Expandable Blouse
Posted 28th January 2009 at 11:34 AM by Anandchitra
Technology and innovations have come a long way. I know how much has changed just in my kitchen.
From the days I sat near the grinding stone which looked large and menacing while my grandmother used to grind batter for idli and dosa to the days when refrigerator is present in all kitchens. From the small grinding stone present inside the kitchen to grind fresh coconut pastes for sambhar and kurma now we have not just the blender and mixie but immersion blender and food processors.
Not that I complain. I love all these which have certainly made life easier. Then there is the cell phone and recording features on t.v. Not the least being the internet.
I still wish for one small invention.
An expandable blouse.
Surely in the grand scheme of things its not too much to ask is it?
Ever since I can remember, the perfectly stitched blouse has evaded me.
Always the tailor used to make it a little too loose on the shoulder or little too tight near the arms or some small change and the fitting never fitted well.
When I did manage to find the perfect tailor it seemed the whole town discovered him too and then my blouse was forever delayed in being stitched and then delayed in being delivered.
Then there was a time that I could not find the blouse if I found the saree and could not find the matching blouse and so on.
This I fixed by spending countless hours organizing my tiny closet and prevented any other family member from stepping in.
Now there is a new kind of problem for me.
The blouse does not FIT.
The whole closet is perfectly organized and all blouses are present with their matching sarees.
But the blouse does not FIT.
If you belong to my family then your answer or suggestion would be to tell me to lose weight.
Since you do not belong to my family let us together explore this new possibility together.
Let us make a new discovery involving the blouse.
Make a new expandable blouse.
Then there is nothing to worry or fret forever.
The blouses would always fit and people like me need not speculate if the blouse would fit or not.
Truly its not too much to ask, is it?

Hi AC:
Long time since I visited your blog and came up with a comment!
Stretch blouses like stretch pants will be the answer to our problem:) I am a little tired of removing seams and stitching them back as I put on and reduce weight! Mostly the former...
For sometime I remember we used to get these knitted cotton blouses - I wonder why I don't see them anymore?!? Also, just a couple of years ago, satin blouses were making rounds and I'm sure they were expandable - the only problem with the current and past versions have been the range of colours!

Stretch blouses. Why did I not think up with this great genius idea my dear. So glad to see you here Sindhu.
You know what my big problem is. I have this one blouse which I have set aside as alavu blouse meaning its used for measurements. Never can I can getting something stitched exactly like that!!!!
I am truly glad that I have company on this matter:)Posted 28th January 2009 at 01:33 PM by Anandchitra - Mythreyi I dont know is the answer once?? hehe.. glad you stepped in dear. So I am not alone hmm?!Posted 28th January 2009 at 01:34 PM by Anandchitra

Hi AC Ma'am
Great idea! Not only will these "Adjustable Blouses" fit me all year around, they will also fit my mom. Looking at it the other way around, all of my mom's blouses will fit me n I can wear her sarees whenever I want ... no blouse fitting problems!!!
AC Ma'am, you are a genius!
Now lets find a way to put this wonderful plan to action!!! Its a great business plan actually ... I'm sure we have a lot of takers!Posted 28th January 2009 at 02:59 PM by swethakrishnan
