Fashion : " Expandable Blouse"

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?
