Saree doesn't discriminate- well said👏👏
But Feminism discriminates against men.
Not actually..... Feminism is all about equality. It says, women= men; not women> men. The ones who use this ideology for any discrimination they are called Feminazis, not Feminists. Please don't get confused between these two words-- there is a differance between a struggle to get recognition and to oppress others rights.
Hmmm aren't some drapes more 'classy' than others? Will you see yourself in a fisherman's drape unless it's to a fancy dress party?
As a child I would drape my mom's dupatta as a saree!!
😁
Haha me too
Saree is so great that even Ayushmann looks grt in it....btw hey underrated...love ur videos
Well, looks like that share button is gonna get bothered a LOT!
A person with a right mind would never dare to support Leftist advocacies like Communism, socialism or Feminism per say. We should know how dangerous these idiologies are and how it affected the countries it affected when they were bought into practice...
@@redpilledmgtow9421 Why come to such a channel then?
Go feed your Right Wing garbage to some other hate channel. Leave this lady alone.
It certainly should, right?
I'm a millennial but will never stop wearing saree it has such an authentic and royal feel to it..
Saree is here to stay 💕
Vitamin stree .. this is my first comment to ur channel and I want to tell u ppl that this is just mind blowing😘😍😄 ..keep up ur great work guys ..❤ from tamil nadu
Thank you, means a lot! First of many comments we hope :)
I've always loved sarees since I was a child. I always used to notice how my grandma & my mom draped their sarees, and I used to pester them to get me sarees even though I was a kid! And now, I wear a saree whenever I can, it's my favourite! Especially cotton mul sarees since they are so so comfy! I totally love our traditional cultural heritage! So beautiful ❤️ I don't think "The Saree" can ever go out of style! However it's styled 😍
Women today sometimes say that saree is uncomfortable..But I have experienced that if one wears a saree made of good cotton or linen fabric it's actually extremely comfortable for indian climate.
As ample amount of your body is uncovered it's easy, breezy.. handloom sarees are the best and they drape really well and smooth on skin.
@@redpilledmgtow9421 feminism is dangerous? Wtf is wrong with you
@@yuthika2965 Just report this garbage dump called Red Pill Philosophy.
Sarees are cool!
Exactly..
@@redpilledmgtow9421 Feminism is dangerous? Did u just took marijuana?
It's very true that sarees don't discriminate as it's just a single piece of cloth which can be worn by anyone....though I have just tried it once or twice in my life but love the sarees.....@vitaminstree you guys are doing really a great job....and again the content was really nice....all the best ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
My favourite outfit
Saree makes Indian girls look really pretty
My love for saree will never change
The Saree is a the Indian Kimono.. fabulous history and incredible colors… I miss getting to see them regularly..
Though a teenager.....I love wearing saree....I usually prefer saree over any other outfit and I feel it is much comfortable than others.....also loved this video
I am 24 and am not into sarees. But the description in this video about Saree sent me stimulations to be a Saree chic. Vitaminstree👏👏
I am 22 and I Iovveee sarees. ❤❤ specially cotton and silk.
I am definitely looking forward to wearing them in the future. Sarees are love🥰
Being a Bengali girl saree has always been really close to my heart! Loved this video😉
Bengalis really slay the saree don't they! With a bindi and such bright red colors yall look like goddesses ❤
Absolutely!💜
Saree or bindi hindu religion part hay koi muslim ka nehi

For all those who think saree is uncomfortable and too much to work with, rethink the fabric and drape and the blouse design and you will be good to go.
Sarees are the most graceful piece of clothing that I have ever come across! I hope I get more occasions to wear them!
As a gen z woman, I’d like to mention that the reason I’m not enthusiastic about sarees is because Indian attire is expected of young women but not of young men. In weddings or other formal events, the men wear suits while the women wear sarees or other Indian attire. As if women are expected to uphold Indian culture and values while men are free to wear whatever they feel comfortable in. Although I can appreciate the cultural importance of sarees, I would like to have the choice to wear what I want to. When I’m Im forced to dress in one way, and shamed when I dress “western”, obviously I’ll develop an aversion to sarees. And to top it all off, it takes too much time and effort for me so 🤷🏻♀️ and also isn’t this in contradiction to your “women’s fashion is sew impractical” video?
