Re: Anarkali Dresses
i had a khara dupatta made when i was younger for my phuppo's wedding and a hyderabadi aunt of mine oversaw the pinning of the dupatta and i just remember the dupatta being really, really, really long, and then it had to be pinned in a particular style.
im confused though- are angarkha and khara dupatta the same thing?
Re: Anarkali Dresses
^ Nope -- my photo is of the angharka, not the khara dupatta.
Re: Anarkali Dresses
Angurkha is the shirt which is like a coat that ties in the front at the side.
Khara duppatta is hyderabadi shirt/pajama with a saat gaz ka duppatta that is tied ina special manner.

Re: Anarkali Dresses

ahahahaha...I got the same impression!! :D
Re: Anarkali Dresses
would it look bad on petite girls as well? 
Re: Anarkali Dresses
I like the white one most, its gorgeous!
Re: Anarkali Dresses
i think the best part about this look is anyone can pull it off - its very forgiving i think… also IMO looks better with a longer kameez… with a shorter kameez if you’re not completely fit, i can see it looking like maternity wear because its a lot more poufy-looking. plus its mostly worn with churidars and i think those look prettier with longer kameezes too so you pretty much only see the churi bits at the bottom and maybe a little calf.
Re: Anarkali Dresses
do the dresses have to be frock type? peshwaz or anarkali dress? cuz then what i have is just a kameez with kaliyan 
Re: Anarkali Dresses
^ I think you can get it made that way to modernize it.
I used to hate these things cuz of the frock effect. But now I want one. I’m such a sheep

unless you're short and petite and a long kameez just hides you lol.....maybe a kameez a lil above the knees?
not too sure but I do want one
Re: Anarkali Dresses
so go mid-calf or maybe just a couple of inches below the knee?
