Odissi Dance Costumes & Traditional Jewellery by Shanthi Tailors
The Odissi dance form, known for its lyrical grace and sculptural poses, is beautifully complemented by its distinctive costume. At Shanthi Tailors, with our legacy spanning over five decades in classical dance costume crafting since 1967, we understand the profound connection between a dancer's attire and their art.
An authentic Odissi costume typically features vibrant silk, often with intricate 'kasta' draping that accentuates the dancer's movements. Key elements include the 'kuchha' (pleated fan), the 'dhoti' or 'patta' (lower garment), and an upper blouse, all tailored to allow fluidity and expression. We bring our meticulous craftsmanship and understanding of traditional aesthetics to every custom-stitched outfit.
Custom Odissi Costumes & Traditional Jewellery
While renowned for our Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, and Mohiniyattam costumes, our expertise in traditional Indian classical dance attire extends to creating bespoke Odissi costumes. We focus on precise custom measurements, selecting quality fabrics, and ensuring the traditional drape and fit that are crucial for Odissi performances.
- Custom-stitched costumes based on individual measurements.
- Careful selection of traditional silks and embellishments.