It's perfectly okay if you don't want to wear sarees as long as it's YOUR choice because judgements happen with all kinds of things. Just like some people are forced to wear "professional dress" in an office environment when they wear sarees or suits even though they can be formal as well. Or when they are shamed if they like to wear too many ornaments over ghagra - shrangaar was actually a much-celebrated cultural practice NOT forced. It might be the reverse in your case where you are shamed when you wear western. Unless there is a dress code for a particular occasion and you are dressed appropriately in public it shouldn't matter WHAT your choice of garment is or how you style it. Obviously, you would develop aversion because of the attitude of people around you but that doesn't invalidate this video. Personally, I don't wear sarees coz I don't think it suits my body type but I love lanchas, suits and lehengas and can still appreciate sarees and will be open to trying those on selected occasions.
@@Priya-cm3tr Hi yeah, coming back to this a year later i can see how my perspective was very limited. ofc it can go both ways. thank you for the reply
As a male, I can say it is the other way too. Men are shamed if we uphold our culture. A woman can wear a saree to official meetings. Can a man wear a kurta? No. Why this discrimination?
Loved your presenting way!! How beautifully you all the videos! ❤
You put so much effort into your videos and i really admire that !
My age is 24 and still haven't worn a saree ever..Not even for our Durga Puja and i am upset when other women in my life judge me and comment on me that being a girl i still don't like wearing saree...I mean seriously..I am not comfortable to walk or do my daily activities wearing a saree...I hope ppl's mentality change on women clothing and give them the same freedom as men(as no one questions my male friends when they don't like wearing traditional men clothes)
I'm glad our majority of youth is not like u otherwise we would have lost our beautiful culture.
In my family irrespective of our gender we all wear traditional clothes on special occasions.
every woman who adapts completely to a man's culture style with jeans pants and t shirts contributes to the male energy on earth. But we need our female energy to define us as a female. And wearing a saree expresses that in a beautiful way.
I wore on my farewell felt so pretty n gracious.🥰
Like always, loved your honest intentions,efforts and ultimately the work you guys publish out. ❤️
I Love your videos! Way of it! Presentation is superb.
The best thing about saree- it fits every size and shape. It doesn't have a fixed size
love ur way. something out of the box. kudos..
Great video ❤️
Damn!! Your work and efforts are really mind-blowing ✨ It's been an year since this video is uploaded but still it didn't lose it's spark❤️ I love your way of presenting a topic and giving views over it using factual information💞
Nicely done!
Nice video but I was not happy from @3:14 because it seemed a little pushy for someone to tell others what they should wear. Perhaps it hits a nerve for many of us millenials as we are constantly told by society to wear such "Indian sanskari wear". So it triggered the way we feel during moral policing. Besides wearing it every day takes away the charm. My mom wears it in parties and suits on normal days so I find it glamourous but I have some relatives who wear it everyday due to which I don't find it much different when I see them at parties.
Great video
Awwww😍😍😍😍😍
This video is just so cute ....
Just amazing
Thank you, You're cute too!
Thank you for making this video I’m about to buy my first saree and lahenga they are so beautiful I can’t help but love the colors and the vibrantness and you also have given me history on them so I’ll wear it proudly 🥰😍🙂
This reminds me to get in shape before my farewell, going to wear it first time!
Downvoted for the part from @3:14 onwards. I have seen and heard of too many women(including my mother) being verbally abused and discriminated against and finally forced to wear sarees both in professional and family settings. People should wear what they want to wear. Nobody should be forced/shamed/guilted/otherwise compelled to wear/not wear sarees.
Hey Sutapa, you're right, people should wear what they want to wear and nobody should force or verbally discriminate against people for their choice of clothes and it sucks that such things still happen. We just think Sarees could be cool too and think Sarees could be worn outside of special occasions. But again, you do you girl!
@@VitaminStree This is why we love you!
Just like many are shamed for wearing one in professional circles. It's the people's mentality regarding conformity that applies vice-versa. Your personal experience doesn't discredit the validity of the video because while it's boosting the everyday wear of Sarees it is NOT demeaning other apparesl or advocating for compulsion.
Awesome work would love to watch a video featuring the people responsible for such great content
Fantastic mam history
Make it everyday affair? By the time one drapes it around, they'd finish a whole lot of other things. Also, washroom troubles.
