Re: Need tips on bride’s sister’s outfit
Thanks SCG! :k:
Good point on the sleeveless. Although up until now, she has never worn anything sleeveless (to my knowledge)…I will mention it to her and see if she’d be willing to at least consider it. 
Re: Need tips on bride's sister's outfit
Saris can actually really compliment chubbier girls. I would reconsider Them, particularly in a flowey fabric.
Or do one of these long, flows a-lines.
Re: Need tips on bride's sister's outfit
I have clients who are a lot healthier than ur sister so I always go for these options for them :
-- Long, A- Line along with avery good fitting (till hips) not very flowy Chiffon Shirt( but not ghair one frock)
--long, fitted sleeves; Because chiffon is a very soft, flowy and thin textured material that falls beautifully on the body . Long fitted sleeves hide the flaby arms and make them appear thin and long (don't go for churidaar/gathered sleeves ) A line style is good for a pear shape body and makes ones appearance tall n slim.

A sister is for life, not just your wedding day.
Re: Need tips on bride's sister's outfit
^ she's just trying to present options for her sis when they go shopping- something that will make her (the sis, not paheli) feel fabulous at the wedding. maybe the original request wasn't worded very diplomatically but i don't think she meant she doesnt love her sister or that she'd be embarassed if she showed up in the "wrong" thing.
Re: Need tips on bride’s sister’s outfit
I agree with the everyone else… A flowy A-line dress would really compliment her body type.
Here are some visuals that may help you in deciding:
Both Rani and Vidya are short and on the chubbier side… But look at how great they look in the A-line dresses.
Also, as Sahar02 suggested… I don’t think you should completely drop the idea of getting her to wear a sari. (Also, you might want to look into flowy maxi dresses as well.
Re: Need tips on bride's sister's outfit
Sahar: Thanks! I'll def. mention saris to her but I'd be surpised if she agrees to it. Also to consider...since she's not used to wearing a sari (She has never worn a sari in her life).....Its hard for me to believe she would be comfortable moving around in one on that. I rarely wear saris but when I do....I know I myself am not 100% comfy. simply b/c I'm not used to it. But I'll def. mention this to her as an option. :)
Panache: Looks like A-Line is a popular choice! Will def. have her try it on. Hopefully we'll see a few outfits with the long sleeves like your described. Thanks! :)
SCG: I appreciate the kind words. :)
Afsoon: Ooohh....I like visuals! :) I'll send these to her and see what she thinks.
Re: Need tips on bride's sister's outfit
I agree with most people on here that you should go for an A-line design :) also I think I would make sure that there is no belt-type thing below the chest area because sometimes it could create gathers around the stomach area and create extra volume from the side (makes it seem you have a bulging stomach). You could also try something that has kaliyaan in it. Like a long type gown. Or have an open front long kameez. Something that is buttoned up to the stomach area and then opens up all flowly to the ground. A lengha would be a good choice as well and maybe you could pair it with an A-line type long kameez :) Consider the fabric as well. Some fabrics puff up and add extra volume whereas some flow very nicely. Fitting is a key too as someone mentioned. Im not that into all the fashion trends but hope this helps! Good luck and I'm sure your sister will feel beautiful in whatever she wears :)
Re: Need tips on bride's sister's outfit
i'd never invite my fat and ugly sibling to my wedding let alone buying her clothes and stuff...that'd ruin the whole scene and pics and stuff you know.
Re: Need tips on bride’s sister’s outfit
With THIS kind of ugly idea, you hardly will come across someone who will agree to get married to you and hence, you will never need to invite you any kind of family/siblings to your wedding since it wont happen ofcourse. So please dont waste time thinking about this topic :halo: aisa mauqa ayega tau hai naa
Re: Need tips on bride’s sister’s outfit
^ This!
Seriously 
Why is everyone getting on her case? Do you guys even bother thinking before typing up lectures here! :halo: She is “her” sister and she is asking advice on her clothes which does mean she is concerned and wants her to look her best.
Re: Need tips on bride's sister's outfit
Okay, i think body consciousness can happen to anyone, no matter what their body type. I have four sisters, we are all completely different from each other, and I think each of us has our own demons when it comes to our figures. I agree that any woman of any figure can look beautiful in the right outfit, with the right attitude. But sometimes, especially for a younger woman, that confidence and attitude haven't developed yet! I think it's completely relevant that paheli mentioned that her sister is self-conscious, because what she's trying to say is, even though she may feel her sister is beautiful and can rock anything she wants, to her sister is not in the right place in her life to learn that right now. So, rather than forcing her to wear something that looks beautiful on, but just does FEEL comfortable to her, she wants to choose something right for her figure, and right for her personality. As for mentioning her height and weight. Their are probably thousands of girls of that size in the states, it's not like you're gonna walk out on the street and see some girl and say, that must be paheli's sister. She mentioned it here so we could help her pick an outfit.
And now we return to our regularly scheduled programming.
Paheli, she might look nice in chiffon, but I find that for curvy girls, they tend to make us feel a little like all the lady bits are on display. A more structure fabric like a stiff silk banarasee may feel more comfortable, cause then everything's not hanging out, so to speak.
The length of her kameez should hit EXACTLY at the narrowest part of her calf. Make sure the darzi doesn't make any mistakes about that.
I think an important point is the hair and makeup, you are giving her a lovely treat, and hopefuly your MU and hairstylist will be able to give her a really good look that will make her feel pretty.
