Paattu Pavadas – Children’s Special!
- by Abirami R
Girls – infants, toddlers, kids or teenagers – look really lovely in pavadas. Pavadas, known by different names in different parts of India, are always the first choice of outfit for the girls in the family when the occasion is special. Religious, social, milestone events – pavadas add a touch of gravitas to the occasion and a look of ethnic grace to the wearer.
Pavadas come in three sizes – for age 0 to 2, 3 to 5, and 6 to 10. Then there are the full, adult sizes that mostly come with matching davanis or half sarees.
For each size, the loom and the weaving have to be specific. Cutting to the required size from larger fabric does not have the same finish or impact.
Pavadas in pure silk are attractive and appealing. All pavadas come with matching blouses too. Contrast colour combinations, self zari, with woven buttis – the variety and range available are incredible.
One also has the choice of either getting the ready-to-wear pavada-blouse sets or getting the unstitched ones and tailoring it to measurement.
Find the pavada that you need for your little ones at Prashanti Sarees. You will have difficulty choosing just one. All pavadas are available in-store or online.
