How To Choose A Perfect Saree For Your Body Type

Image
Saree   is the quintessential Indian traditional wear, which women can carry off with great panache. Every woman can look good in this wonderful garment, provided she chooses the right material and drapes it well. So, here are some tips that will help you zero in on a saree, which will compliment your body type. 1. PEAR-SHAPED BODY Women with pear-shaped body have a heavier bottom compared to their upper body. So, they should go for fabrics like chiffon and georgette, as these would balance out their upper and lower part. Always stay away from mermaid cuts that would add unnecessary attention to your lower part. Go for seedha pallu style in draping, as that will make your body look proportionate. Bold and bright colours will suit you the best. You can opt for beautiful borders, small prints and embroidery work. 2. APPLE-SHAPED BODY If you are heavy around your bust and stomach, then you have an apple-shaped body (just like Kirron Kher). That is why you should op...

Discarding your favourite dress because it has a stain that doesn’t wash away or, not wearing your leather jacket because of creases on it is silly. We have some hacks up our sleeve that will come in handy in resolving these fashion problems we often face in everyday life. Here’s how to fix these at home without breaking a sweat. Use a hair straightener for ironing collars When you cannot find an iron, and spot a crease on your dress or shirt, your hair straightener can come to your rescue. Depending on the fabric, adjust the setting to low or high and then use it to iron out the crinkle.

If fashion jargon is something you don’t really understand, start here by learning these common words and terms that will up your game the next time you catch up with your fashionista friends. HAUTE COUTURE This term is French for high sewing or high dressmaking and often refers to exclusive designer creations.

They are also custom-made according to the wearer’s size. A good example of a couture outfit would be the Cinderella-esque gown wore by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at this year’s Cannes festival. LABEL The term fashion label refers to upcoming designers who make ready-to-wear outfits in limited numbers. These outfits are high on style and are often expensive than regular store garments but lesser than established designer wear. The difference between a label and a brand i...
