Ready Made Blouses is an untapped market and an emerging category Women are switching from tailoring their blouses to ready made blouses due to unavailability of good tailoring services, inconvenience, poor experience and high cost The blouse is taking centre stage in creating the “look” Ethnic wear is a large market of over 1 lac crores of rupees and saris is 75% of that
It is a versatile product. Besides saris, it is being worn with palazzos, skirts and denims as a cropped top
