color help required

i got this new a-line kameez/dress made. it’s black in color, with deep purple karhai done on it. pretty nice and a bit casual stuff. it comes with a dupatta, but not a pajama. i want to get a pajama made with it, but i’m at a loss as to what color to make it.

black i’m thinking would be too much since everything is black. and as far as i can see, the pajamas/culotte (sp?) are usually not int he same color as the top. soo i was thinking that maybe like i could either:

  • get a printed material with those two colors and make a pajama out of it
  • make the pajama out of black, but make the bottom part a solid purple matching the karhai (does that make sense?)
  • or just wear a white pajama?

i dunno what to do. help please!

oh also, i have this other A-line kameez, but originally it came with a chust chunnat pajama. this thing is more formal (lots of golds and karhai on a blue like this). so are the chust pajamas still in? i can’t seem to tell honestly. i’ve seen this

and so it makes me think that maybe my pajama is workable, but i also see a lot of a-lines with wide pajamas, though above the ankle.

so any suggestions?

thanks!

Khumar what color is your dupatta in the first dress you mentioned?

If its black ( I assume) .. then you might try a purple pyjama perhaps .... I have seen that combo and looks awesome ...

your idea of having the black pyjama with purple borders is also a good one .. will do well ..

Re: color help required

the first dress everything's black minus the karhai.

the full purple ppajama sounds good too.

Re: color help required

i like the idea of printed with black white and purple.

Go for deep purple quolots (i prefer quolots better with a-lines). And since u said its casual type dress i wouldnt advice u to really go for an extravagent quolots. If it was formal/party wear i would have suggested u get quolots boders done with black embellishment. But for casual look, just go for plain quolots or u can even try and get them dyed in two colors like coming black to purple.

Re: color help required

I quite like the idea of black with dep purple border. I think your outfit will look classy.

Re: color help required

u can make the bottom of the pants with the printed two colours fabric almost 4-6 inches bottom like having a patch on it all around. with having the base black.

These visuals may help -

the red looks quite striking i think, so i reckon a purple pyjama would look pretty good too

Re: color help required

sazzie: thanks for the visuals! that actually helps a lot hehe. the 3rd pic is what i had in mind with the printed material, but i think it’s the luck of the draw as to what kind of print i get. and the second pic is pretty much what i was thinking of. it actually looks quite cute.

maham: ok can you define what the various classifications of the pajams are? cuz i just call them all pajamas =/ the one i was thinking of were the ones with a flare at the bottom. are those quolottes? what other type of pajamas are there? thing is, i have another top pretty similar to this one, and it came with a flare pajama and it looked weird to me. so i was thinking about maybe going with a straight legged, but flared one. ummm kinda like this one. (pic following) because flare + flare to me sounds like a lot of flares and gives me a weird shape =/ what do you think?

the straight pajamas, but with a top with the shape like the second picture

or this one, but longer

and i can’t get anything dyed :smiley: so that’s why i was thinking about getting a two-toned thing with a different kapra patti at the bottom

shk_14: yeah that’s exactly what i was thinking about

what about white you guys? would white be TOO much? and please narrow it down :bummer: hehe or i’ll just flip a coin :smiley:

Re: color help required

also any help for the second dress? chust pajama or get a new thing sewn =/

Re: color help required

Chust Pyjama in my opinion is always an elegant dress , never fails to get noticed , in a positive way , I would keep the chust pyjama..:cb:

My vote still goes for a plain purple pyjama .. maximum with some purple borders … white will just involve too many colours i think … I have hardly seen purple and white create magic together … :hmmm:

Re: color help required

For the second pic - churidar/chusst pajama all the way. Because the outfit is quite loose from the underbust downwards, something more form-fitting will give the outfit a better balance.

It’ll just look better full stop. I abhor those freakin’ ankle swingers! Get any bottoms apart from those, please!!! They look so ridiculous!!! :nahi:

agreed with Maroush :cb:
