Do you feel frustrated when you see a lot of nice looking punjabi suits but they are not sleeves, or the shirt too short or too small?

And i would like to extend the opportunity to ya all to tailor-make your punjabi suits at about S$25 - $30 only. Complete with Dupatta (the Long big scarf).

First, let's look at some designs.
A Modern Red & wine Shalwar w short Kameez
A more traditional Long Shalwar Kameez
Check out the straight cutting of the pants.
a Yellow crepe Churidar Kameez.
I like this kind of collar, don't you?
Of course this pants is a bit too tight for us.
You can opt for a diff type of shalwar (bottom) lah like the one above.
The more modern patterns
The shalwar looks more like a ghagra. The tops are called Churidar for short shirts
Now we come to Lehngas:
Actually, this is a bridal lehnga. But i like how the choli (top) is designed like a vest.
To make a less gawdy or fanciful lehnga for everyday wear, don't get the ones with heavy embroidery.

I love the look of these outfits and am still trying to get the lingo down on what the pieces are. They look so elegant and feminine, yet comfortable. So how weird would it be for an irish american gal to wear one of these!? Would it be disrespectful in any way?
wow...good biz opportunity since you have the contacts. :) i reli like the first 2 designs.
Hi Sandra, Yeah there ARE lovely aren't they?
Yeah there are quite a few terms. Im actually quite confused whether a churidar is a top or bottom~
I dont think it would be disrespectful. In fact, i'd think they'd love to see other pple wearing their traditional clothes like i would when i see my japanese aunty wearing a baju kurung.
Hmmm re: weird... Subjective i suppose. I love wearing shalwar kameez but often feel a bit conscious when i meet with other INdians or Pakistanis. Like m i wearing it correctly? or what? kinda thought. But if you're able to get a hand of one of those... why not?
ohhh ibu Aisyah... Shall i await your measurements? ;)
i am a little late but i would like to make one for myself! can you let me know if i can still make it in time for one order? i assume this is a singaporean thing.
btw this is yijing here. i am a singaporean that would like to make a set for myself.
