Hola!

While the saree is undoubtedly considered as the sexiest clothing by all Indian women, westernwear is not far behind in the list. Young Indian women working in large MNCs and corporate houses are fast embracing western-wear, preferring them over the salwar kameez (how hot can they get after all!) and sarees. Trousers, skirts and formal dresses are finding space (lot of space in some cases) in cupboards previously dominated by traditional Indian clothes and strictly partywear dresses.

Although trousers and crisp shirts are becoming ubiquitous, formal dresses are lagging behind, thanks to the unwillingness of some ladies (may be they think their legs are too fat) and also the unavailability of good dresses in India (which may make the legs look less fat).

After having faced such a transition myself, and spending hours searching for good formal dresses in the Delhi and Gurgaon malls, I decided to get a few stitched myself (and it was cheaper too!). This blog aims to be a convenient repertoire of everything related to formal dresses - the availability, alternatives, do-it-yourself, types suited to the Indian body, how experimentative can you get depending on the workplace and the likes.

Read on and make heads turn at your workplace!
