Ghararas -- Classic but Elegant

Lifestyle Wedding, Fashion & Beauty

I’ve always loved ghararas…they remind of an era that exuded elegance and class…innocence and romance…

Thinking about purchasing one for a wedding coming up but want to have something that is not stiff…something that flows.

Pictures will be appreciated…

If there is a pre-existing thread, please merge.

Jamavar is what you need, not chiffon.
Also I agree- LOVE love love ghararas!

Velvet if the weather allows, in jewel tones with antique looking gota will make a lovely gharara.

I had a 60 gm raw silk one with a great fall. Satin and shamoos ghararas will flow like anything.

My mom has her kamkhwab ka gharara - I just love love love it.

Its the prettiest rust/brown/brick color and I plan on making dull gold shirt and dupatta out of chiffon jamawar to wear with it.

I have a hot pink kamkhaab ka gharara too......I should make a new shirt with that and put it to use.
Also have a plain, ivory satin one that could use a jazzed up new shirt.....maybe in lace.....what do you guys think?

Re: Ghararas -- Classic but Elegant

the pink one sounds fab! :)

for the ivory, lace sounds sexy! what about a chiffon top with delicate embroidery or work on it to go with the satin bottom?

Re: Ghararas -- Classic but Elegant

for my mehndi i had a gharara made from silk - we kept the gota (i think thats what the bit where the pleats start) quite wide to keep a traditional wide gharara look and it worked very well - very easy to wear, flowy and still achieved the traditional look - would be a good fabric to wear as a guest too i think.

Will see if i can dig up pics of the one i was inspired by or i can PM you pics of mine if you're interested!

My mom’s is beige too and I think it is kamkhawab or brocade..ok I don’t know for sure because I am not good with fabric types..it’s beige, golden with shades of green, light blue and pruple. I’m trying to post picture here but can’t. :bummer: Help anyone?
