#MaharaniIndiraDevi, mother of Gayatri Devi, not only passed her charm and poise to her daughter, one of the world’s most beautiful women but even passed down her fashion sense. Gayatri who was the epitome of beauty and style then passed down her mother’s fashion sense to the entire nation and world over. The trousseau, which was draped with poise by the royal ladies, was mostly French chiffon. However, it was not the fabric but the signature formula which Indira Devi had introduced was the secret sauce to looking sensual. Indira Devi had first worn chiffon in Paris. It was the material which won her heart. While it came with the width of 34 inches, it was the Maharani who insisted to make it to 46 inches and thus, chiffon saree was introduced. #ChiffonSaree, which is an integral part of saree fabrics, is today worn with distinct style across the globe.
