Vaddanam Skirt Size:2 Custom glass beads strung on

Custom glass beads strung on a Dori form two accessories

Mashru is draped to form a cowl at the front

the Bandhgala is a play on what it means to be feminine or masculine and where those lines lie

The garment transforms while the wearer walks

emerge from the front panels with each stride

Vaddanam Skirt Size:2 Custom glass beads strung onA columnar Mashru skirt inspired by a Kaasulu Vaddanam ( a South Indian waist ornament, usually depicting the Goddess Lakshmi) is hand embroidered with gold plated metal rings at the hips. The Vaddanam medallions here subvert the traditional ornament by replacing the image of the Goddess with that of women engaged in the beautifully mundane parts of their lives. Available in a modest version. Fabricated in a silk and cotton Mashru.
