Dressing Up Indian Woman

Recommended Posts

How wonderful it is to be born as an Indian woman! Many of you might be wondering, as to what makes me so happy,to let you know the reason I will tell you that with varied cultures existing here, you can easily land with a lot of options to dress. Just go anyway you like..... the ethnic,the modern or the the fusion way. Not only in India,but around the world, it is considered proper to dress according to the occasion and that becomes easier in India (with a proper sense of dressing)because of the choices you have. To have a fetish for Indian clothing is usual as there is a vast variety, like, starting from the north, embroidery and warm fabrics from Kashmir, unique stuff from Ladakh, Himachal and Garhwal, the typically stitched "Patialis" from Punjab, the well known "Chikankari" from Lucknow; moving west, its all a fair of colors in Rajasthan and Gujarat with their own mark of craftsmanship; down south, can be well termed as a silk paradise, gorgeous pieces of clothes are produced here out of silk and cotton with jaw-dropping borders; upwards towards the east, you can totally get spellbound by the shimmer of quality clothing, Assam produces and exports very sought after quality of silks which are high-priced as well, Bengal comes up with an innumerable range of fabrics which are enough to fill any clothing outlet up,Orissa too has a considerable contribution with its traditional art of clothing and all other northeastern states also have noticeable style of clothing; so I guess that can be a reason enough to be glad to dress in India, the Indian way, the exquisite, culture-borne materials for dressing will satisfy the hunger to look good and prove a sight of delight to the one you pass across.

The great Indian diversity- plays its part in the way people (especially women) dress up in India. While the west may describe our country and people as being bright, colorful and rich in traditions, we know better about the varieties within so much variety. Consider a social gathering in an urban city like Delhi or Mumbai; we will have people from all around the country congregating with their own shades of regional flavor.And it is true that women have the luxury to choose a style (or outfit) from any part of the country. Not just that, there is a widespread concept of mixing up different clothes and forming your own trendy-style.As rightly you said, women in our country do have plethora of costumes at their disposal.

Chikankari is a not only art but it is a culture in india.Chikan embroidery is expected to be very important art which is near annihilation. It has been used by the smart craftsmen of clothing since the Mughal era. We need to preserve this art of Chikankari in which a lot of persistence and attention is required.
