Indian Fashion Clothing


Indian Sundress

A sundress is an informal sleeveless dress of any shape in a lightweight fabric, for summer wear. The dress is intended to be worn without a layering top, and the design must therefore cut a balance between modesty and allowing sun exposure.

Indian Cotton Dress

Sundress in cotton fabric is a very light dress, suitable for wearing outdoors or on beaches in bright sunshine. There is an inner lining in thin cotton fabric that adds to the comfort. Machine embroidery has also been done impart the dress some more attraction. A sundress, like a jumper, is sleeveless and collarless. However it isn't worn over a blouse or sweater, and is of a distinctly different cut and fashion.
In British English, the term jumper describes a sweater. Also, in more formal British usage, a distinction is made between a pinafore dress and a pinafore, which, though a related garment, has an open back and is worn as an apron. Pinny is a shorter name for both garments

The sundress provides a feminine look that may be lighter and more comfortable than a skirt and blouse, or another sort of dress. Modern styles commonly feature very low necklines and short hemlines, but more modest lengths and a variety of patterns are also widely available.

Cotton is one material that has been synonymous with Indian summer fashion. As it keeps the body cool and reflects the sun rays. White is the all time favourite, you could also try other pastel shades. Infact you can get bold by trying out colours like fiery orange, bottle green fuchsia and other bright colours.
Cotton fabric is very popular in a tropical country like India, because of the soft twist imparted by the hand, maintains the hairiness of the yarn to an extent, which gives maximum comfort. Handlooms producing Khadi weave cotton in such a way that the interlacing of threads provides maximum passage of air to the body, thus creating a cooling effect, making Khadi an ideal summer wear.
