Hello All ! This post gives me immense pleasure because I have started on the route to ticking one of my "TO DO" things that is in my first post on this blog
So this is a Sikkimese Dress , recently me and Ashok had gone to Gangtok for a vacation. I saw the ladies there wearing this robe and at once decided that I atleast needed to get clicked wearing one of these things.
The dress consists of a silky long sleeved jacket , a gown with ties on both sides to fit it snuggly around the body and If you are married (Like me!) you also have to wear the striped apron in front as a mark of having been taken , something like the mangalsutra that we have in north india.
The accessories consisted of a fan ( which I though was more of an influence of china than of belonging to traditional Sikkim!) and a topi (head gear , to help keep away from cold!)
Among other states I think I can post pictures of a Saree , a Patiala Salwar suit and a Nawaari Saree which is from Maharashtra! I can see my dream of owning and wearing all dresses from different parts of the country taking shape. Watch this space for more.
Fantastic !!!!
