Re: BRIDAL PICS.
wow! that is some outfit... its a ball gown basically! beautiful!
That's actually exactly what they're supposed to look like.
Back in the early 1800's, as British influence began increasing in India, people in Lucknow began dressing in clothes modeled on contemporary English fashion...it was probably the first ever attempt at Indo-Western fusion attire. Women began to start wearing long flowing pants that resembled the full, flowing dresses worn by British women (which became known as farshi payjamas)...while men started wearing slim fitting, button front, knee length jackets over straight cut payjamas in imitation of the frock coats worn by British men at the time (and so the shervani was born).
