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...

Useful Fashion Hacks Every Woman should Know

Image
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. Hair straighteners work best for ironing collars as they get the creases out, and keep them stiff and in shape. Remove yellow sweat stains this way Often, a white top can have a yellow patch due to a sweat stain. But you can get rid of this with the help of lemon juice. Squeeze the juice of a lemon in a spray bottle and spray it on the yellow stain. Allow it to stay for 10 minutes a...

10 Common Fashion Terms and Their Meaning

Image
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. The exclusivity comes from the fact that haute couture outfits are constructed by hand from start to finish. Couture is always limited edition and is more expensive than ready-to-wear garments. 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...

Au Courant Tunic Tops, Kurtis & Kurtas Your Wardrobe Needs

Image
Women’s tunic tops have emerged as a favorite new trend in the last few years. These versatile and comfortable fashion garments can be worn for a wide variety of occasions and easily meld into different fashion sensibilities, making them the preferred casual wear garment of choice for many women across the world. In fact, tunics for women can come in all different styles, from casual and semi-casual to more dressy and/or formal. These can then be worn even at office, for parties or any special occasions. These stylish garments are descended from the traditional Greek tunics, which were worn by men, though today the design has evolved to resemble a long top, generally with a flowing silhouette, worn predominantly by women. The Indian versions are called ladies’ kurtis. Fashion tunics meant for parties and other such occasions frequently come with daring necklines like deep neck, halter neck, key hole neck and deep v-neck as well as more sophisticated styles like collar neck...

If costumes from across the world are put to a trial by beauty, we doubt if any other attire could match up to a saree in its grace and elegance. A saree is the six yard description of Indian femininity. Talk of the poise, grace, and charm it awards the lady draping it, or of the wondrous eyes of a little lady dreaming of growing up into a young woman and draping herself in her mother’s best saree, the saree is an incredibly important, must-have item of Indian clothing. The saree is a female garment, which is perhaps the most recognisable icon of India. It is made of an unstitched fabric that ranges from six to nine yards in span. It is most commonly paired with a blouse and tucked in at the waist on one end, wrapped around, pleated at the center and finished with the other end draped over the shoulder. The draping style varies according to the region, religion, social class and style preference, but in essence, it is an all-time wear garment that can be worn just abou...
