What type of lengha is in fashion in Pakistan these days? Is the mermaid style still hot? I checked out Visage and it doesn’t look like the site has been updated in a while.
Any recommendations on sharara/gharara styles would be appreciated. 
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
who's wedding are you attending Mehnaz ;)
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
My sister's wedding. :p
I got a lengha and I absolutely love it. Now, I just need to figure out how to wear the dupatta cause it's quite huge.
I also will be wearing heels cause it's quite long from the front, I just hope I don't trip up. :(
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
really? wow congratulations! that's awesome! where is it taking place? i want to see pics of lehnga!
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
I want to see a pic!
Put the dupatta down one side and then across the back and over the other arm. Pin it in a couple places. That will look nice.
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
What the woman did in the store was tuck one end into the skirt part and then drape it over the opposite shoulder from the back so that it hung down the front. I really don't like that style cause it just looked really poofy from behind.
I guess I need to see pics of designs Sahar cause I can't imagine what you are describing.
I'll show you pictures in March, after the wedding. :p
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
Oh wow Mehnaz, your sister is getting married!! Congratulations :-)
My sister designed a fishtail lehnga for herself to wear on my mehndi. If you ask me, anything goes. I personally love gharara's.
Mermaid and fishtail are still 'in' in Pakistan. I even saw the bridal versions while was shopping in Lhr.
Oh and Sahar descirbed a good dupatta style, I always take mine like that aswell.
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
congrats ^
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
Is fish tail the same as a mermaid?
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
^ No, fishtail is the kind where there is actually a slight train. Mermaid has the flared shape. They often look similar, tho.
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
thanks sahar- btw doesnt the kapra under the train get dirty ghissing all over the floor?
Re: mermaids? what’s in fashion?
^ Probably. Same issue with furshi ghararas. But I suppose we’re willing to deal with it in the name of fashion 
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
mermaid will probably only look good if someone has small hips, since it is fitted in that area. the fishtail looks good too....you can decide how long or short you want the train to be
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
Hmmm, can someone (Sahar) upload a pic of the dupatta style? I tried it last night and wasn't getting it right, cause it looked pretty silly on me. :(
Acha, I will be dancing it seems at some point in the evening so I need it stylishly put on, but not in the way. The dupatta is quite massive, net, with heavy embroidery along the sides. I think it will be a bit boring if I simply pin it to the side, lekin, if I have no other choice, that is what I will end up doing.
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
i wore like a mermaidy type lengha with a slight tail.. they seem to be in.. my bhabhi wore something similar on her wedding day...
on the walima though, i wore a sharara or a gharara thingy on the walima.. they are always in fashion (ive been told hehe)
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
^ pictures pictures pictures!
(mehnaz, can't find one yet)
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
Sort of like these. Over the shoulder on one arm, and pinned around the wrist on the other arm.
Re: mermaids? what's in fashion?
(mehnaz, can't find one yet)
soon mate!
u know what, everything seems to be in... when i was getting ready (on both the barat and walima days) i saw girls wearing all types of wedding dresses and all different colours... go for what YOU want to wear... dont worry too much about whats in and whats not, at the end of the day, you'll look superb in what you like
Re: mermaids? what’s in fashion?
Sahar, 
, thanks for the pictures! I’m gonna try it out and come back to you if it doesn’t look good for more ideas.
Sadzzz, I missed you.
