For 2011 New Year's Eve, my sister and I were invited to attend the "Eastern Fairytales" costume party.
We decided to go for the Indian Saris. We purchased some lovely fabrics, one in pink and white, another in turquoise color, of 5.5 meters each, but I had to narrow the width of each piece down to 1 yard only.
It took me some time to embroider the edges of each sari and our blouses with some lovely ribbons, beads and sequins.
My lovely colleague Geetha gave me a few free lessons on how to wear a sari - thanks to her!
Learning Bollywood dance routine for two was not that easy - but we did it, thank G-d for YouTube!
Some instant tan application a couple of hours prior to the party, black wigs, power eye makeup and lots of costume jewelery completed our look.
At the party, everyone complemented on our matching outfits and (almost) synchronous dancing - not to mention our matching nail polish!
