Question

Do Indian women wear a bra or do they wrap a garment to bind their breasts?

Community Answer

They actually do neither. They think it is uncomfortable, so they just wear a kurta or something similar over it.

Question

If a kurtha is loose, how do you tighten your waistline? String, pin, belt?

Community Answer

There is a pattern where there is a tie up attached around the waist. It is sometimes only at the back like frocks, or sometimes it is at the front creating gathers or folds. Likewise, you can have a strip sewn on the inside of the waist and have the tailor put an elastic in it to make it a pattern with tightened waist and gathers. This is more suited with a-line kurta or anarkali style tops that are flared.

Question

My salwar kameez is over knee length, is that okay?

Community Answer

Salwar is your pant. Kameez means shirt. Yes, over knee length kameez is okay. It's a trend to wear a short kameez reaching your thighs and wear a loose salwar under it. Like a salwar or a very loose patiala. Leggings are avoided because the short kurta tends to fly in the air or go up a lot if it is loose or has slits on the sides.

Question

What colour footwear and accessories should I wear with a red salwar suit?

Community Answer

Oxidized jewelry with a tinge of blackened designs can accentuate the red salwar suit for a fun and young look. To have a softer appearance, you can team it up with beige footwear and accessories. If you like red and black, then that can be your choice of color. Red can go with many other colors if it is patterned, since you can pick a color from the print on it or design on it and have your footwear and accessories match it. Gold also looks stunning with red for special occasions.
