Kamarband : The Sari Belt

The 'kamarband' or the 'sari belt' is an intricate ornamental piece worn around the waist to accentuate a womans' waistline.  Typically worn by brides - we've seen the kamarband evolve into the more sexy sari belt (thank you Shilpa Shetty !).  The film and fashion fraternity are all about this slinky accessory ! 

These days, it's not just brides' wearing the kamarband but the new-age fashionistas wear this traditional accessory on everything from ethnic tops paired with pencil-fit jeans to cocktail dresses. 

Sabyasachi used mirrors to create a belt-like kamarband and showcased them in his 2013 collection.  

Ritu Kumar used a brocade band which matches to the border of the lehenga and gives a very urban look.

Tarun Tahiliani used a sexy black beaded kamarband that has a big center bead, making it very retro, along with the flower broach.

Ridhi Mehra used a fully golden finish kamarband. The intricate vines in the design gives the model the look of a Greek Goddess.

Shakira wearing an exquisite kamarband at one of her concerts and looking absolutely sexy.

Do you own a kamarband ? How do you like to wear your kamarband ? Did you have a kamarband for your wedding outfit ?
