More About Our Charming Chartreuse Sariloons
Our sariloons (aka vintage sari pantaloons, salawar or harem pants) are made of the most decadent and luscious upcycled fabrics available. A fabulous pant choice for all dance genres and all genders.. for stage work, street wear and everything in between!
Fabric & Construction:
Our premium vintage sari fabric content is typically about 70% silk, 30% viscose. These upcycled fabrics are cleaned, pressed and custom tailored into our fabulous one of a kind pants. We’ve added a new soft lining to the inside of the waistband for maximum comfort. Sturdy new elastic with drawstring ties at the waistband and ankles.
Size:
The full nature of the pants, along with the elastic and drawstring at the waist and ankles adjusts to fit a variety of sizes.
- Drawstring allows waist area to cinch down to about about 20″ and elastic can give to about 48″.
- Fullness of pants allows for hips up to about 58″.
- Length is approximate 42″ long from top of waistband to bottom of the ankle casing. Note: the pants are meant to billow on the top of the foot. Check out Jennifer’s article with 3 quick shortening tips, if needed.
Care:
Hand wash separately.
How To Wear Them
1. An essential clothing piece in many cultures, our Sariloons in the ATS/FCBDstyle® dance form are traditionally layered under one or two Skirts. They present a stunning color accent during turns when the skirts float up.
2. With such lovely detailing & colors, you’ll also love them worn without overskirts. Try the pants layered with hip scarves and belts. Add a coin bra, a choli top or any of our corseted bodice tops for a more classic vintage or modern fusion belly dance look.
3. These billowing pants are statement pieces when added to your regular ‘street wear’ wardrobe. Dress them down with a t-shirt and sandals or under a summer dress in warmer months. In cold weather they easily can be worn over thermal pants and with bulky sweaters for stylish winter look.
What Is Eco-Chic?
Eco-chic is what we like to call garments that are made with a focus on being environmentally mindful, low waste and 100% stylish. Our sariloons are upcycled, meaning the fabric has been repurposed from already existing garments and textiles.
How does this work?
We start with a premium vintage fabric that is no longer being used as a traditional sari/saree. This is then cleaned, pressed and custom tailored into our fabulous one of a kind pants. Only the elastic and lining on the inside of the waistband are newly produced.
This type of fabric reuse is one of the best things we can do for the environment. It helps unused garments find a new purpose and reduces the amount of textiles that end up in landfills. A win for you and a win for the planet!
Good For You And The Environment
A great way to show your commitment to the environment while getting to own a fabulous one-of-a-kind work of art.
And a work of art that you can wear is pretty fabulous!
This calibre of high quality vintage fabric is becoming rare and hard to find. Don’t wait if you see one you love. We are never sure exactly what colors and styles we’ll be able to get in future batches.
