British bridal sari competition
Fashion designers from across the UK will be competing in a national Asian wedding competition to create the best bridal sari.
The competition, dubbed the British Sari Story 2008, is inviting people to create their own beautiful saris.
The theme of the contest this year is to create a sari that best reflects life as a British Asian today, the Times of India reports.
Manjula Sood, the Lord mayor of Leicester, wears a sari to every public engagement she has and will be judging the competition along with Baroness Sheela Flather and fashion designer Roy Allen.
Ms Sood told the newspaper: "I'm delighted to be part of this project because I think it's very important that Asian women should have a voice and be able to express just how they feel about life today in this country.
"How better to do that than through a wedding sari? We've all seen the beautiful embroidery from south Asia but let's see what we can come up with in the UK. We may see wedding saris with buttons instead of sequins or with a Union Jack border!"
