just a bit long in sleeves and length. My fault as I should have

garments? Or should they be dry cleaned? And thank you for the gift
of tigers-eye earrings!"

searching for something beautiful to wear to my daughter's wedding in

Indian Clothes as defined in
Wikipedia
Salwar kameez and dupatta
The salwar kameez is another form of popular dress for
females. It consists of loose trousers (the salwar)
topped by a long loose shirt (the kameez). It originates
from the state of Punjab in India, but now has become
popular all across India, and other South Asian
countries. It is commonly worn with a narrow scarf
called a dupatta, which can be used to cover the head,
or just draped over the shoulders. The salwar kameez is
most common in the northwestern part of India.
Lehenga, choli, and odhani
The women of Rajasthan and Gujarat often wear colorful
swirling skirts called lehenga, paired with a short
bodice called a choli. If they must cover their heads,
they do so with bright veils called odhani.
Men's clothing
The most common male attire consists of the dhoti and
kurta, worn in most of the western and central regions.
A sherwani is typically worn for special occasions. Men
of northern India and the Punjab may also wear salwar
kameez, often in plain white cotton, and top the kameez
with a dark waistcoat. The lungi (a type of wrap-around)
is worn in many parts of India, but depending on the
social practices of the region it may be restricted to
indoor-wear.
