Can't Wait Till This Comes Out!!

Looks funny :D

Customized Sarees, Salwar Kameez and Lehenga Cholis – A Blend of Tradition and Innovation

Inspite of the changing times, we still have a deep rooted attachment to our traditions that we cannot let go of. Even in these modern times, no matter what a girl might wear otherwise, the wedding day is reserved for ethnic wear for nothing can beat the beauty of a well designed and embellished lehenga choli. Lehengas are usually designed in eye catching colors such as red, golden, maroon etc. However, modern designers have moved away from conventional colors and are now experimenting with alternative hues like aqua, silver, lavender etc. The unconventional color palette helps in giving the modern bride a unique look on her special day. The latest trend is in customized lehengas. The style and cut can be changed s per your wishes which in turn gives you the perfect fit. And, along with the lehenga and choli, there is also the dupatta which is a part of the entire ensemble. Along with your lehenga, you can get your cholis and your dupatta custom made too.




What really makes you stand out on your wedding day is a well tailored designer lehenga. Made of lush fabrics such as tissue, net, silk or georgette, they are the perfect choice. Good colors for party wear include pink, sea green, aqua blue, ivory and cream with light embellishments using sequins and stones. However, for a wedding it is better to opt for a richer design with intricate embroidery heavy trimmings and elaborate patterns done with kiunadn, zardozi, crystals and sequins. Wedding lehengas are designed to sparkle and give a glittering look that looks gorgeous. Other than lehenga cholis, a lot of women choose sarees too. A traditional bridal saree not only looks amazing, it also has unmatched ethnic beauty. The most commonly preferred bridal sarees are the pure bandheja sarees as they have the required rich look needed for a wedding. The gota and zari designs of bandheja sarees give a lavish look on the day of the wedding. Another preference seen these days is embroidered sarees. In fact, when t comes to grandeur, nothing can beat the look of a heavily worked brocade saree.
 
  
 
The advantage of customized lehengas is that it lets you create your signature style statement. Instead of a regular pleated lehenga, you can decide on one which has a fish cut silhouette, an A line cut or even a slit up one side. Whatever your choice, it will be delivered to you via the multitude of exporters who sell designer lehengas online. As far as the blouse is concerned, a customized blouse is the simplest option. Take your pick from puffed sleeves, low backs, string backs, knots and much more. A lot of designers allow experimenting with dupattas too. Designer dupattas can range from choosing special fabrics such as crushed dupattas to customized lengths depending on what you want. The days when brides had to be satisfied with anything that was available are now gone. The modern bride wants to be the center of attention on her wedding day.

Just having sarees or lehengas is not enough. A newly wed bride needs salwar kameezes too and the fashion conscious bride of today doesn’t settle for anything less than a designer salwar kameez. The trends in salwar kameezes change very frequently. What is in today becomes outdated tomorrow. Keeping this in mind a bride needs to research the latest styles in salwar kameezes before making her purchases. A trendy frock type kurta with a fitted churidar always looks nice. The anarkali style salwar kameez, which is fitted in the chest and then flows out from the waist is also very in right now. In case you are planning a vacation immediately after the wedding, buying western cut salwars that are off-shouldered make a lot of sense. These can be paired with a stole or a scarf like dupatta.

But, be it a custom made lehenga, an ethnic Sarees or a chic salwar kameez, a bride’s wardrobe is incomplete without appropriate accessories. The latest online craze is all centered around women’s accessories. The hottest designs in earrings, pendants and rings are all the rage. Pair your jewelry to complement your outfit and see the compliments flow in. But, be sure to match them well because you wouldn’t want to look like a fashion disaster on your big day.

In eastern countries the culture and traditions of the country is reflected in their clothes. The manner and mode of dressing is dependent on the cultural commitments of the country. In fact, ethnic clothes are a major part of the age old cultural system. However, a shift is very noticeable these days when the western influence is predominant. The dress code has undergone several significant changes under the western influence leading to a cultural amalgamation. This cultural merger has led to a fashion divergence and the result is a trendy blend of the modern and traditional.

The western look with eastern aesthetics has gained much popularity and is followed in Indian and Islamic clothing too.

Hijabi Beginner: 5 Cons Of Hijab


I wrote a 5 Pros Of Hijab post a while back so I thought it was only fair to make a post on the cons too. This is so that you know what you are getting yourself into before you decide to put it on making you less likely to take it off later. And by 'it' I mean the headscarf as Hijab is not a cloth you can simply wear and in essence, is something that is applied to both sexes. So here goes:
.
1. Finding what clothes your are comfortable with can be a bit of a predicament at the start: Although most women who get to the point of wanting to wear the headscarf will be dressed pretty modestly already, some are not (including myself in that). I found it very hard when I first started wearing the scarf, to decide what 'sort' of hijabi I wanted to be. Abaya? Skirt? Jeans? Leggings..?! I tried them all and in the end settled for the middle (jeans/skirt). I would defiantly recommend you get that nailed and read on it thoroughly before covering your hair. Oh, and doooon't let any old person influence your decision - I did this and it led nowhere. In the end I realised that everyone has had different experiences, you just have to do what you feel is right.

2. 'Muslim' men.. The Quran explicitly and categorically commands men to lower their gaze and guard their chastity before it tells women to lower their gazes and cover. Paradoxically, I have found it is non Muslim men that fulfil this requirement by not 'checking out' hijabis or modestly dressed women and Muslim men that don't. Okay, firstly and obviously, they are not all like this so I am not making a sweeping generalisation but talking from experience. Secondly, this is never eeever a good thing nor should it be flattering - they look at anything that moves, it's really repulsive actually.

*Translation: "Nothing grabbed his attention.. except a french abaya.." - I'm pretty sure this is right but my Arabic reading isn't amazing so could somebody verify?

3. Shopping: Yes, that cute, pink 3/4 length sleeved dress will need to be bought with a perhaps not so cute long sleeved stretch top in future.. sorryy. And cardigans are pretty much a must but, of course, that's only a problem if you're not hot on them and who's not hot on cardigans?!
.
4. Bad Bun Days.. :S Basically the equivalent of a bad hair day. I had one on Friday, it was like a deflated souffle at the back of my neck which was really annoying and itchy.
.
5. Headphones: Omg, a nightmare to put on in public. It does depends on the style you are wearing and I think the most un-headphone-friendly hijab style has to be the Turkish wrap where you make a knot around the neck..
.
Soo that's pretty much it for me, hope it was helpful and doesn't put you off too much :S Oh, of course, there's the whole terrorist bomb thing blah blah blah.. but just as long as you don't wear a back pack (who would anyway?!) on a train/tube/bus and don't have a suspiciously large bun you should be alright..
