I think it's been almost a year since Arati (Saras) came to live with me, ad it wasn't that long after that I bought some Batik fabrics to make her some simple Saris for her. I finally got around to making her something to wear this past weekend. I know it's not a real sari, but we do what we can. I really enjoyed making this because I got to try new things with my serger. I learned a rolled hem, and how using different colored threads to create an interesting look around the trim. Then I just sewed some fancy ribbon on, but that's pretty standard. Next I need to make her a better choli, and eventually a salwar kameez set (I did a little research for this girl).
Here's Arati enjoying her new clothes.

Arati has a past connection to one of my other girls. They both posed under the same tree, and I think they're my only girls to have had their picture taken there.

Ohh, so pretty, Byronic! You know, I almost got that same wig for my Saras. It looks fantastic on her, and I love the contrast with the orange saari! Really beautifully done styling!

She's so pretty! I love Indian fashion, so colorful it makes me happy to look at. The pattern is beautiful and the color looks great on her with her blue hair.

Thanks you guys I really wanted a nice contrasting color and I'm happy that it worked.
@ vadafade Your Saras is so cute, and I just love the way her hair brings her to life. This wig came out of a blind box. It just looked so nice on her. I almost went with an auburn one, but I really wanted her to have long hair.

Wow -- you got that wig out of a blind box?! That's amazing. It looks like the "antique green" color from For My Doll. I've *almost* bought that color wig for Saras so many times. What brand wig is Arati wearing?

I love the sari--the bright color goes great with her own vivid coloring.

Thanks everyone I really love making my girls different from each other, and I really love when my girls get compliments.
@vadafade- It's a LeekeWorld wig. I believe the color was Blue Green.

That sari is AMAZING! You have such patience and talent, I think she even looks a little happier wearing it!
