Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of silk is traditionally used for the Odissi saree costume, and how does the silk's texture impact the dancer's movements?
A: Traditionally, the Odissi saree costume is crafted from high-quality silk, often Katan or Tussar silk. The silk's texture, with its crispness and slight stiffness, is essential for holding the pleats and fan of the saree in Aramandi posture, enhancing the visual impact of the dancer's tribhangi poses and chauk.
Q: How should I care for my traditional silk Odissi dance costume to ensure its longevity, especially considering the heavy embellishments and zari work?
A: Given the delicate nature of silk and the intricate zari work, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. Store the costume in a breathable cotton bag, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to prevent discoloration and zari damage. Avoid folding heavily embellished areas to maintain the integrity of the design. Occasional airing in a shaded area will help prevent mildew.
Q: Can 'Shanthi Tailors' customize the Odissi saree costume with specific motifs or color combinations to align with a particular dance school's tradition or a dancer's Arangetram theme?
A: Yes, 'Shanthi Tailors' specializes in customization. We can incorporate specific traditional Odissi motifs, such as the 'Rudraksha' or 'Konark Chakra', or tailor the color palette to reflect your dance school's unique aesthetic or complement the theme of an Arangetram performance. Please provide detailed specifications during your consultation.
Q: What are the standard measurements required to ensure a perfectly fitted Odissi saree costume, particularly concerning the blouse and saree length for comfortable and unrestricted movement during complex choreographies?
A: We require precise measurements, including bust, waist, shoulder width, blouse length, and overall saree length, taking into account the dancer's height and preferred style of draping. It's crucial to specify the desired length for comfortable Aramandi and unrestricted leg movements during Chauka and other intricate Odissi steps. Our expert tailors will ensure the costume allows for a full range of motion while maintaining the traditional silhouette.
