue was that the neckline was too low for my preference, which led me to be hyper self-conscious while wearing it. That was, until I came to the simple realization that I could just wear it backwards. And suddenly, I enjoyed the dress a whole lot more. I think it looks a bit more put-together when worn backwards with the high neckline. If I steamed it, put on heels, and threw my hair up, I could even make it fancy, with hardly any effort.
