Default India Inspired Gyspy Costumes

Hi!

Here's some of my students showing off the costumes I designed and made in Pune, India. I'm in the green one. The skirts are 13 metres of silk and sequin sarees. I'm hoping to create lots more when I go back to India in the fall. I didn't know I'd have so much "fun" making them. Meaning sucking back exhaust in a rickshaw, travelling to markets and stepping in camel poo!

I'd love some feedback. What do you think of the costumes?
Tara

Hi Gia,

I'm the vendor. I lived in India for the past 3 years as a performer and made/designed/had them sewn 2 months ago. I only have these ones right now, but I plan to make several more when I go back to India in the fall.

Thank you! Please post when you have these available for sale...I am certain that I am not the ONLY one who'd love to add these to their wardrobe!!!
