Fashion Tips For Attending An Indian Wedding - Fashion

From EjWiki

While talking about colors, an Indian wedding is all about being glamorous in the most graceful manner. This doesn't mean that you deck your figure with repulsive colors! You should avoid wearing white since it is worn at funerals while black depicts an air of mourning. Go bold with a passionate red or grace the floors with a tender pink and white sari at the wedding. Try to avoid wearing bright red since the color is meant for the bride. You certainly wouldn't want to outshine the maiden in honor. It is important to note that dresses with extravagant glitter can look pretty yet disturbing so it is better to mellow the designs on your dress. Always carry a scarf alongside to cover your head as is customary at a few Indian weddings. A scarf is an excellent wrap-around if you're wearing thin or light garments on a cold wedding night.

I know that fashion films are more akin to music videos than traditional "films" per se, but I still think they are an interesting new form of filmmaking that are worth talking about. I’ve written a brief introduction below, but I’m curious as to what your thoughts are. What is fashion film? Broadly speaking, a fashion film is a film that is primarily about showcasing fashion objects, like clothes, bags, and other stylistic elements. While films involving fashion have been around for a long time, a new, specific "field" called fashion film has evolved over the last few decades into its own entity. What makes fashion film different from other kinds of film? Fashion films tend to have no real narrative. In theory, the narrative, if there is one, should presumably be in the clothes themselves, not in the structure of the film or its dialogue. The focus is supposed to be on the clothing, but in practice, most films have a sort of mood or subtle story.

Would you know what influenced that silhouette around that time? I'm trying to get to the root of this trend all together if you know about it. We don't really know the full logic behind it (which is true of most changes in fashion, historically - in part because lime green sleeveless dress is an art form and aesthetic preferences are always a factor). False rumps and bustle pads came in with a wave of informal types of gowns in the late 1770s, which I discussed at length in this Floating Feature post. Do you have a fashion plate to illustrate this "bustleness" you're referring to? Because I don't recall signs of emphasis on the back of the skirt around this time, as far as I know, it was exclusively bell shaped. Sure - here's a French fashion plate from 1834. It's actually fairly subtle. Skirts were bell-shaped, but with slightly more of a "bounce" in the back. This post from the Northeast Costume Mounting blog shows a number of different pads that were used in the period to help make sure that the skirt didn't have complete front-back symmetry.

Stays are the basic women's support garment. They are different from a 19th century corset. Stays lace from bottom to top, end at or near the waistline, and are designed to give a sort of flat-sided, conical appearance. Corsets come down over the hips and typically have one lace coming from the bottom up to the waist and a second lace from the top down to the waist. These cords are cinched in to give an hourglass appearance. Wearing a pair of stays should feel sort of like wearing a lumbar support belt and a sports bra at the same time. If wearing them hurts, something is wrong. Finally, petticoat is the historic term for what we today might call a skirt. Many inexperienced people wear their shift incorrectly. They either pull the neck drawstring so tight that it looks like the shift is attempting to eat their head, or they loosen it so much it is falling of their shoulders in some sort of Ren Faire wench look.

Printed jackets, both, long and short look super stylish and are suitable as work wear, more so when you're looking to break the monotony. A dash of funky prints this season can make your work wear wardrobe look fresh, youthful and high on fashion. Keep it long- Long jackets fit perfectly well in the professional as well as casual set up. They also make a compelling style statement irrespective of what you pair them with. Long boots and long jackets when clubbed make for the perfect work wear giving those around you instant fashion goals. Wear them to a meeting and be prepared for a kill or two. Glam it up- Cape style sleeveless jackets are just right for every occasion, even for work wear. They are also perfectly aligned with the A/W season which is neither too warm nor too cold. From office to parties you can flaunt these jackets all the way. Wear them with white fitted pants, solid black top and black stilettos to steal the show. Play with stripes & checks- Stripes and checks are two not-to-be missed work wear styles this A/W season. These bold styles are recommended especially for those who are lean and would like to have a rounded appearance. Combinations like burgundy and black or black and white are forever favorites and can be easily worn for any occasion, especially as work wear.
