Is a floor length Anarkali - the Indian ball gown?

Have you ever dreamt of wearing a ball gown?

As a teenager or a young woman who has tuned into the western fashion scene, or someone who watches Hollywood movies, you must have admired those exquisite party robes and beautiful prom dresses.

The modern ball gown gets its inspiration from vintage charm, elegance and grace of bulkier outfits worn in Regency and Victorian England.

These outfits are not quite appropriate in the Indian context. Disappointing indeed, but don’t chuck away the idea of owning a gown just yet.

Do you avoid wearing a western gown to the average wedding or corporate event, unless there is a specific dress code? You can always find a suitable Indian alternative for that ball gown feel - Floor length and trendy Anarkali.

The best part about wearing them - you don’t need a perfect or hour-glass figure to carry off these outfits, unlike the western gown. Go easy on jewelry as the outfit garners all the attention. Add signature earrings or bracelets and you’re good to go.

Anarkali suits continue to rock the popularity charts and have transformed into chic and fashionable ensemble. With modern silhouettes and gown-like layering, this ethnic wear mimics classic western outfits in many ways.
