Hi all, Could you please give me some ideas on what colors or styles of shalwar kameez would suit a Bengali aunty ( around 55 years young). She’s quite tall about 1.6m, not fat, and has that dark bengali skin. She wants me to make some clothes for her when i come to Pakistan, and i have no idea what would suit her.
Pics would be a great help. Thanx
Just the classic shalwar kameez.. no long shirts, anarkali's etc. Colors that look great of 'desi' complexions are olive, cream, saffron, most shades of blue and grey.
