This is an extremely crucial and important step in ensuring you get the perfect drape, fall and finish. The trick to getting the perfect salwar suit style is to purchase a fabric that’s soft, flowy and easily moldable, especially if you want something that comes with a lot of pleating. We suggest you try fabrics like crepes, chiffons, nylon, polyester and others such as these.

When going for a kurta fitting, you must know exactly how loose or tight you want your kurta’s fit to be. Even with the salwar, you should give clear instructions to your tailor on how voluminous you want it to be, and even when he is taking your fittings, ensure the measurements aren’t too snug and leave an inch or two of breathing and moving space. It really will make you look slimmer and better shaped.

Try a different fabric like a net, or a crushed one with bandhani dye, a completely contrasting colour or just ditch the regular way of draping it and try a new style. It could be wrapping it around your neck like a scarf, draping it from the back or even pinning it to your kurta to give it a cape feel. 

5. The Perfect Neckline

According to your figure, your bust size and even how long or short your neck is, you should choose your neckline accordingly. People with long necks can try high necks, necks that are heavily embellished and more. If you have a short neck, opt for a broad neckline. We suggest you try necklines like a boat neck, rounded and a sweetheart neckline.   

6. Contrast Colours