Certain occasions are fine, but it isn't practical enough for me to wear it everyday.
Ohh nice designs.
#instagram generation salutes uh for opening our eyes ... We thought that saree is traditional bondage... But now i know it is our culture which we should cherish
Nice project 👍
You guys never fail to amaze. ❤️🌈
All for the saree staying, but I personally will not want to wear one... Ever again.
They're too much work for me.
Areia Rome exactly! Pallu samhaalo, drapes milakar rakho, safety pins ka lafda omg
Same here
Same
U can just buy a ready to wear one which won't take more than 5 minutes.
Seriously sarees are love. And truly the best part is ....it makes every shape look beautiful.
A must apparel in a Indian women's wardrobe
Thank you this will help me in my debate activity in my schoo tomorrow
All the best! 🔥
Nice information
I love saarees really, and this video made me love it more 😊. Thank you Vitamin Stree ❤
💖
Well I'm a 24year old even though I use western apparel as everyday clothing but when it comes to Durga Puja, Saraswati Puja, fresher, farewell and even family functions like cousin's wedding etc. my first choice is always saree.
Great 👍
Thanks
This video made me smile!
Tanisha Pandit same
This comment made us smile!
Beautifully edited and informative video. Cheers to the team!!! 💋💋💋
Cheers to you too Vedanti! 💖
3:02 yeah, thousands of lores in their folds as the memories I shared with my mother and grandmother still touch upon my heart ❤️ I remember how I used to conceal myself in my mother's pallu and yell "bhow!" In order to scare her and she's being a great mother hugged me as thousands of mothers who are awesome ❣️ and also asked my help to make the plates that looked exquisite with her gorgeous smile! Love you a lot vitamin stree 🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕
I love saree...it will always be in fashion
I love saree... ❤😍
I love your post! 👏🏻
We love your comment!
Very nice 👍👍❤❤
Saree worn in right way can amazingly accentuate your curves...I make it a point to wear saree atleast once during Navratri......in order to make a statement you can also wear it with crop tops and shirt and pair it up with cool sneakers.......the way saree it worn might change in future but it will surely never go out of fashion .....saree it truly a seven yards of sheer elegance
You rightly said, "Saree doesn't discriminate"🌺
this is a good channel .i am surprised u r not super popular yet.
Soon...very soon...
Good video
Very nice
Vitamin stree is really a great channel m
Nice video
your video editing is sooo satisfying...😍😘
Thank you, our editors are the best!
Vitamin Stree most welcome 😊
Nice❤
YOU DO AMAZING VIDEOS. DAMN💖💯
THANK YOU
Saree is of course not something that I am wearing everyday...but yes, I have learned to embrace it now since I have leanrt how to wear it
I LOVE SAREES😍
Literally the best thing I liked about it is how you never outgrow a saree - fits every body type equally! It was a confidence booster when I realised that I looked just as good in it despite an increase in weight. Like, what other clothing says inclusivity as well as this one does? ^^
Us Indian women love our sarees and churidaars. Never gonna give it up!
My most special memory with sarees is the ones with the Katha stitch sarees. When they'd get old, our grandma would stitch them into fabulous looking pillows and blankets. It was the warmest thing ever!
Saree is my most favourite for which my craze from childhood till date has never gone down infact my love for saree has only increased by time as I feel it suits me better than anything else & enhances my personality even more & I think it's not just about me but almost all women.
Happy for you!
So, where is the history of the saree?
@@piyalichhajed6009 Kindly don't swear at me. Yes, I watched it, to my regret. I came here expecting the video to be for an international audience and anticipating a real history of the saree. If this video is only for people native to Indian culture and related cultures, to whom the history, traditions, philosophy etc of India are a given, than the author should have marked it as such.
All national clothes I know have philosophy, ages of experience and tradition of the people behind them. My own culture being Russian, I can write at least 10 A4 pages in small print off the top of my head on the history of the Russian national costume, both on the Northern and Southern types each.
What do we have here on the saree?
