Wedding Dresses: Saree Fashion's

In November, Hindus, Sikhs and Jains (as well as many others) take the month to celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights. Though the holiday occurred on November, most people continue to see family and friends and eat and dress up in traditional South Asian clothes until years's end.

Traditionally, women wear sarees or saris, a seven- to nine-metre long cloth often made in silk, chiffon or cotton. Generally, sarees are wrapped around a person's waist and draped over the shoulders; it's paired with a blouse that exposes a bit of midriff.

Other popular outfits include the lehenga, which is a combination of detailed pants, a dress-like top that goes past the knees and a matching piece of fabric that is worn on the shoulders or around the neck called a dupatta. Women can also be seen wearing choli suits (which replaces a lehenga's pants with a skirt), bangles and matching bindis on the forehead.

Fashion trends for Diwali-2013

As a child, I associated Diwali with brilliant lights, fire crackers, sweets and the like. Now that I am all grown up, I still look forward to Diwali because of the brilliant lights, fire crackers and sweets, but I have yet another thing to love about it – the clothes. Diwali is the best time of the year to show off your new clothes – after all, it is the only festival where you visit all your relatives, or they visit you, thus giving you a perfect opportunity to put on a little fashion show, if you are so inclined.
If you are the type of woman who does not normally follow fashion trends blindly, then it is still your duty, as a newly wedded or newly affianced woman, to make an effort this season to look hotter than usual. As a feminist, I abhor the mindset of those people who assess women based solely on their looks. As a realist, however, I understand that people tend to judge others based on the way the look – and this is doubly true for new brides or brides to be, when people will be focusing on your looks more than ever before. If you know yourself to be well dressed and looking your best, then you will have a confidence that no designer label can mimic.
So if you want to look as fashionable as a catwalk model this Diwali, here are the tips you want to follow:
Jewelry

In most cultures, Diwali, Dhanteras or Akshaya Tritiya is considered an auspicious time to buy jewelry. Of course, with the price of gold going through the roof this year, few people can afford to buy traditional 22 K gold jewelry.
