Indian clothing

Number - I've just looked at the site you mention above. They have some lovely tops and tunics and so cheap!

No Agus, nothing like that around here. I`ve picked out 4 tunics that I like from that site, also a couple of necklaces, hubby says he`ll pay for them for my birthday, but I think he`s thinking along the lines of TWO, not FOUR!

There are a lot of shops selling Asian clothing in some parts of Birmingham. I was going through one of these areas on a bus once and saw some really beautiful tunic style tops hanging outside a shop - lovely bright colours I kept meaning to back but never got round to it. I would definitely wear them.

number Thanks so much for the link the designs are beautiful right up my street for wearing in summer I love the fact a lot have 3/4 sleeves and can be dressed up or down depending on the occassion.
I have a kurtie that I bought a few years ago but it is longer length I wear during summer evenings if out and about its so cool and hides a multitude of sins on fat days.

In India Fabindia is favoured by foreigners, not too garish, and it is connected with EAST.

I did not find the rupali garments appealing, , but that is my taste.

Some Indian women are very slim, and the fashion of chudidars vary from year to year.

Are there no Indian dress shops locally numberplease. It might be better to see what you are buying and try it on if you are not sure about the online tunics.

I have been into a fairly local Indian shop to buy silk fabrics and the Lady who owns the shop was very helpful advising me on different qualities. Also bought a 'kaftan'.

number these days on GN all you have to do is copy them and they automatically work once you have pressed Post Message.

My next door neighbour when we lived in London used to wear the most beautiful saris to work; at home she slobbed around in trousers and t-shirts like the rest of us! (well, most of us.)

I would think the tunic tops would be very cool and comfortable, however, as Charleygirl said, I would be careful about the quality of the cotton, the dye and its washability. If you saw someone wearing one in the street, I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you asked where she bought hers.

I`m no good at links, but it`s www.rupalionline.com they`re based in Leicester.

East have some short kaftan styles in at the moment. I still have some on the go from East that are 6/7 years old. Which is practically new for me..

Great idea number . I used to work with some lovely Indian women at one time and they were amazed at the prices charged for Indian clothes in UK shops. I agree though, don't go mad - the fabric may be flimsy.
Can you post the link so that we can all have a browse? Tunics are so easy to wear, and there are not many in the shops at the moment.

Many Indians wear "western" fashion. Why not return the compliment? Think of it as a mingling of fashion cultures. Gotta be good .

Be careful because with some but obviously not all of the Indian clothing I have seen on sale in London, it lacks quality, looks very flimsy and 2-3 washes would see the end of it.

I would not think they would bother if you bought, money is money.

I'm sure they'd take it as flattery - wouldn't they? And how would they know? East used to sell tunics and now sells Kurties - if you can afford them (I wait for the sales), they look like the same thing to me.
