I can't wait to see it. It's so you and so funky and elegant at once. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-86171 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:39:50 +0000 RoseandJoan 86171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of wearing the salwar with dark skinny jeans, black high heels and a mens style blazer for a night on the town. I am sure you will find lots of ways to incorporate it into your wardrobe.</p> <p>Lucky you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-86164 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:12:47 +0000 shana 86164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that salwar looks beautiful! I really like the ruffles/texture on the front and I think the neckline will be really flattering on you. I wear some of my salwar tops with jeans - I really like the east meets west look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-86071 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 02:55:09 +0000 Maya 86071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vani and Ruchi: I'm glad I have some validation from my fellows If you have pictures of the jewelry, I'd love to see Vani. I don't generally like to wear Indian jewelry, as it is usually just too heavy for me, but smaller pieces can work out. I'm keen on some bangles but I can get those here. </p> <p>Michelle: It basically looks like a black tunic with side vents, and a shiny embroidered trim going along the neckline, under the bust, and along the hem. The "pants" are basically sort of like woven leggings. They are very fitted and they will be long enough to scrunch at the bottom. It is worn with a scarf or shawl-like piece that is draped across the neck, or sometimes draped over the shoulders so the ends are in the back and the front drapes over the bust to show the embroidery. I don't know how helpful that was but it sure gave me a challenge The model who is posing in the picture is an absolutely gorgeous television actress who is wearing it with heeled sandals, gold earrings, a big cocktail ring, thin gold arm band, and a black snake-textured clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-86063 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 02:15:59 +0000 Vani 86063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I guess I don't I have to tell you how excited I am and cannot wait to see you model this for us. You've made an excellent choice and I am 100% positive you will rock this outfit (I'm so used to calling this a "suit" which is just slang for salwar-kameez in India, but I don't want to confuse anyone here )</p> <p>Call me old fashioned but I'd love to see this styled with some oxidized jewelry. Do ask your aunt if she can scout out a few sets (necklace + earrings) for you. I tried to google some images but I can't seem to find any. I'll see if I have anything I can take pictures of and post here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-86046 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 01:05:13 +0000 Alecia 86046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, that's gorgeous. I can't wait to see the final results, but guess I'm going to have to. How exciting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-86040 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 00:13:50 +0000 Laura 86040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love it! Can't wait to see it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-85970 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:25:41 +0000 April 85970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, that is just stunning. Love it. I was at a traditional Hindu wedding last fall and I found the clothes absolutely breathtaking (and that was only among the guests!) </p> <p>How sweet of your dad. In the meantime, how are you doing at finding jeans for him? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-85959 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 13:35:47 +0000 rute 85959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!!!

So are you getting just the kamez made or a salwar too? And could you describe the design you chose for me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-84895 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 05:33:24 +0000 Anonymous 84895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so lucky!! Beautiful garment, and I hope it fits to a T. Please post a picture when you get it. Thanks for giving us the link to explain the garments. That was great to read. I just love this kind of thing and I can enjoy through you. Your Dad is so nice to do this for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-84887 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 05:12:53 +0000 marianne 84887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fantastic! I hope to see the final results in the not so distant future </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-84873 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 04:32:08 +0000 cciele 84873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

If I were there they would basically sew me into the outfit, but since I'm not there is some guess work involved. I have only had pajamas made before and they fit well, but they were pj's and the definition of "fit" was pretty open. We got some pretty thorough measurements though, and I even sent a dress with him so they could take down the dress measurements as well. I hope it works out (and I don't gain or lose any weight by the time I finally get it :p).</p> <p>I'm hoping I can maybe wear the top as a tunic with skinnies, but it might be too sparkly for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-84856 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 03:13:21 +0000 anne 84856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks wonderful Maya, and just right for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-84851 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 03:01:41 +0000 Debora 84851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How beautiful, Maya, and what a lovely design! Thanks for sharing the explanation. Is the anticipation killing you? It looks like it will be well worth waiting for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/global-challenge-in-progress#post-84848 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 02:15:04 +0000 Maya 84848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dad is in India now, and is having an outfit made for me. I don't wear Indian clothes much since I have no occasion, but when I saw this I loved it. Best of all, it will be custom tailored just for me. I wrote down my measurements, enclosed a picture, and that's that! My dad isn't very fabric-savvy so my aunt will be accompanying him to help choose fabrics and I trust her judgment totally.</p> <p>I know India is known for color and glitz, but the lack of color and use of texture is actually what drew me to this design.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mastione.com/wp-content/gallery/new-talent/fixthumb/new-talent-84-mastione.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.mastione.com/wp-con.....stione.jpg</a></p> <p>Close-up:</p> <p><a href="http://www.mastione.com/wp-content/gallery/new-talent/fixthumb/new-talent-95-mastione.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.mastione.com/wp-con.....stione.jpg</a></p> <p>I probably will not be getting it for a long time, as it won't be finished by the time my dad leaves. My relatives will probably hang on to it until my mom's next visit. That means no pictures for a long time But as soon as I get some, I'll post. </p> <p>This blog does a good job of explaining things better than I ever could. Nice visuals too.</p> <p><a href="http://blog.handmadeinindia.org/search/label/Churidar%20Salwar%20Kameez" rel="nofollow">http://blog.handmadeinindia.or.....r%20Kameez</a> </p>
