About dori blouse design
A dori wala blouse has a fabric cord (dori) at the back neck that ties in a bow. The dori often closes a keyhole, a deep U or an open back, and many have tassels (latkans) at the ends. It lets you adjust the fit a little and adds a festive touch to even a plain blouse. Dori backs suit most body types and ages, and work for festivals, haldi, mehndi and weddings.
Tips for dori blouse design
- Ask for the dori in the blouse fabric or in the saree border colour, with ends long enough to hang below the bow.
- Have the tailor fix a hook or button behind the dori as well. The blouse then stays closed even if the bow comes loose.
- For a deep back, use two doris, one at the neck and one at the bottom of the cut. They hold the blouse more firmly than one.
- The loops that hold the dori take a pull every time you tie it, so ask for them to be stitched firmly with a small backing.
Questions people ask
How do I tie a dori blouse by myself?
If the blouse has hooks in front, tie the bow first and then wear the blouse. If it opens at the back, ask someone to tie it for you.
Which back neck is best for a dori blouse?
A keyhole, a deep U or a round back all work. A V back with a dori at the top is a simple, popular choice.
How long should a blouse dori be?
Most doris hang about 8 to 12 inches below the bow. Very long doris with heavy latkans swing and pull at the neck, so keep heavy ones shorter.
