Long, Contemporary Flares

BY RANI SHARMA

They are beautiful creations, crafted out of 30 meters of soft, flowing chiffons and georgettes. But here’s the catch. They only look good on tall women, ideally in the 30-60-age range, with a great posture and poise. It is all about the personality here!



These exotic designs are created keeping in mind Indian tradition and contemporary style. Each piece is hand crafted in boutique style and with utmost love and care.

Long flared dresses are really long, at 52-inches length, with the flares measuring up to 300-inches! They are cut in three ways – yoke with flares, with panels or with kalis. Pair this magnificent creation with pencil capris, straight pants or churidars. The dress has a heavy base of velvet or banarasi to give it the right, elegant fall.



Each suit has three to four colors. The base chiffon or georgette is combined with banarasi borders, metallic laces, velvet trim and breeds. The pants and scarves are usually of a different color.

The hot colors for 2012 are- black, green, magenta, purple and peach orange. Shading within a family of colors is in.



Jewelry: No emphasis on jewelry. Long earrings and a big finger ring are all you need. Batuas (silk purses) are in. 
Shoes: Pencil high heels.
Makeup: Bright makeup with hair let loose.
