Vaddanam Skirt Size:2 Hung on slender silk dorisA columnar Mashru skirt inspired by a Kaasulu Vaddanam ( a South Indian waist ornament, usually depicting the Goddess Lakshmi) is hand embroidered with gold plated metal rings at the hips. The Vaddanam medallions here subvert the traditional ornament by replacing the image of the Goddess with that of women engaged in the beautifully mundane parts of their lives. Available in a modest version. Fabricated in a silk and cotton Mashru.
