Re: BRIDAL PICS.

^i know..isnt that strange.
anyway, i agree..sara hashwani's dress was inappropriate..for paki standards...but kiran carried the look very gracefully...even though her body structure does not agree with an off-shoulder dress..yet..she looked awesome! maybe because her dupata/chador was draped in a beautiful manner..plus her height managed to contribute to the look as well..

22

oh ma word. i can just imagine all the aunties gossiping like their lives depend on it.

23

Hypocrisy..?

Yeah, b/c its' just in theory. AND the girl who suggested it even said that she wanted to keep it covered throughout the ceremony. Even if the duputta is not completely opaque it will still be covered for the most part. People here are totally okay with sleeveless and low necks and all but noone says they're being risque or vulgar. :p

25

Sleeveless is one thing...low necklines is horribly trashy!

26

Re: BRIDAL PICS.

^agree…low neckline :no:

27

Re: BRIDAL PICS.

depends on how low it is.

28

Whatever...I guess we just have very different ideas of what is/isn't trashy looking.

I'm hardly a purdah nazi, but I wouldn't be caught dead in a completely backless blouse that's just held together with a couple straps...I have no desire to dress up like a stripper, even there is a semi-sheer dupatta over it. :p

Re: BRIDAL PICS.

i don't think its hypocrisy, i think its different tastes and opinions. i don't find sleeveless and low backs/backless bothersome, but i do find low necklines out of place in bridal clothes/desi culture.
why must we all agree on the same things? everyone agreed a scoop back would be classier... but depending on how low/deep her scoop is, she'd be showing the same amount of skin, wouldn't she?
and you're totally not a prude, janab!

also generally speaking, lets shoot for a happier tone- its getting a bit harsh in here with some of the comments.

Revealing Bridals (Sleeveless, One shouldered, Mid-riff baring) - Any takers?

Last weekend I went to a valima and the bride (fresh from pakistan) wore a bridal lengha that looked so pretty it was like something from benzerworld.com. Anyhow her whole stomach was showing...like a lot of it. Then my cousin said that the skirt is suppose to be worn even lower down and she's suppose to be showing more stomach and that this is the new trend in pakistan; meaning indian looking bridal lenghas. Uhh is that true? Because even at my hindu friends wedding they kinda drape their dupatta in a way and don't show that much...so ya are pakis pushing the limit and showing their stomachs fully now?

Re: New trends for wedding dresses in Pak

Oh, my God! No, Sweet_LiL_Hunnie! Haven't seen any belly baring brides here. Sleeveless is pretty much it and that too, in very hight society weddings. Showing stomach is definitly NOT in! and I am sure the whole baraat will require a trip to the ER if they ever see one here!

32

Oooh...I know exactly what you mean.

I also went to a valima in August, and the bride wore a tight lengha and short top which was like a bodice with flimsy strap like things on her shoulders....no dupatta just a thin stole wrapped around her wrists..Although she looked incredibly beautiful, it's not something I would be prepared to let my daughter wear.After mini CO picked her jaw off the floor, she was all eyes.I soon put her right!!.Plus...both families are conservative people and very 'namaazy' etc.The mind boggles.

hey since i was at the same valima i knw what u talking abt ;)...but another problem was that the salon lady didn't fix her dupatta correctly (didn't knw how)...so it was actually suppose to be draped over to cover up.

34

so it was suppose to be a bit more gujurati style bc she wore it a bit like madhuri did when she did her first song in devdas, which is always a nice way to drape it but dude seriously what's going on with paki fashion. first capris, then sleeveless, then sari wearing was accepted and now this? i dunno...

35

well congrats, you didn’t spill the plate of food right? :slight_smile: also I wonder why so many desi children are allowed to run wild at weddings. my parents would have never allowed anyone in my house to act that way. And i like kids, they are cute and normally sweet but sometimes i wish they weren’t always playing tag or crawling under tableclothes at some of the functions i’ve been to.

Re: New trends for wedding dresses in Pak

Well, all this trying-to-be-hip desi stuff is pretty annoying. I really don’t like the daring bride thing, even though the media showcases Pakistanis wearing trashy revealing clothes as it is the norm in our daily life, too. I think people living abroad take it as a true picture and dress up accordingly - Resulting in belly baring brides in tight lenghas and short sleeveless tops. :frowning:

It looks funny even the celebs are shown wearing these outfits to their parties:

and the fashion spread shows these as bridal fashion:
