Different Blouse Styles to Suit Your Body Type

A woman looks most beautiful when she wears a dress that compliments her height, body type color, and attitude. Although Indian women have started wearing western dresses, yet their first choice are Indian dresses and they look most beautiful when they wear Indian dresses.

Most Indian dresses except for some variety of suits require women to wear a blouse. The Indian dresses like a sari, a Ghagra choli, a lehnga and an anarkali look beautiful with stylish, matching or contrasting blouses. While the sari, lehenga or ghagra have their beauty, it is the blouse that adds style to it.

Although a lehnga or a sari does not adhere to the shape or size of a woman’s body, the blouse must be designed and stitched according to the body shape of the woman so that she looks eternally beautiful. Every woman has a different body shape and style and for the dress to look beautiful, you must get the blouse made according to your body shape that includes the neck, the shoulders, the arms and the frontal portion.

Readymade blouses are available both in offline and offline stores that offer blouses with every kind of material that you can think of in a wide variety of colors and at such attractive prices that you will be lured to buy your blouse from them. However you must understand that no matter how good the blouse may look on the internet or even in a store, it cannot match the fitting of a blouse that is customized to your body shape.

Blouses are being worn by Indian women for centuries and new designs are added on a continuous basis with the change of society, culture and influence. There are some designs that have been worn by women from centuries while some are new. Since every woman has a different body shape it is not necessary that you can wear only the new and in fashion designs, rather it is possible that your body shape does not allow you to wear new style of blouses at all and you need to wear old style of blouses to look beautiful.
