Hello you all,
I dont know how it took me so long to find this tribe! I have been in love with Indian clothes and the culture in general for as long as I can remember.
I have never bought any Indian clothes for myself though. I guess I was never sure if an non-Indian should wear those beautiful clothes. Kind of silly to think that though...so, I have been reading through some of your posts and was wondering if you all could give me some advice? ;)
I would like to start out with a Salwar Kameez...perhaps a shorter style? I have a baby at home and therefore would like one that is more *practical*. Say, in cotton or a fabric that can easily be worn during the daytime, even with jeans sometimes.
I am 5-3 in and probably around 115 lbs (52kg) or close to that. I want to keep in mind that I have a bit of *baby* weight to lose still so nothing too fitted just yet but still in a flattering cut.
Any suggestions, you guys?
Many thanks!

Re: Help me buy my first Salwar Kameez??
Wed, July 13, 2005 - 5:28 PMajay can cutom fit things for you. You will probbaly want what he has listed on his site as a parallel style salwar kameez. All salwar that I have seen have a draw string waist, so that will come in handy when you get to you pre-beby weight and any fluctuations afterwards. If you want to be able to wear the Kamessz with jeans I would sugest something in a cotton or cotton blend so you can was and wear and it wouldn't look out of place if you wore it to the market or anything.
I hope that helps!

Wed, July 13, 2005 - 11:36 PMI m totally agree with Nina.. short cut kameez with parallel salwar.. with draw string .. with cotton blend with thread embroidery.. it will easy to care and wash.. and even you loosing weight its will still fits you.. the short kammez can also worn with salwar.. and parallel is closer fashion to american clothing so it could be worn as party wear.. its will comfortable while u have deals with baby...
