Indian Salwar Kameez

Indian Salwar Kameez is the most preferred dress for Asian women. School going teens to old age women, every one prefers Salwar Kameez to any other form of dress. The dress is easy to wear. It covers entire body, looks graceful without ever giving feel of orthodoxy. Light cotton fabric used in above Indian salwar kameez provides extra comfort. The dress is loose fit by design. Therefore it is also preferred maternity dress.

Indian Salwar Kameez is a gift from the Mughals. In their custom, both men and women enjoyed this apparel, cut in long flowing panels. Elaborately embroidered with real gold and silver threads, studded with precious gemstones, those Mughal kurtas weighed nothing less than 5 to 10 kilograms. As time passed, the modifications were made according to the comfort and affordability of the people. Though the source of inspiration remains the same old Mughal fashion, many changes are seen in todays style of salwar kameez. It is women’s primary apparel among the north Indians. However, its comfort and easy to maintain qualities have made it universally popular.