"The birth of the saree. The saree is synonymous with history and Indian culture, though, if you break it down, it's basically a long piece of fabric. The Ancient Hindus believed that stitching cloth made it impure, so they found innovative ways to stay sanaskaari, but make it fashion. With as much growth potential as men in the workplace, the saree soon became the garment of choice for many countries. The Mughals made it craze popular, adding dazzling embroidery and intricate weaving, and everything was going great until surprise, surprise, the British came along and decided that just one loooong piece of fabric was way to NSFW. Though colonization was totally cool, of course, and added a modest blouse and petticoat to complete the look."
And that is all the author of the video has to say on the history of the saree.
For Goodness' sake, this is the SAREE!!! THE SAREE!!!!! 5000 years!!!
After that we have Khadi sarees ( yeah, let the international viewer stop the video and go looking for what exactly is a Khadi saree, instead of the author telling said viewer what it is and what it has to do with marches), representing freedom and empowerment and books on how to drape a saree and the women's apparel market in India.
I can't say I learned anything about the history of the saree from this video.
It's history starts some 5,000 years ago during the Indus valley civilization. Women wore cotton sarees and dyed them with natural colors. Also, one thing to be noted was that Hindus believed it was ill ominous to stitch cloth so Women would just wrap around the saree on their body and they were good to go.(anyone who wants to correct me or add something is most welcome!) 🙏
@@suhani551 Thank you!
@@svetlanalvova1128 You're most welcome ☺ Also if u want deep information then you can search the history of saree on Google you'll find a lot of info
@@suhani551 Thank you again!
I love sarees so much i can wear them every day.
Wear a saaree, it's not just your culture, your history but a great SYMBOL OF PERSEVERANCE IN THE FACE OF OPPRESSION. The British tried squash our traditional handlooms with all their might. Buy traditional handloom saaree on your trips to various parts of the country.. fill your cupboard with the fabric of India.
( P.S. It boosts rural economy, promote authenticity and eco friendly production)
That's a great point, Anjali!
This channel is love
You are too 💖
Yes🎉
people saying stitching clothes makes it unpure is not the least bit surprising and also totally on-brand.
Nice 👌
I love Kerala and bengali saree
nice ❤️
Cotton sarees are cool and comfortable. 😊It is the silk ones that make me sweat. 😓
I realized this only after I wore my grandma's cotton saree for fun much later after that cumbersome silk for the Sanskrit drama.😄 (School's Annual Day celebration)
I have always liked a saree
Saree for life♥️
They are perfect amount of reveal can be placed any way ..once in habit nothing more comfortable tha then ..they r not discriminated on occasion ..even from household to college functions and job .they r way better ....they don't clot a plot of blood like the Jean's or are not sticky as the one piece..they r just love..😍😍😍
This is too cute yr 😍😍😍
I love Saree's but Saree's doesn't suits me.. Because I'm very skinny... 😢😢😢
Who told you that? Sari looks beautiful on everybody .
@@sancharipal8449 not on me 😢😢..
@@sancharipal8449 trueee
@@nandhiniarumugam6477 get sarees with lighter fabrics like chiffon or silk. So they would follow on your body and curves naturally and it should move with your body then I bet you would look sexy as heck. Choose light fabric, smaller prints and lighter colours
Sarees look flawless on everyone! Choose the type of saree which will go with your physique and go on, picture perfect ❤️
Definately #sareesarecool
Love them ,
Got a chance to wear it once but wanna keep wearing them!
Saree not sorry 👍
I ❤️ wearing traditional Clothes..!!
I would prefer wearing desi clothes than those itchy jeans and basically the western wear..!!
I wear traditionals everywhere on my BDay...the new year..the holi the diwali...
Awesome work. Would love to watch a video featuring the people responsible for such great content.

I am a simp for saree part of the reason being I am a history student. It's history starts from the Indus valley civilization and I love them so much. 🥻💖
Nice
l love saree❤️❤️❤️
It's is very difficult to maintain a saree. But once you know it, you will love it.
Nyc ❤❤❤
Sucha cute video ya
This video is really helpful for us. I hope everyone will understand about the saree myth.
Cringed hard when they said Mughals made saree better.
Same mughal kings who raped countless no of women, when they were done raping then made intricate embroidery and then the women was happy again and forgot the crimes of Mughals.
@@Atul-Kr-117 I am not interested in history I have watched video and comment the video bcoz I wear saree but not know about the history. If your information is correct so okay
