Just a couple of years ago butterfly pallus were all the rage right after they were introduced a few years back. Trends come and go and the butterfly sari was replaced by the lengha sari not too long ago. Now, personally, I think it would be nice to combine the two. Although a completely new creation, it’s very trendy and flattering. Not long after we said goodbye to butterfly pallu saris, it seems they’ve come back. Though some styles I’ve seen being called butterfly are really just saris with “shorter” pallus, meaning they’re not so wide. Let’s determine if the “original” butterfly pallu has returned or not.

The new butterfly pallu is a slight variation from its previous counterpart.

Is it worth giving the butterfly sari another try? All these lovely saris featured are from RAIR.

The time has come to say goodbye to the butterfly pallu sari. Anyone who watches Saat Phere knows that Tara, Saloni’s sister-in-law, was always famous for her butterfly pallu saris and especially the way she draped the pallu towards the front. She practically made it famous. I was wrong to not buy one two years ago when the local sari shop owner insisted I do so! Instead, I settled for a much more classic design in eggplant with kundan work. A true classic, this style would never go out. It was supposed to last me ages. Anyone who is familiar with Indian television, however, knows its influence on the mind. Therefore, I sought to get one myself! To my dismay, this overly trendy sari was no longer in style. Will they ever come back? Who knows! Instead, I was introduced to the lengha sari. It is worn just like a sari but does not require any pleating. Perfect for those who want the look of a sari and easiness of a lengha. This two in one deal is sure to last at least a couple of years so if you follow trends then it’s really the way to go!
