Re: Bridal dress dilemma - Which one???
Chanda - From what I saw, the peach coloured shade of the shirt in the outfit is not as bright/flourescent in real life. I've got a feeling it could off set the magenta colour in a good way hopefully. It just seems to come across really bright in the picture...
Do you still prefer the idea of the large green border beneath the gote of the gharara?
^ If you're going to switch to an emerald, I'd definitely limit the amount of green fabric to accents...if you make an entire border out of it, I feel like it might overwhelm the pastels in the rest of the outfit.
I think part of the decision depends on how tall your bhaabi is. Several different contrasting colors in layers make you look short...so if she's less than 5'5"-5'6" I'd stay away from the broad green border, and bring the hemline of the shirt up several inches (at least so it hits at the top of the knee). If she's tall, your options are open. Personally, I think it would look better if green was just an accent though.
I have to say, I'm also not a fan of the Umar Sayeed. I like the skirt, but the top is too shiny for my taste.
