Full length blouse design to give a royal look to almost any Indian wear you can think of
Unlike the western culture where dresses are preferred that show a lot of skin, Indian culture is all about keeping the body covered and exposing just that is necessary. India is a hot country and therefore like most other hot countries, women wear clothes that keep them fully covered to protect them from the heat of the sun.
Traditionally, the Indian dress has mainly been the sari and blouse, lehnga choli, salwar suit etc and women have worn blouses that have kept their body largely covered only to expose that is necessary. Blouse is an important component of most Indian dresses, although with a little difference according to the dress. People often think that a saree is most important or a lehnga is more important but if you look at the Bollywood actresses that are considered as the ambassadors of fashion in India, give more importance to their blouses than the sarees or dresses. This is not because the dress or saree is not beautiful but because they know that true beauty of the dress and themselves is more expressed by the blouse rather than by the dress.
Full Length Dresses Back in Trend
Fashions come and go; sometimes the fashion is for half sleeve blouses, sometimes for cut sleeves, sometimes for short length and sometimes for full length blouses. However, in all these trends one trend that does not fade away is the full length blouse design for it gives a royal look to almost any Indian wear you can think of. Full length blouse has been a part of Indian dresses from the time of kings and queens who always used to wear full length dresses.
Today full length blouses are back in fashion and with a very loud bang. Dress and sari designers have realized the exquisiteness of a full length blouse from the response that they have received from people in fashion runways and public shows. You can see Bollywood actresses donning full length blouse designs in almost each and every red carpet function, award functions, inaugural functions and Bollywood parties as well.
These full length blouses are very comfortable because on one hand you can flaunt your skin or assets with net or sheer fabric and yet stay covered while if you want to give it a royal look you can choose a fabric like velvet or silk. The best part of full length blouses is that they can be made in so many styles and designs that every person can virtually have his own personal design and can stay exclusive.
Since blouses today are given more importance than the dresses itself, most women get designer and heavy blouses made for their saree or other dresses. Another great aspect of full length blouses is that they can be teamed up with other Indian dresses like a Lehnga, Ghaghra, sharara and others to give a completely new look with the same upper garment.
