DP Daily Prompt: New Sensation
I am completely overwhelmed by all the choices in front of me. I have seen all of them, but I never tried any of them. It is not because I am some extraordinary person and wouldn’t care about what was fashionable.
I grew up away from all types of fashions that existed around the world. We had two kinds of dresses. One was called Shalwar Kamiz; the other one was Sari.
Our population were not behind as far as the word fashion goes. So this is how they changed the same dresses in different ways. Let me write about Shalwar Kamiz; Shalwar I would say resembles slightly like trousers or pants. This is how the style changes in a shalwar, they (tailors) widen or make the bottom narrow; Kamiz which is almost like a shirt; is sometimes reaching your ankle and then it goes slightly below the knee or even above the knee. They used to leave the sleeves of the shirt by keeping it down to the wrist; now it is sleeveless or short sleeve.
The next is Sari: they tried to wear the sari below the knee,it didn’t pan out well because it looked ridiculous and spoiled the look of this graceful dress. So they’ve left alone the length. Instead they fiddle with the blouse. The blouse nowadays are so short it makes no sense to wear them. The blouse sleeves are short ,long,or three quarters. The neck line is too wide which I think does not look that great. This is all about fashion .Next is how do I deal with it.
When I went to Dhaka , I took some fabric with me to get some blouses made. I had a terrible experience,I showed what I wanted, the tailor who was interested in how much material he could steal made the blouses short and ugly. I thought our tailors stitched beautiful blouses, not anymore they’re too busy stealing as much as they can.
This is all I know about fashion in Dhaka! Pictures from wikipedia

Sad you had such poor luck with a tailor. I have been having a lot of problems with shirts here because they want to make them short too.

Although I am mostly in jeans, I love the shalwar kameez for most occasions. The shalwar styled the Punjabi way, with the kameez just above the knees. It looks so smart yet casual. Plus it needs to be brightly colored.
Shalwar kamiz is nice if the tailor doesn’t steal some material.I like them too.
Yes bright colors makes it look more attractive.
