CONCEPT NOTES DTD. 05/02/2013 The seed of how and why to make this a business Social upliftment is integrally in the hands of women. A happy and joyous woman will spread comfort and joy in the house and be warm and understanding in bringing up the children. This onus lies with women to make a house a home and provide a grihastha a grishasthashramam. A haven where people who come and go can live and feel peace and contentment within the matrix of social structure. Among the multiple issues that Indian women face some of the most obvious and unconscious issues are faced by the lower middle income and lower income groups. Unable to understand their needs and address them, unable to ask for support and help, they are struck by social lifestyle and demands to have a position in the social structure.This makes them push their spouses to earn more, push their children to perform better but they increasingly feel incapable of reaching their desires.

Find your size
How to order for your ready made blouse? We have made basic blouses in a few designs to kick start the ready made blouse orders. Get into a well fitted bra. Note the size listed on the label. This has 2 components- say, 38B. 38 is the chest size and B is the cup size. To cross check the label measurement in your bra, you may want to measure yourself too Look up the Umbara blouse measurement chart, match the blouse size that is closest to the chest measure. The blouses chart is made for B cups. However, cross sizing works here just as it does for bras. So, if you are a 38B, you could also pick a ready made blouse which is a 36C or a 40 A which can be worn after minor sewing adjustments.

UMBARA DESIGNS Our Take on Customised Clothing What is good clothing? The basic principles have always been fibre, weave, fabric, texture, colour, silhouette, design, technique of cutting and method of sewing. When we say that a person looks ‘eye catching’ or is a ‘head turner’, essentially what we are admiring is the outcome of all these aspects that have come together harmoniously. What is the function of clothing? The integral function of clothing in modern times seems to be associated with 'presence'; making an impression, leaving the viewer with an image that influences all future interactions. While this is certainly important, merely aping fashion trends and movie stars in order to meet the objectives of creating a good ‘first impression’ leaves us unsatisfied. Why is that? Out belief, is that, at a physical level, clothing should be a ‘second skin’ that permits the body to function in an unrestricted way. Also, going beyond this, it should allow se...
