Taken in the early 1970s in Assam, the women in these pictures are wearing traditional Assamese mekhela, barring one who is in knit collared top and boot cut trousers. 

Thank you, Plavaneeta Bohra for the images.  

"It was taken in 1975, in a small studio in Kalkaji, New Delhi. I was one year old and to celebrate we went down to the studio to take a pic. I had to be given a rattle because at first I was not smiling. I have a cutting of my mum's dress in the Bible, she put it there to commemorate the moment!" 

Thank you, Georgina Maddox for sharing this precious picture. Love that classy detailing on your mom's dress and those adorable booties you were wearing!
This is a picture from the early '80s in India shot in a studio in Mysore, Karnataka. One of these beauties is my Mum. I simply love what all of them are wearing. Don't miss the matching skirt-top suit, wedges, printed silk sarees and soft wavy hair that are so in style right now!

I love vintage fashion (who doesn't?!) and crave to document it in my small way through this blog. If you have photographs of an older India with men and women dressed in their best, please do email it to me at slowmotionthoughts@gmail.com.
