Hey gals, I was wondering if you like this style that has come out recently in India, I have seen many celebrities sporting them on tv shows and in events as well. I like the trendier ones that i will post. Tell me what you think =) my friend has gone to india this week and i want her to send me something like it, i really hope she finds it!! =)

Re: Anarkali Dresses

arjun and dino look like they are wearing clothes made out of bedsheet or curtain material :cb:

the dresses pretty much look like they have empress waists, with a mix of double galas thrown in.

this style is sorta in pakistan. the umm long-overcoat style thingamajig. maybe it has a better name =/

i like the texture and cloth they are using though. very luxuriant. i hope kaliyon wali kameezain/dresses come back soon. i have a killer kameez i wanna wear :bummer:

Re: Anarkali Dresses

i think arjun is pretty hot =p he makes my day happy =) yea i know the coat style was in maybe 2 monthes ago now i see this dress stuff becoming popular. Its beggining to look more trendy and wearable not to umrao jaan'ish. I love the colors and materials they are pretty hot!

Re: Anarkali Dresses

super nice!

but the other style methinks is for girls with smaller chests… i don’t think it would look very decent or flattering on me, even though i really like it! :confused:

Re: Anarkali Dresses

Good stuff but i dont think i could wear it itss too anarkali for me hehe...

Re: Anarkali Dresses

haha i thot u meant dresses from anarkali (lahore)!

Re: Anarkali Dresses

Those are just dresses with empire waists. Nowadays (they were popular in Europe in the 1800's), they're pretty much solely for women who are pregnant or very thin.

It looks a lot like a pathan type of shalwar kameez. I'm sure you could find something easily like it.

Re: Anarkali Dresses

in late 70's that dress was called midi..

Re: Anarkali Dresses

haha i did too :p

Re: Anarkali Dresses

I recently saw Bipasha Basu on some show wearing this GORGEOUS dark pink and gold colored anarkali shirt with chooridars.. oh my god, I have never really liked churidars so much but her dress was stunninggg and so elegant. I'll post pics when I find some. Then again on the same show, Madhuri wore a similar style but in different colors. Seems like they have hit the Indian fashion scene big time.

Re: Anarkali Dresses

ok i’m so in love with this dress

is this also called anarkali?? and can regular darzi’s in pakistan make this??

Re: Anarkali Dresses


yeah, like not another "anarkali is paindu,e www!" thread :p

Re: Anarkali Dresses

that is gorgeous, sabriya! and for sure they could, but i like my churidar’s with a bit more gher at the bottom… this one looks like really pretty embellished tights :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Anarkali Dresses

I think one needs good long legs for this type of kameez/dress

Re: Anarkali Dresses

speaking of which, are kameezes really this long now?
im making all of mine knee length...

Re: Anarkali Dresses

kameezain aren’t this length. it’s a special typa dress that’s supposed to be like almost calf lenght. kameezain are a bit knee lenghtish. i can’t remember what lenght my new kameezain are anymore :blush:

Re: Anarkali Dresses

Is it a churidaar pajama or are they capri pants? :confused: I couldnt tell from the pic, wish it was full length. Either way, its perfectttt I want it so bad! :slight_smile:

Re: Anarkali Dresses

the style in these days with the gown typa shirt is straight-legged pants. not exactly capris, not exactly tight/chooridar pajama

my cousin wore it, except i don’t have a pic of her standing in it. just sitting pics :bummer:

Re: Anarkali Dresses

i thought the same until i read your post :hehe:
i was like …Wow!! anarkali main itne ache dressesss

Re: Anarkali Dresses

does anybody have pics of those churidaar outfits with super long dupatta-I think they call em a pashwaas? (spelling?) but it's like they use to wear it in the Mughal time-and some wear in on weddings...any pics? please
