Re: Dresssing For unmarried girls
These days unmarried girls who are close to the bride/groom get pretty dressed up. Heck, even some guests who are not close get dressed up! You should look like the sister of the bride. Get something special, but maybe keep the jewelry and/or hair simple, so as not to look too old or done up.
Re: Dresssing For unmarried girls
If you are going for a heavy dress then go for simple make up and jewellery, for the reasons Sahar has already suggested. However, it is your sister's wedding so you can push the boat out.
If it's a gift from your father why not make him proud and wear it, with the set. I mean you're the bride's sister and family members should look their best. How often do you ever hear people say something about a family member being over dressed, I've heard people whine about how sisters aren't dressed up enough and I myself once said that at a friend's wedding. You should wear something that will photograph nicely a celebrate the day with you and your family looking your best and greeting all the guests that have come to share in the happy occasion. Just make sure you are comfy and confident.
Re: Dresssing For unmarried girls
I think you should wear the dress, since your dad gifted it you, but stay far away from the jewellery.
Since I am also not married, at my sisters wedding I had a very heavy dress on, but as far as jewellery, I only wore earrings and one karah.
Usually less is more classy(in this sense:))!
Re: Dresssing For unmarried girls
its ur sisters wedding, wear whatever u like as heavy as it may be! dulhan ki bhen ho, so u should look different from all the guests!
Re: Dresssing For unmarried girls
Wear what ever you like,,, its ur sister's wedding... And esp if ur father gave you the dress n jewellery....he'll b really happy, when you'll wear it.
And obviously ur gonna carry it, in ur own way... won't make u look married or anything.
And im sure ur family/friends/guests wud know that ur unmarried... Hope u enjoy the wedding :)
Re: Dresssing For unmarried girls
WHY should only married girls get to wear heavy suits? Honestly, I don't understand this messed up paki mentality. Wear what you want when you want...however heavy or light it is.
Re: Dresssing For unmarried girls
oooohhh of course u can get dressed up darling.....i myself am going to physically dress my sister and close cousins in pretty clothes for my wedding...i want everyone to know thats the girls from the brides family and NOT jst guests. As long as its no OTT (over the top) and ur not upstaging the bride (ur sister) lolz u shud be fine :) and yes keep ur make up simple and defo wear the gold set, i always do on weddings and im not married yet!!!

heh. i acutally used to wear lenghas/heavy zevar before i was married... since i got married i've really gotten low-key.
Re: Dresssing For unmarried girls
well paki mentality is that if you overdress b4 ur married you won't look nice after you get married and have to dress up i guess.
i think as long as you wear light jewelry u'll be fine

If your Father gifted it to you to wear on your sister's wedding - then don't hesistate to wear it!
Of course you can wear white-gold set - wear what you want and don't worry what other people will think! If you personally feel the 'look' will be too heavy on you or will make you look older, then wear the outfit your Dad gave you with lighter jewellery or just wear the ear-rings from the white-gold set.
Wear your hair out or get light, thick curls put in. Wear simple make-up and you will look great Inshallah.
Re: Dresssing For unmarried girls
i don't think there is anything WRONG with paki mentality. I believe it is more of the trend thingy. 10-15 years ago it was the trend that unmarried ones got to wear light formal dresses as compared to the married ones. Now that trend is gone and you can't really tell by outfit what's for married and what's for unamarried... they are dressing up pretty much the same.
Same goes for jewelery and makeup.... today very dark makeup shades and very heavy jewelery will look odd on anyone except the bride. More than a decade ago married ones used to do bana-o-singhar almost like the brides.
Go with whatever you think will look best on you.
THIS IS THE DRESS WHICH MY FATHER GAVE TO MEE
THE DUPPATTA
THE WORK OF SHIRT
Re: Dresssing For unmarried girls
^ Its loevly and very sweet of your Father. :)
Again, you can go easy on the make-up and have your hair out so you don't feel like you are over doing it.
