Indian Traditional Sari
Grace and Style of India

India Fashion Sari come with complementary blouse and petticoat (under-skirt). Once you place your orders, please email to us your desired blouse measurements, like shoulder length, bust circumference, and arms length. It takes approximately a week to prepare the accessories. Petticoats are in free sizes, so there is no need to send specific measurements.

The sari is the quintessential Indian femal garment. Nothing identifies a woman as being Indian so strongly as the sari, although women also wear saris in many other countries, especially in Bangladesh, Nepal and /sri Lanka. Saris come in all shapes and sizes, from textured handwoven fabrics created in remote mountain areas to sheer luxurious silks, once exclusively royal. Even today, after two centuries of disruptions caused by colonialism and industrialization, a multiplicity of traditional saris still exists, created in a wide range of fabrics and designs, reflecting the subcontinent's great cultural diversity.

There are tibal (adivasi) peoples whose ancestores were probably South Asia's origional inhabitants; many ethnic groups who may live in remote rural areas or in the heart of big cities but who still maintain their cultural identities; and sophisticated urbanites whose ancestores were India's aristocrats, intellectuals and traders. Most of them posses traditional saris which they still wear today.
/>
India's saris evolved out of a complex physical, historical and cultural environment that differs from region to region and community to community.
The sari's origions are obscure, in part because there are so few historical records in India compared to most other major civilizations. Yet wo know that Indians were wearing lengths of unsewn cloth draped around their bodies long before tailored clothes arrived.

Although the sari is an untailored length of cloth, the fabric is highly structured and its design vocabulary very sophisticated. It is divided into three areas: the longitudinal borders; the endpiece; and the field.
Traditionally, each area communicated a woman's social and family status, as well as her regional identity, for centain colours and motifs were reigion- and community-specific. Its sizes and elaboration also indicated a family's wealth because added ornamentation takes more weaving time, and so adds to the sari's cost.

Ladies wrap clothes
The skirt in India is known by many different names, depending on the regional style, the most popular, by far, being the ghaghra.It was the flare that made the ghaghra such a sumptuous garment and one so captivating that it was celebrated both in poetry and art. The ghaghra is really a long wrap, which has the construction of a simple gathered wrap or a flared gored wraps.

The advantage of this skirt is that it can be accessorised with dupattas, scarves, short kurtas and little strappy tops. It is like the Rajasthani lehenga - the more accessories you add, you can get the gypsy look and if you wear it with a scarf, the look turns formal. It looks good on almost everyone, which perhaps explains why it's in such hot demand

Kurti Womens Top from India
Womens Fashion
Ladies TopThe kurti is an upper garment worn with a kanchli.

However, it is not seen in early paintings or [Womens Top] sculptures and seems to be a recent trend, perhaps not more than 200 years old. In the earliest paintings, for example, of the Banni-Thanni of Kishangarah, only the kanchli is seen.

It was possibly under the expanding power and influence of Mughal rulers that it came to be considered immodest to reveal so much of the upper body and women started wearing a kurti. However , in all walks of life the angia or kanchli is still preferred for daily use. In Rajasthan, only married women are required by tradition to wear a kurti. Amongst the Rajput, a widowed woman rarely wears the kurti.
Womens Summer Fashion
Sundresses
A sundress is an informal sleeveless dress of any shape in a lightweight fabric, for summer wear. The dress is intended to be worn without a layering top, and the design must therefore cut a balance between modesty and allowing sun exposure.
Sundress in cotton fabric is a very light dress, suitable for wearing outdoors or on beaches in bright sunshine. There is an inner lining in thin cotton fabric that adds to the comfort. Machine embroidery has also been done impart the dress some more attraction. A sundress, like a jumper, is sleeveless and collarless. However it isn't worn over a blouse or sweater, and is of a distinctly different cut and fashion.

In British English, the term jumper describes a sweater. Also, in more formal British usage, a distinction is made between a pinafore dress and a pinafore, which, though a related garment, has an open back and is worn as an apron. Pinny is a shorter name for both garments
Indian Dresses: India has a rich and varied textile heritage, where each region of India has its own unique native costume and traditional attire. While traditional clothes are still worn in most of rural India, urban India is changing rapidly, with international fashion trends reflected by the young and glamorous, in the cosmopolitan metros of India.

Fashion in India is a vibrant scene, a nascent industry and a colorful and glamorous world where designers and models start new trends every day. Indian Fashion is bordering on traditional and Western mix of styles creating a pattern of fusion.

