Saree an Indian wear makes a woman look graceful, stylish, elegant and sensuous. Just be a little selective while buying sarees . You should always buy saree by keeping your weight, height, and skin complexion in consideration. The fabric and design should be such that it always compliments you and your body. It should reflect in your attitude and confidence.
Saree for Overweight Women :
How To Drape A Saree To Look Slim?
Saree is undoubtedly a beautiful clothing for every woman regardless of her age and shape ( but consider what suits you the best). However, not all sarees look good on everyone (imagine a short height woman wearing bold and big prints). Anyways, Did you ever imagine that you can wear one piece of cloth in about 100 different ways?? If not then you have underestimated Saree. With all those different types of saree and the different kind of drapes, one can try various options. Yes, you can wear it in n number of ways. The styles of draping a saree are endless.

It should reflect in your attitude and confidence.
- If you choose the right fabric and drape the saree in right manner, you can look far slimmer than your actual body size.
- Light fabric is best for you. Go for Georgette, chiffon, crepe, Italian silk and such other lightweight materials. These fabrics stay close to body and fits perfectly on your boday. The material gives nice fall and you a slimmer look. These fabrics have a good fall
- Stiff materials like cotton and organza adds more volume to your body. Avoid such fabrics.
- However, if you still love handloom cotton sarees, then go for light cotton or those which are mixed with other fabrics.
- Some sarees of south India like 'cotton silk sarees' will suit you more than the traditional heavy cotton sarees.
- Heavy or glossy material is not meant for you.
- Dark colors are best for plus size women.
- Tuck your saree well and proper, so that it doesn't add volume at certain areas.
- If you have a tummy and want to wear a saree made of heavy or thick fabric like a banarasi saree, then avoid tucking too many pleats at the waist near to your navel. Adjust the pleats in such a way that they do not all fall at one place only.
Saree for Slim Women :
- You can wear any type of saree if you are not too slim.
- But if you at too skinny then go for fabric that add volume to your body.
- Heavy and fluffy fabrics like brocade sarees, heavy silk sarees, cotton sarees, Organza etc. will suit you the best
- Heavily embellished sarees like rich embroidered sarees and more traditional kanjeevaram sarees and Tissue saree should look good on you.
- If you are tall and you like wearing synthetic sarees, go for bold and big prints.
- Short height women should go for small border and small print sarees instead of bold and big prints. Bigger borders will make you look shorter.
- Light colored sarees, particularly pastel shades will suit your body type.
- Heavily embellished Lehenga style saris also go well with slim body type.
- If you have a square body type or a straight torso and lack curves then you must consider wearing pre-stitched sarees. Its even better if you can get it customized so that the saree could be stitched to accentuate your figure.

This is one of the most classic cuts for a choli and you can't go wrong with it. The scoop neck is a deep U-shaped back, which is often cut quite low and is similar on the front of the dress but not as deep.
The back is usually straight or slightly shaped, and supported by thin, delicate straps also called spaghetti straps. To add extra glamour to this style get the straps make of sparkly beads.
The halter neck features straps which join at the back of the neck. This design usually has a very low cut back, so it is best worn without a bra.
As the name suggests, this back consists of thin strips of matching fabric that are used to fasten the top. This is a traditional Indian style many worn in villages which has recently made a comeback.
Wedding Fashion: The Latest Choli and Saree Blouse Styles
With Wedding season in full swing it's time to pull out your traditional party wear or better still shop for the seasons latest styles. With sarees and lehengas being the preferred attire for most women at Indian weddings I thought I'd share the seasons latest Choli/sari blouse designs.
The Indian choli is a short midriff-baring top worn with either sari or lehenga alos called a blouse. It can be quite a versatile garment, which can be adapted to a variety of styles. Since usually the front of the blouse is covered using a dupatta or in the case of a saree the Pallu. So essentially Choli's have elaborate backs which can also be quite revealing and sexy.

Upcoming talented designers are playing 'Santa' and predicting fabulous designs and styles to ensure that you look alluring this New Year's Eve. So take your pick! By Ramya Iyer
Sabbah Sharma predicts a bright New Year
How about welcoming the New Year by donning a bright and cheery coloured dress? Designer Sabbah Sharma who has designed her New Year collection in bright colours says, “Long maxi dresses in bright colors which can be well accessorised will be the trend for New Year’s.” They are vibrant yet have a sassy appeal to them, what more could you ask for?
Sonya Vajifdar vouches for the magic of the drapes
This New Year, Designer Sonya Vajifdar chooses the drapes. She says, “Draping is a boon to Indian women. It accentuates our sexy curves, notching up the oomph factor, hiding certain flaws and giving an optical illusion that makes us appear skinnier. Therefore, I’ve used plenty of drapes, gathering a mix of fabrics like Lycra, georgette and lace.”
Her collection for this New Year consists of well styled dresses, gowns and tops with a colour palette of fashionable black, brown, silver grey, peacock blue, red and purple. Apart from styling, she has added an element of shine with silver tassels placed subtly on some of the pieces. They are all glamorous with not too much going on yet bang-on to welcome the New Year! Click here (http://www.sonyavajifdar.com/aboutus.aspx) to check out what’s she got on offer.
Nachiket Barve urges you to go chic
Designer Nachiket Barve suggests - ‘Follow style, not fashion’ which is apparent in his collection. Layers, jackets with sequined patchwork, cascading dresses, and bright colours, all seem trend-setting fashion rather than trend following fashion. He says, “My fashion prediction for this New Year is about dressing chicly in wardrobe collectibles. Easy beautiful pieces that are classic yet fun, timely yet timeless. It is all about dressing according to your age, body type and personality.” If you get this equation right, well you’re good to go! Check out his collection here (http://www.nachiketbarvedesign.com/html/profile.htm)

Nitya Bajaj swears by the fit
For Designer Nitya Bajaj it’s all about the right fit and style as per the body type for this New Year. She predicts drapes in deeper shades with detailing on the shoulder lifts for the curvy women to contour their body perfectly. For women on the skinnier side, she suggests maxi gowns with ruched tube that flares out from the waist giving a fuller figure impression. While for the women with hour glass figures that we all envy, her prediction is asymmetric pleated dresses in metallic colours. She says, “The asymmetric pleats at the waist as seen in the picture adds detailing while the metallic colours plays the game of shade and light with the sheen of the fabric.”
Kallol Datta decides to split-it up
Designer Kallol Datta votes for the split personality dress for this New Year’s Eve. The tantalizing ruche and the twin fabric would definitely be a hit, he promises. “But remember, the dress is a double fabric dress of taffeta and lace and should be structured at the shoulders with the drape towards the hem as shown in the picture,” he exclaims.
So take time out to gaze into the crystal ball and proffer the forecasts of these young and promising fashion designers for ‘The Perfect Dress’ this New Year’s Eve. It’s all here!
