Did someone order a classic white-and-red sari for ‘Bijoya’?

End the festive season with this ‘shabeki’ sari

It might be the last day of Durga Puja but the festivities are far from over. Soon, there will be post-Dashami get-togethers and almost every para will have a Bijoya Sammelani. My Haute Couture has the perfect handwoven cotton sari for you to wear to these events. The white sari with a golden and red border is a minimalist beauty. Go full traditional with a big bun wrapped in gajra, gold ornaments and a pretty little red bindi or take it a step further with an aathpoure drape and a puff-sleeved shabeki blouse. Or go the hip fusion route with an experimental drape, maybe a white shirt and chunky belt to pair it with? Isn’t this what a goddess looks like?