History of Indian Garments from Ancient to Modern Times
Traditional Indian Fashion

The women were bare to the waist, except for the jewelry and were draped below in scanty skirts which ended above the knees. The skirt was held by a girdle made of strings or beads or bands of woven material secured by a broach or fastening of some kind. Sometimes in the cold weather cloak was wrapped round the upper part of the body, but it did not extend below the hem of the skirt, it only covered the arms without concealing the breasts.

Women sometimes wore a fan-shaped head-dress, but no footwear was worn by either sex. Both men and women kept long hair parted in the middle and coiled in a ring on top of the head, or in similar rings concealing the ears. Sometimes the hair was gathered up in a knot or bun and secured by a fillet which circled the forehead. Combs and hair pins were sometimes worn in the hair and thin ribbons of gold with decorative pendants were used as ornaments on the sides of the head. Ornaments like pendants, earrings, coils of gold or
silver, necklaces with rows of beads with different shapes, bangles, anklets and finger rings of various shapes, bangles, anklets and finger rings of various shapes were in use. There is evidence to show that the ladies of 'Mohenjodaro' were adept in the use of make-up and used khol and lipsticks to beautify themselves.
Wgkp011Slk414_2The Aryans were inhabitant of northern India i.e., Punjab and Kashmir. The Aryan conquest swept over the 'Sumerians' down to the south were the refugees settled down to become the ancestors of the 'Dravedians'. In their acclimatization to the warmer environments of their new home, the Dravedians gave up their winter cloaks, long hair and beards but retained their original apparel and omaments.
The prevalent fashion of the rolled and bifurcated loin cloth a worn by both sexes in South India answered the description o the men's clinging dhotis and the scanty skirts of the women The Nair women of the south are used to being bare to the waist while a few of the medieval, feminine south Indian fashions of hair styles are very similar to those discovered in the 'Mohenjodaro' excavations.
Indian Salwar Kameez
Salwar Kameez
Salwar kameez (also spelled Shalwar Kameez and Shalwar Qameez is a traditional dress worn by both women and men in South Asia.
Salvars or shalvars are loose pajama-like trousers. The legs are wide at the top, and narrow at the bottom. The kameez is a long shirt or tunic. The side seams (known as the chaak) are left open below the waist-line, which gives the wearer greater freedom of movement. In Afghanistan and Pakistan, the garment is worn by both sexes; it is the national dress code of Pakistan. In India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, it is most commonly a woman's garment albeit it is still worn by some men.

Salwars are gathered at the waist and held up by a drawstring or an elastic belt. The pants can be wide and baggy, or they can be quite narrow and made of fabric cut on the bias. In the latter case, they are known as churidars. The kameez is usually cut straight and flat; older kameez use traditional cuts, as shown in the illustration; modern kameez are more likely to have European-inspired set-in sleeves. The tailor's taste and skill are usually displayed not in the overall cut, but in the shape of the neckline and the decoration of the kameez.

When women wear the salwar kameez, they usually wear a long scarf or shawl called a dupatta around the head or neck. For Muslim women, the dupatta is a less stringent alternative to the chador or burqa (see hijab and purdah). For Sikh and Hindu women (especially those from northern India, where the salwar kameez is most popular), the dupatta is useful when the head must be covered, as in a temple or the presence of elders. For other women, the dupatta is simply a stylish accessory that can be worn over one shoulder or draped around the chest and over both shoulders.

Modern versions of the feminine salwar kameez can be much less modest than traditional versions. The kameez may be cut with a plunging neckline, sewn in diaphanous fabrics, or styled in sleeveless or cap-sleeve designs. The kameez side seams may be split high up to the waistline and, it may be worn with the salwar slung low on the hips. When women wear semi-transparent kameez (mostly as a party dress), they wear a choli or a cropped camisole underneath it.

The Shalwar kameez is sometimes known as "Punjabi suit," in Britain[1] and Canada.[2] In Britain, especially during the last two decades, the garment has been transformed from an everyday garment worn by immigrant South Asian women from the Punjab region to one with mainstream, and even high-fashion, appeal.[3]

In India, the garment was originally confined to the North, but as a convenient and modest alternative to a sari - and also as one that flatters practically any body-type - it has become popular across the nation. By varying the fabric, color and the level of embroidery and decoration, the salwar-kameez can be formal, casual, dressy, or plain; and it can also be made to suit practically all climates.
