New kameez for old sharara

Hey everyone, returing here after ages.
finally my brother is getting married this year, Insh’Allah, and my mom had this super crazy idea to wear her wedding’s sharara at his mehndi. Considering how simple my mom is i was so surprised and and equally happy for this.
She got married in the 1980 and do u know in that time there was the fashion of these beautiful multi colored shararas, i don’t remember exactly how they r called!
So girls now i need ur help, can u plz post the photos of old sharars combined with the modern kameez…i remember few years ago there were some photos but now i can not find them..so plz help me!!

Re: New kameez for old sharara

I am assuming you are talking about gharara and not sharara :) If you can post pictures, the suggestions will be more relevant. My mom's bridal was probably similar. A multicolored banarsi gharara and if I had to make a shirt with it now, it will be pure chamois silk with some pattern copied from gharara and made as shirt border, neckline and sleeves border with embroidery. No pictures because I haven't gotten a shirt made with it yet.

Re: New kameez for old sharara

I would say plain silk or shafon long shirt will work considering at tht time the gharas were so bright all tht glittering gold nad can take duppata wth bit kam on the corners and spray on whole duppata.

New kameez for old sharara

I wore my moms old wedding gharara on my chauti and just had a new 'modern' shirt made on it. The olden day shirts were completely plain silk (if it's anything like my moms) so I just had a new chiffon shirt made with lots of Kaam in colors to match the bottoms and dupatta. It was also in the longer style like how ghararas are being worn today. Dupatta had a thick kiran border so I set it like this girl did above but wasn't wearing the dupatta the whole time anyway. Have never been a fan of the thick tissue dupattas but it still looked nice while it stayed in place.
