Plus Size

Tired of hunting for clothes in your size? Don’t fear, you’re not alone in your battle for the perfect fit. India has historically been known for women with curves, but when you go into stores, the fashion industry still seems to be catering exclusively to skinny western woman. Rarely do you see stylish and elegant clothes designed for what has come to be known as the -plus size- segment. All curvaceous women seem to get are box cut kurtas, in the wrong fabrics, cuts and styles that don’t do much for their shape or show off their assets to the best advantage. And ironically the choice becomes even more limited if you prefer to shop online.

Women in India are now waking up to the potential of high fashion in all sizes. We’re seeing a growing demand for latest trends and styles in the size range of XL-XXXL in both western and ethnic wear. The kurti is fast emerging as the preferred choice of dress for larger sizes. Meanwhile the top fabrics of choice in this segment are chiffon and georgette because they give the wearer a long flowing look.

We asked our young and vibrant team of designers for their fashion tips for the plus sized. Here are their top five recommendations:

— Choose clothes (especially underclothes) that fit well to look your best

— Wear kurtis and long tops to elongate your torso and make you look leaner. They’re great to hid the love handles too!

— Experiment with V-necks and round-necked outfits to get that longer slimmer look. Avoid high necks as they’ll make you look chubbier

— In fabrics, opt for one with flow like georgette and chiffon for that long look

— Don’t forget to add some inches (lengthwise) with a pair of trendy heels

Dress up games have become quite popular especially with the pre-teen and teenage girls. Even adults obsessed with fashion love to try their hands on these cool games. In this regard, special mention must be made about the Indian dress up games which are gaining popularity quite fast. India is a diverse land with a cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic culture. Young girls from India and abroad love to play dress up with Indian attires including the traditional outfits! These games can be played online or can even be downloaded if the website so permits.

Growing popularity of Saree dress up games:

Indian saree is one of the most famous garments which an Indian woman wears. It is traditional and yet quite trendy. Plus, a saree is a unique garment of the country and has been appreciated by women all over the world. Saree dress up games are very much in vogue. And there is more than just one reason for that.

Firstly, a saree is something which can easily catch the attention of a young girl. It is long and flowing and can be draped in various styles. This fires up the imagination of the girl and makes her inquisitive about the game. Secondly, most young girls in India get drawn towards this garment because it is something they have never tried. A saree is basically a garment which is worn by a grown-up lady and not by a child. Hence, a young girl who watches her mother going about in saree all the time itches to dress up a cartoon character with one in her own style. Since the girl knows that one day she too will be required to wear a saree, this game can be her first brush with this attire. The game is more like the emancipation of the growing-up girl who can vent her thoughts and her creativity through this simple yet marvelous game.

Other kinds of Indian dress up games:

An Indian dress up game also involves styling of the hair and choosing the right makeup and accessories. There are various types and categories of games now available. Some games may ask the player to flaunt her hair styling prowess while some games may require the player to glamorize a plain-Jane character. Then some games require you to dress up an Indian princess which can really lure a girl child.

Apart from sarees, there are other attires as well like the Salwaar Kameez or simple casual dresses which can be draped across the model character. The games are popular because they are as challenging as they are exciting.
