Phulkari Salwar Suits And Kameez Designs 2014
An Indian salwar kameez is a three-piece dress, with a shirt called the kameez, a pleated trouser called a salwar that is worn with a stole or dupatta to complete the look. This beautiful outfit has its origins in Punjab, India and hence is also referred as Punjabi suit. A good salwar is pleated and the more the pleats the prettier it looks. A summer salwar kameez could be pure cotton or khadi which are breathable fabrics. Both these materials have their own charm and are very distinct from each other. Materials like georgette, crepe, silk, synthetic or mix fabrics are a big no because each of these would make you feel warm.
The salwar is gathered at the waist and is held by a drawstring. With the change in fashion trends, the pants are designed to be wide, baggy or narrow. Other variations include patiala salwar (with more pleats), churidhar (salwar with pleats surrounding the ankle) or parallels (wide pants). For summers a lady could go with a Patiala suit, churidhar kurta or designer salwar kameez.An Indian salwar kameez could have thread embroidery, badla work, bandhej work (tie-and-dye) or phulkari patterns. These suits could be either readymade or tailor-made. These days semi stitched suits are also available that have patterns like readymade salwar kameezes yet can give the fit of a made-to-order dress.
