hey guys
my brother is going to marry in november inshallah and my bhabhi wants us to decide dresses for her
we decide to have golden yellow and light green for valima but really confuse for the style
the colors: (the girl at front)
there r 2 choices we have
mermaid style
or
furshi gharara
or
if u guys know any other style which is in fashion right now
my bhabhi is 5.2 ft or 5.3 ft so
which one u guys think will be better for her ???
Re: valima dress dilemma - which one???
no farshi's for someone so petite- she might drown in all that fabric.
mermaid would look good if she has a good figure. i love the colors in the first outfit, btw... gorgeous and so fresh! will you do an emerald set for her?
Re: valima dress dilemma - which one???
I wouldn’t do with the mermaid actually. With something like a mermaid hugging the body and her lower curves, the cut will make her look shorter. Shorter people should never wear something that hugs the lower body like that. Mermaid styles look excellent on taller women who have legs to carry the fabric after the fabric is cut off for the bottom flare.
I’m sure she’d be wearing heels on the wedding so 2/3 inches means 5.5? She’d carry a lehnga/gharara beautifully.
SGC, you looked wonderful on your wedding (as if I haven’t said that enough already:P). Perhaps if you showed her some of your pictures, she’d get a better idea of what suits shorter people..? 
ps: Love the colors on the right.
Re: valima dress dilemma - which one???
yeh mermaids do not suit smaller girls i should i know cos im one! get her something which suits her figure n makes her luk better
Re: valima dress dilemma - which one???
thank u so much for the reply guys
my bhabhi has really nice body figure
if u guys have some thing nice style so please help me
i want something new and right in fashion
Re: valima dress dilemma - which one???
i had an a-line lehenga and that style works on everyone universally, regardless of height. however, i have seen petite girls pulling off mermaids very well too… i think it really depends a lot on your figure more than your height- you have to be pretty thin overall. and as YP pointed out, with heels, she’d probably be closer to 5’5", so the mermaid might actually work.
you can always do a trumpet skirt too, if a mermaid silhouette is too extreme… a trumpet is basically a gentler cut, between an a-line and a mermaid.
i found an old post of mine showing the difference between the mermaid and trumpet skirt… yay for google!

Re: valima dress dilemma - which one???
I wouldn't put that cut of a mermaid on a girl that height. Perhaps if the gote came higher than the knees. Regardless, for that height, I think the best shape is the traditional gharara (gote at the knee) or an a-line sharara or one with only a slight flare like a trumpet, as SGC suggested.
SGC- thanks for posting the link to the two skirt. I think the trumpet skirt is ideal. It's so flattering and I think it makes your legs look longer...so you end up looking taller!
Re: valima dress dilemma - which one???
why not a two legged like that picture just exactly like that or a dhaka pajama with a long top? that would look good on her i think. the colors are cute
Re: valima dress dilemma - which one???
^ a dhaka pyjama, i've only seen yours, does it always have a long shirt? cos you're tall so you carried it off, but someone more petite might end up looking shorter.
well im really not that tall im barely 5'6 but i dont think it always has to have AS LONG of a shirt but it should be on the longer side. i also like the pants with the bands (gharara?) like in the picture above, especially on petite girls it looks like really dollish and beautiful!
Re: valima dress dilemma - which one???
if she is skinny/thin, then for her height, best thing to do is get a short fitted shirt and an A line lehenga, and worn with high heels. will add maximum length to her height.
I think a "gharara" with the "gote" just at the knee paired with a slightly longer shirt wud look fab. It will elongate her body. So will a darker color on top..and a lighter color for the gharara..
Re: valima dress dilemma - which one???
yes i think ginas suggestion is PERFECT! i love that band at the leg.
