Bollywood & Choli



I saw this tailor that specializes in Choli at Kuala Lumpur's Lebuh Ampang.

According to Wikipedia, Choli is is a midriff-baring blouse worn in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and other countries where the sari is worn. The choli is cut to fit tightly to the body and has short sleeves with a low neck. The choli is usually cropped, allowing exposure of the navel; the cropped design is particularly well-suited for wear in the sultry South Asian summers. Cut-out backs and front-opening buttons are some of the features of contemporary designs.

In this photo, there are some backless Cholis, considered more contemporary design, which are inspired by Bollywood celebrities in Indian movies. According to Wikipedia, backless cholis have become a fashion in India after the movie Hum Aapke Hain Koun...!, in which the famous Hindi movie actress, Madhuri Dixit wears one.

"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith
