Blouses in this wedding season are the most trending asset for the ethnic outfits. Every designer has come up with the most wonderful designs and the trendiest designs are here for the wedding season. The cold shoulder is my personal favorite as it gives a unique look to the saari. More importantly, it also provides a fusion touch to the ethnic look. Since ethenics have not experimented much earlier. I believe now is the time we should explore our creativity and choose the best designs for ourselves. The cape style blouse also has the capacity to change the entire saari look. That is also very different as it can change the Saari look into a lehenga look. The most loved style of the cape has come into blouses now. What can be better than combining a western and Indian look together? This fusion can also work perfectly for this wedding season.
