Punjabi Suits continued...

Yayy!! Finally found the other design charts courtesy of this website:

My fav is sooooooo the Mandarin Collar!!

The ones you usually see selling at Tekkah will be the Calf Length

I think mine are mostly On the Knee kind

I'm soooooo loving the boot cut can???

Now on to materials...

I can just tell you about the kinds that i have. I hafta warn you first that it doesnt look so nice hung on hangers but work wonders when worn!

This is georgette.

Characteristics: Flimsy but can be lined. Thin. Cool

Cotton

Characteristics: Stiff. Medium Thick. Good to defend against strong winds. Shapes nicely for thin females. (Not me)

If i'm not wrong this is Chiffon.

Characteristics: Medium thick. COMFORTABLE! EXCELLENT to shape your tudung!

I sooo dont know what this is called.

Characteristics: Flimsy. Thin. Cooling. Too lembik/soft for tudung.

Nor this.

Characteristics: COOL!!! THIN!!! COMFORTABLE!!

i imagine it falls nicely on me! LOL ,... but even Zubair loves it! Bcos of the seductive neck style i suppose. This is the sweetheart neck with a string at the top teasing you. hehehe

To be honest, i tot the prints were a bit old fashioned at first, but after i wear it... i simply LOVE it!! VERY traditional without looking old.





Note that most of the back neck designs are round neck and about 1 or 2 inch deep / low. I prefer no depth actually as i feel insecure like that... as though it might slip or something!





Yeah you can say i am the MOST PARTICULAR person ever lived!

Lastly, some lehnga tips. Prolly share the same principles and can be applied to Shalwar Kameez

1. If your height is short then look out for vertical prints with U neck or else square neck cut as they give you a taller appearance.
2. Avoid short sleeves and in fact sleeveless is a total no for short heighted
3. For disguising your short stature, drape dupatta in such a style that it flows from your shoulder to the knee.
4. Don't indulge in heavy work or heavy fabric dupatta.
5. For women with extra inches on waist, the ideal is Kurti style hip-hop Choli in dark bright shades.
6. Go in for sophisticated prints rather than complicated designs
7. For plumpy people, multi-shaded wardrobe is not advisable <<-- LOL, never liked it
8. Go in for a long length choli for a slimmer look with a deep neck showing a bit of cleavage
9. If you are plump, avoid sleeveless cuts <<--- Err... not for us anyways
10. Wear dark colors rather than going in for lighter shades and if you wish to wear lighter shades then prefer dull colors like instead of sky blue go in for dull blue or dirty blue. <<<-- i cldnt agree more!
11. Small prints and vertical line prints give a slimmer look
12. Heavy built should avoid cotton sarees and Kota sarees and should instead attire oneself in Chiffon and Georgette sarees. <<-- Yup, I cant do cotton either
    

This is from my previous research pre wedding. Unfortunately, i only saved the ones for short and plumpy stature. So no news for tall and skinny except that cotton is good for you gals.

Till then.
