Question

Help! I don't know anything about Indian clothes. What are they and where can I find them?

Answer

First of all, Indian clothes are absolutely not required for the mehendi party. We love you just as you are - no special outfits required. However, if it would bring you joy to wear Indian clothes, let us give you an introduction. Women generally wear one of the following items. Lehenga: a three-piece ensemble for women that consists of a blouse, a skirt and a dupatta (which is similar to a scarf or shawl). Sari: a garment that is made from a single unstitched piece of fabric, which drapes around the entire body. It can be worn a number of different ways based on the wearer's preference. Salwar Kameez: also known as a Punjabi Suit, it consists of three pieces: A tunic, trousers and a dupatta. Men generally wear one of the following items. Kurta Pyjama: a loose-fitting tunic top that is paired with matching trousers. The ensemble may also include a coordinating vest. Sherwani: a long button-down coat that often features some form of embroidery or embellishment as decoration. Worn with matching trousers. In the Chicagoland area, there are many Indian clothing shops in the Indian neighborhood on Devon Avenue. Alternately, there are several online stores that do a great job and can make clothes to measure: https://www.kalkifashion.com/ https://www.lashkaraa.com/ https://www.andaazfashion.com/ Above all, be comfortable and enjoy yourself! We'll have a great time together, no matter what you decide to wear.
