Florals

Florals on the pavada are a retro trend just like the pavada itself. I'm pretty sure these are Anushree lehengas; very pretty!

Another post, after a long absence - green/yellow legenga

What do I say about this thavani? A net thavani draped over a green lehenga/pavada paired wiht a yellow blouse. Gorgeous!

Ramp walk thavani

A recent half sari on the ramp and I'm loving the earthiness. 

(P.S Stole the pic of Sareetimes.com, I hope they don't mind)

A different material for Thavani. Pleats don't seem to stay on this material, could have its problems there, but otherwise looks good.

Deepika at the Film Fare Awards 2012 - I've seen this variously being descibed as a saree...This has got to be a thavani, or as they say in north india - a lehenga. It sure is hot whatever it may be  - pure Sabsayachi style (but I'll vouch it's a half saree from this photo - and hence gaining a place on this blog about halfsarees).

Usability

Nothing fascinating about these half sarees. But I uploaded them to indicate the effect of bringing the fall foward and tuckign it in at ur hips. Advantage, you can actually do more things, without it getting in the way.
My comment re the pavadai, is that if your going to go fake, so with it in pride, and don't tell us its not ur pure silk. This pavadai just has all the tell tale signs that it isn't real.

Beautiful Half Saree/ Beautiful Photo

Incredible Photo or should I say Incredible Half Saree.
Why?
Is it the contrasting blue blouse, yellowish thavani or the patterned red pavadai? (hehe did u notice how the pavadai takes after the chair? and merges with the backround, Excellent Photography!)
Is it the unique border on the thavani, or the bright golden prints?
Or is it the beautiful smile of the girl or the colours in her hand that smell mischief?
What ever it is , I'm loving the effect and I'm sure you are too.

Being different with the Thavani

This is what you call being real different and unique with your thavanai. Very stylish, and outside the box of usual thavani's. Loving the triangurlar cut, the green border, and the printed thavani, perfectl matched with a plain pavadai.

This is half sari that looks great from afar. Unfortunately, up close, the thavani will not get pass marks. Whilst, the choice of colour for the thavani is great, picking up the yellow shade of the paavadai, the choice to add the border to the thavani is very unco. It does not pick up any colour in the paavadai and is very uncoordinated.
