Thats a brilliant idea to give them away to an organisation..hadn't thought that there would be the need. I will ask around. Some of the colours are not appropriate for me and are definitely better suited for different colouring from me. </p> <p>will get some photos of those that I get altered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altering-saris-and-sawar-kameez#post-340628 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 05:43:46 +0000 catgirl 340628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep. Take them to a tailor and you can get them made into a tunic length top that will be awesome over skinnies for sure. </p> <p>Depending where you live there are organizations that take Indian clothes for abused women who have had to flee their home (in NY it's Sakhi <a href="http://www.sakhi.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sakhi.org/</a>). </p> <p>Would love to see a photo or two! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altering-saris-and-sawar-kameez#post-340623 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 05:35:49 +0000 Sally 340623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been dragging stuff out of my mother's place and found a suitcase full of saris and sawar kameez tops and bottoms. I dont think I will wear the saris (the only time I have I have found uncomfortable) but I am going to keep one just in case. However I am wondering what to do with the others. Has anyone designed a dress to use the material for etc? Also the sawar kameez bottoms are so pajama like I think I am going to give away and maybe shorten the tops so I can wear with jeans. Has anyone had any experience with this? </p>
