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.

Broad Shoulder Body

Women having broad shoulders often make fashion blunders wearing slimmer neck lines and full sleeve or three quarter sleeve blouses.

Voluptuous Top Body

Women with voluptuous figure need not worry about the blouse style because they will look sexy in every blouse that they wear. The only thing that you need to avoid is the embroidery or embellishment on the blouse. Since your upper body is heavy, embroidery or embellishment will make it heavier and thereby look bad. Apart from this, you need to see whether your hands and shoulders are thin or broad. If you have thin shoulders and thin hands, you can choose any style of blouse and it will look sexy on you but if you have broad hands you should avoid wearing cut sleeve or small sleeve blouses as they will show the fault lines.
