Half-Saree Saree


Half saree, or pavadai davani, is an outfit that was very popular in the south before the salwar kameez took over among young girls. It was actually a stage in between skirt and saree. A teenager who is at a stage where she is not ready for a saree but does not care to wear pavadai and choli usually dons a half saree. As the name says, it is litereally 3 yards, exactly half of the 6 yards, which is length of the usual saree. Of course it has to be combined with a pavadai and a blouse, or a choli.

If a lady has not worn this in her teen years or if she wants to live her young years by imitating similar outfit, there is something that is very trendy now. It is called the half saree sari It comes in 6 yards with 2 contrast colors or 2 contrast designs. So when you wrap it like a saree, it gives a look of a pavadi davani. Except for the pleats, the other parts have the same design. The pallu and the part we wrap around is of same design. This pattern has been implemented in every type of saree- and sarees ranging in various prices.

As even better news, this saree has arrived at RU Creations!

Kalamkari work sarees!!


Kalamkari work is an ancient art from Andra Pradesh.  Kalamkari which literally translates into work with pen,  is an art work on fabric using vegetable dyes.  Pen meaning a pierced bamboo  is used to draw this art on the cotton fabric.  It usually depicts Hindu mythology and temple architecture.

This type of work looks very grand on the saree.  

RU Creations have received a shipment for Deepavali and  3 kalamkari work sarees have arrived.

Printed Raw Silk sarees


Raw silk is a fabric made of silk fibers that have not undergone the removal of the sericin coating.  Sericin also called silk-gelatin is boiled out of silk thread prior to be woven in to fine silk.  This is the basic difference between the raw silk and fine silk.   

Such raw silk is used to make all kinds of outfits.  Material as such is sold to make salwars and chudithars and other dresses.  They are also used in making draperies and sheets.  

Raw silk sarees are available.  They come as plain 6yds material in which case you may buy the 6yds and get any kind of work done on it.  It also comes in with borders and prints.  
Couple of such sarees have just been shipped to RU Creations.  Raw silk with print on them and beautiful pallu.  Of course matching blouse like any other saree is attached to the saree.
