Chennai women are fashion conscious all the time keeping pace with the fast changing trends , mostly having leading film stars as their role models. It matters little to emulate them in respects other than sartorial. The HALF SARI WORN BY Deepika Pudokone continues to reign supreme among the young, (also some old as well) and designer blouses, ready made or made to order are still patronized by those who can stretch their budget to no end especially when it comes to the second. On a personal note I would like to add when I wished to have some embellishments on one of my blouses, the lady who has a high profile clientele took the order and when she handed it back to me, all that was added to my blouse were a row of plastic pieces stuck on it which started peeling off almost immediately, needless to say the amount charged was exorbitant. After the experience I realized I had learnt literally a costly lesson!
Coming to the point of changing fashions, we see popular actors sporting blouses with three quarters sleeves or even longer but I am yet to see a fashion conscious woman irrespective of her age emulating them, probably the weather in Chennai doesn’t permit them to do so!
