A blouse is an essential part of what makes the saree the most versatile garment ever made. But it’s also the reason why a lot of women don’t wear the saree to work! The traditional blouse might feel uncomfortable to some, and also a bit restricting in terms of the silhouette. But fashion never follows the rules, and so you shouldn’t either!
