blogger

Saree is indeed one of the most elegant wear for women. Not only saree draping is an art but also its shopping needs a special care. In order to buy a perfect saree for a particular occasion or just like that, one should keep in mind the following important things.

Weather
If you are too picky about weather then follow these basic rules:

Pure silk are best for winters.
Cotton saree will help you feel fresh during summer.
Synthetic saree are good for rainy seasons for the simple reason they tend to dry fast.

Occasion
All women have a good sense of styling. Still saree can be categorized as per occasion too

Heavy embroidered and designer sarees are best suited for weddings, semi-formal occasions or celebrations.
Less embroidered can be chosen for parties and other celebrations.
For casual occasions sober sarees should be bought.

Designs & Patterns
There is however no hard and fast rule to select saree as per design and pattern. All sarees look good on every woman if worn properly. And one should always go for ones choice. Whatever one feels good in.

Georgette, chiffon and silk sarees can be opted to look slimmer.
Cotton, tissue and tussar fabrics can help thinner women to look a bit fuller.
Big borders can help taller women to conceal some inches.
While thin borders or no borders can add some inches to your height.

Color
The above rule applies here too. Always go with your heart. Truth is there is no limit to experimenting, if you have a favorite color or may be know your loved ones favorite then go for it. Still the following are the basic rules:

Dark skin women should go for dark colors.
For the fairer complexion you have the range from pastel to brighter shades.

Finishing up the Saree

The bottom edge of the saree needs an additional inside border stitched called fall. This should match the base color of the saree. It will keep your saree in shape once you have draped it and also prevent it from getting damaged.
If saree ends are unfinished they need to finely stitched known as pico or edging to give it a perfect finish.

Matching Petticoat and Blouse
Saree is worn with matching petticoat (inner skirt worn below the saree) and blouse (upper garment). The following things should be kept in mind about them

The petticoat should ideally be of the same base color as of the saree.
Rich net sarees mostly comes with matching shimmer petticoat fabric.
If the blouse is to be cut from saree it shouldnt affect saree width.
Their fitting is also very important. So if you are buying them online read the instructions of taking measurements to get them stitched carefully.
Also look for the customization of blouse and petticoat if you are buying saree online. Also dont go by just with the image of blouse shown there on site. Clarify whether you will get the exact design or not.

Innovative and Designer Sarees
The innovative saris (lehenga pattern, ready pleats etc.) differ only in pattern and design from the usual sari that we come across. If you are not sure about draping the sari then these are the saris for you. They are easy to drape and manage whilst looking gorgeous and elegant. Clarify your all queries e.g. how to wear them before you buy such sarees.

Online Buying
Now if you are buying a sari online for the first time consider the following points too:

As a buyer you should look for maximum information available about the sari (colour, combination, pattern, embroidery, length, material) or simply ask for them using live support, mail etc.
Look for enlarged images of the saree which gives an understanding of the material.
Consider the customization, shipping, postage and packing costs to determine the right price.
A secure way of paying should be there.
Check privacy statement.
Make sure you know the traders full address.
Read the refund and return policies.
You should be sure that the store has refunds or exchange option in case you didnt like the saree or any of its customizations after the delivery.

Check Your Saree Thoroughly Once Its Delivered to You
To avoid any kind of issue make sure you check the following things in your saree as soon as you get it delivered so that you can ask for alteration or refund. However most of them applies equally when you buy saree from a local store.

Always ensure yourself about the optimum length of a saree. Shorter sarees can not make enough pleats (min 5-7) which in turn do not grant the so much appreciated grace of a saree. The average length of a sari is 5.5 m, and its width is approximately 1.5 m. (Note: Some designer sarees like lehenga pattern use to be short as they dont require pleats)
If you are very tall, check that if its enough wider.
If you are going to get the blouse stitched by yourself and have bought a saree that contains extra cloth for making a blouse, always ensure to measure the sarees length after deducting at least one meter cloth from it.
When buying embroidered sarees, see there are no broken threads in between.
Check fall and pico are in place.
Ensure flitting of blouse and petticoat.

A Short Story By William Shakespeare.

blogger

A Royal wedding was to be held in the city of Athens between Hippolyta and the Duke of Athens, Theseus. This was to take place in four days time on the first of May.

During their talks about the wedding, Duke Egeus arrives and tells them that he is unhappy about the situation of his daughter not marrying Demetreus, even though he has given his blessing. Hermia has fallen in love with another person, and does not want to marry Demetrius.

Lysander is in love with this other person. Egeus is sure that with all the presents and kind words Lysander has won her over. The Duke comes and points out to Hermia, that it is a law in Athens not to go against a father’s wishes, and that if she refuses to marry Demetrius she will either be condemned to death or will spend the rest of her as a nun in the convent.

The Duke gives Hermia 4 days to decide what she is going to do.

Just outside Athens lies Lysander’s Aunt’s house, and both Hermia and Lysander decide to hide there. Helena is Hermia’s best school friend, so they decide to explain the situation, but Helena does not do as they ask.

She disobeys them, because she is in love with Demetrius and at one time Demetrius was in love with her. Helena tells Demetrius that both Hermia and Lysander are going to run away, hoping that he will be nice with her.

Now Demetrius is going to follow Lysander and Hermia into the woods and Helena decides to follow Demetrius.

Meanwhile some ordinary folk in Athens decide to put on a play for The Duke and his bride. Quince, Bottom, Flute, Snug and Snout are but everday people, and they have no knowledge of playwrighting or acting.

These men can not agree on who should play what so they decide to meet at moonlight in the Woods.

Now inside these same Woods that the men are meeting and that Lysander and Hermia are going to run away, the King and Queen fairies are to be found. They have come here in honour of the wedding.

