Say No to Ugly Pit Stains!

A sure fire way to de-glam and completely kill a look is by wearing something absolutely stunning and then having nasty armpit sweat stains!

Designing Dories! Saree Back Strings..

Dori, Dorise, Blouse Back Designs!

There is absolutely nothing sexier than a beautiful blouse with dorise (strings at the back). Dorise on Saree Blouse create an ultra glam chic look that is sexy and stylish at the same time. Whether worn on an elegant sari or a casual one, they just work!

One important thing to keep in mind is that there is a certain way of having dories stitched on when designing a blouse. Firstly, pay attention to the fabric. Avoid dories on silk or thick cotton blouses as they ruin the fitting of the blouse. Other fabrics like cheffonne have a better fitting with dories.

Secondly, when designing dories please make sure that the borders are not close together. See that they are relatively far apart so that when the dories are tied they fit well and don’t look like something has just been packed in them. Incorporating dories in sari blouses or salvar kameeses has a very feminine and playful look. It is also a huge Bollywood style, try it out!

The Bold and The Beautiful!

The one way of making a true fashion statement is by wearing saris with big, bold prints.

Bold print saris are often making it in and out of the fashion scene, depending on the latest style and the seasons.

However, one thing to keep in mind is that as long as you pick prints that work well together and colors that compliment your skin, you absolutely cannot go wrong.

Some ladies often feel intimidated by bolder prints, therefore it’s important to know that with latest styles and the evolution of fashion bolder prints now tend to have a more retro look.

Sometimes they involve 'bling' such as crystals and rhinestones, they maybe netted, they may also have a more metallic look in addition to sequences and paints.

Its always a great idea to think about having a really beautiful bold looking sari with extravagant prints in your wardrobe, they look great when worn to cocktail parties, eveningwear or even festivals.

Dare to be bold and make your statement with style!

Don't just Wear it.. OWN it! Celebrity Salwar Kameez Style Tips..

One of the most common misconceptions that people have with salwar kameez is that it’s great for any figure type. Although that maybe partially true, the real truth is that it all depends on the type of salwar style you wear that works with your body type.

Believe it or not sometimes the wrong cut or fit of the Salwar kameez can actually make you look several pounds bigger than you really are.

The salwar kameez is a beautiful traditional outfit worn primarily by ladies from India and Pakistan and its complete look is created by putting together a tunic (kameez) that may vary in length depending on the style, along with pants (salwar) and a long scarf (dupatta/chunni).

The entire look of the Salvar Kameez is one that embodies true ethnic style as well as the richness of the Indian and Pakistani culture. Here are some suggestions on how to create the perfect look just for your body type:

Set it Right: Wear a salwar around your naval area, as it will pull in your stomach. Also consider tying strings on your side, as it reduces the look of the paunch.


For Broad Shoulder: If you have broad shoulders then avoid wearing puffed sleeves and opt for more v-neck or sweet heart necklines.


For Smaller Bust: If you have a smaller bust wearing squared, rectangular necklines creates the illusion of a fuller bust line. Sometimes wearing a kurtha with an embroidered damaan also does the job.


Kameez Length: The kameez should be a little longer in height. It makes you look taller. For instance, if your height is around 5 feet 3 inches then your kameez height should be around 47- 48 inches.


For Thick Arms: If you have fat arms and therefore cannot wear sleeveless then go in for sleeves of about 5 inches length. This will hide the flab on your arms and your hands will look thinner.


Fall 2009 Trends: Salwar can be worn in many styles. Styles keep changing with Trends. Recently big bottoms were in fashion and now short Kurtas Are back in vogue with patiyala style bottoms.


For Churidar Style: Chudidar looks good on long kameezs or Kurtas. Avoid wearing them on short Kurtas. Chinese collar (closed neck) makes you look tall, but avoid it if you have broad shoulders.


Look Slim: Avoid Organza or any stiff cloth if you want to look slimmer in Salwar Kameez.