Oberon and Titania were arguing about a young Indian boy, and one of Oberon’s servants hears them. They both want the Indian boy to work for them.

Oberon plays a trick on Titania by placing magic flower juice over her eyelids so that she will fall in love with the first thing she sees when she awakens.

Demetrius enters the woods in search of Hermia and Lysander, but he is angry that he is followed by the forelorn, Helena. Oberon overhears the conversation between Demetrius and Helena. He feels sorry for Helena and decides to have Puck place the magic flower juice on Demetrius.

He hopes that Demetreus will fall in love with Helena. Puck mistakenly puts the magic flower on Lysander instead of Demetrius. It is nightfall. Both of them, Lysander and Hermia fall into a deep slumber. Helena finds Lysander in the woods and awakens him. Lysander and Helena go off together, now in love.

All the tradesmen meet in the woods. Bottom’s head is turned into the head of an ass by the naughty Puck.

Embarrassed and frightened by his friends, Bottom runs away accidently waking up Titania. Titania then falls in love with Bottom, who has an ass-head. Demetrius finds Hermia in the woods and they fall in love.

In the end, the magic potion wears off. All is back to normal, Hermia and Lysander get married as well as Helena and Demetrius.

Wedding Shirts And Indian Salwar Kameez To Dress Up For A Special Occasion

blogger

We live in a country where weddings are larger than life; and to dress impeccably for a wedding is expected out of both men and women. This is why some exclusive wedding shirts and Indian salwar kameez must be a part of your wardrobe. We help you choose the right one, based on your needs.

Wedding shirts for men:
Wedding shirts are very important attire in any mans wardrobe. Whether you are a groom looking for wedding shirts to go inside your suits or are the grooms brother or best friend, your outfit will make a stark difference to the wedding reception and the pictures captured will serve as memories you cherish forever. Hence, picking the right wedding shirts is important, and special care must be given to the colour, cut and detailing.

If it is a church wedding it is much easier because you cannot go wrong with the standard tuxedo wedding shirts. These are stylish tailor made wedding shirts which are fixed with cuff links and collar studs. These wedding shirts make sure that you stand equal to the bride who will be in her lovely gown. Grooms wearing custom dress wedding shirts with embroidery or custom accent have become the fashion nowadays. There can be various accents like the plain interior cuff and custom made plackets, collars or cuffs on wedding shirts.

For functions prior to the wedding like the Mehendi or a pooja, you do not have to necessarily wear a tuxedo shirt. A plain neutral or light coloured shirt with broad collars for a cravat or a tie makes good formal wedding shirts. You can also think of stylish shirt accents with side pleats and French cuffs as wedding shirts.

Try and avoid wearing shirts with textured materials or pin stripes as wedding shirts. When weddings are held during summer wedding shirts made of linen can be used. Whatever the fabric you are using for your wedding shirts, it has to look fashionable and classy.

Indian salwar kameez for women:
While many women do prefer sarees, salwar kameez are far more common for special occasions. The Indian Salwar Kameez has become the most favoured costume among the numerous costumes available in India, and it is not uncommon to see foreigners sporting smart Indian salwar kameez designs these days too. Traditionally it is supposed to have started its journey from the Indian state of Punjab. Now the Indian Salwar Kameez comes in different variations and styles and it has become an integral part of the wardrobe of any woman.

Churidar Kameez is the most favourite variation of the Indian Salwar Kameez. It is almost like the Indian Salwar Kameez but the difference is that the woman wears a churidar instead of the normal pajama. Churidar is the slimmer version of the salwar giving more emphasize to the ankles and knees and has a slimming effect. Kurta or Kurti Kameez is the other variation which is very famous among the youngsters now. Kurti or Kurti means a shorter kameez and women prefer to wear these Indian salwar kameez without the dupatta (the cloth used to cover the bosom). Many well-known brands are coming out with this kind of Indian Salwar Kameez because of its demand.

Birdcage Veils – Vintage Wedding Veils For Modern Style

blogger

Birdcage veils offer a unique vintage sense of style. Birdcage veils are often worn by brides who simply want a look that isn’t totally ordinary. Cage veils also look great when worn by the bridesmaids, and they come in all different style variations and colors.

Birdcage veils, or cage blusher veils, were a popular style of veil worn by women either as a standalone accessory or as a part of a hat, dating back to the earlier decades in the 1900s. Now, modern women have a new appreciation for vintage style, so birdcage veils are extremely popular for brides and even for every day wear.

Birdcage veils may be worn with any style of wedding gown, but are very popular when accessorizing a vintage inspired gown, such as a bias cut halter gown, or any other simple and elegant style, such as a fitted gown with a mermaid skirt, or an informal wedding gown.

Birdcage veil hairstyles look best when there isn’t a lot of hair in the front, because it can get in the way of the netting. As such, up-dos, low chignons, and vintage hairstyles from the 30s and 40s like pin curls or a Gibson roll hairstyle will work well. Just think sleek, simple, classic hair that doesn’t compete with the veil which will already bring lots of attention to your eyes. If you have bangs, you may want to wear a fuller birdcage veil that frames the face without messing up your hair. You may wear your hair long and loose with a birdcage veil, as well.

Birdcage veils come in several different lengths and styles. To choose the right look, decide where you want the veil edge line to fall across your face.Shorter birdcage veils may cover one or both eyes and be worn either straight or at an angle, and longer cage blusher veils can cover the entire face. Pouf veils are birdcage veils made with more veiling so they frame the head or face, and forehead birdcage veils give a flapper girl style of appearance. Most modern designers of birdcage veils can custom fit any veil to the style you choose.

Whichever style you choose to wear, you will certainly feel like a movie star in your birdcage veil.
