Dupatta is a quintessential accessory in the Indian ethnic wear wardrobe. It adds grace, charm, and elegance to any traditional outfit. It is a long rectangular cloth, usually made of cotton, silk, or chiffon, draped over the head or around the neck. Dupatta styles vary across the Indian subcontinent, and each state has its unique way of wearing it. In this blog, we will explore different ways of styling the dupatta, from traditional to contemporary, to add a touch of sophistication and uniqueness to your outfit.

glossary:

Barre: A handrail used by ballet dancers to maintain balance while exercising. One hand is placed on the barre at all times, and the dancer stands beside it.

Kitri: The feisty and wilful heroine of the ballet Don Quixote. When her father Lorenzo tries to marry her off for money, she doesn’t play the victim, but hatches a plan to marry Basilio, the charming barber who has won her heart, and pursue her own version of happiness. As a dancer’s role, Kitri is athletic and demanding. Kitri wears striking red costumes (look them up, they’re really beautiful) and gestures expressively with a fan in a nod to her Spanish heritage.

Don Quixote: Don Quixote is a ballet in three acts, based on episodes taken from the famous novel Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes.

Kurta: A loose collarless shirt/dress of a type worn by people in South Asia, usually with a salwar, churidars, or pyjama.

Dupatta: A length of material arranged in two folds over the chest and thrown back around the shoulders, typically with a salwar kameez. Usually worn by women from South Asia.

Right after you set foot in the studio and dropped your bag in the corner, you made a beeline for the cacophonous, eagerly buzzing crowd that had formed around the cast list.

You saw a familiar duffel bag and raised your eyebrows slightly. Surprisingly, Gwen had showed up on time. Miracles really did exist.

Murmurs of disappointment and cheers of satisfaction rippled through the dancers in the room as they dispersed one by one, either wearing an expression of genuine excitement or a mask of disguised regret that they hadn’t tried harder or trained longer.

You pushed your way to the front, your eyes immediately darting to the name next to Odette. Your heart sank as you traced over the curly loops and sharper lines of the handwritten letters.

White Swan/Princess Odette : Patricia Roberts.

Pat…?

Sure, she was good, but she was always a little bit too fast for the pieces. She was brilliant at lightning-quick steps in speedy variations, but couldn’t ‘dance like a flowy fairy’, as your ballet teacher said, to save her life.

And the White Swan was all about being slow and sad and graceful.

Your eyes travelled further down the list, going through the roles of Odile, the cygnets, the general swans, and the royals. Each time, you were disappointed. By the time you reached the end of the list, you couldn’t help but feel a little bit anxious. Your name just… wasn’t there.

You were a part of this, right?

The entire class was taking part in this production. It wouldn’t make any sense for you to not be there. Even if it was just as a regular background swan.

“Can’t find your name either, huh?”

You hadn’t noticed that everyone else had broken off into excitedly chattering groups to start warming up and take their places at the barre, leaving only you and Gwen standing and craning your necks up at the piece of paper that seemed to decide your fate in the studio for the next few months.

You shook your head no, earning a sigh from Gwen that lasted longer than it probably should have.

“Well, we could ask Miss Walker, but she’s not here yet. So…” She shifted awkwardly beside you. You tried to observe her from your peripheral vision without being too obvious. She sounded… tired. Exhausted, really, like she hadn’t slept in a few days and then had to run a marathon around the city. She had done a pretty shoddy job of concealing the heavy dark circles under her eyes — which truly was saying something, because her makeup was usually immaculate.

Fuck. You couldn’t believe it, but for a moment you almost felt sorry for her. Well, maybe not just almost.

“Hey, uh… you good?” You winced at your attempt at a nonchalant tone. Gwen turned to look at you like you had sprouted a third head, slight confusion reflecting in her eyes.

You had never noticed them before, but she had nice eyes, honestly. The expressive kind that could show every little shift in her emotions if she didn’t hide it. And right now she looked like she was about to grin or crack a joke, so you fixed a scowl on your face to ward off any amusing thing she might have been gearing up to say.

The smile in her eyes faded.

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

Time to poke the bee’s nest. “You don’t sound—”

You were cut off as the studio doors flew open, and Miss Walker, looking extremely hassled, practically sprinted in. Random strands of hair poked out of her unusually-untidy bun, and her glasses were perched precariously on the tip of her nose. She held her phone in one hand and a clipboard in the other.

“Class, pointes on and everyone to the barre right now, please! Finish your second warmup, I’ll be right with you. Gwendolyn, Y/N, may I have a word with the two of you?”

We’re in trouble, mouthed Gwen with a comically scared, wide-eyed, completely exaggerated expression that was very childish and definitely should not have made you want to laugh. You bit the inside of your cheek to clamp down on your smile.

Your ballet teacher led you both over to a corner of the studio, adjusting her glasses right as they were about to fall off. “Okay, so I have some very good news for both of you. You might have noticed that your names weren’t on the final cast list at all, correct?”

You both nodded.

“As it turns out, you’ve been selected by the School of American Ballet to feature in New York City Ballet’s version of Swan Lake! And not selected for just any role — you girls are playing both Swans!”

The words took a few seconds to register in your mind. The sheer improbability of it all was phenomenal — two mere teenagers chosen to perform by the most prestigious ballet company in the world, to dance alongside some of the best professional ballerinas-in-the-making? This was a dream come true; was any of this real?

“You’re joking,” you heard Gwen say beside you. You felt like you were about to lift off and float all the way to the sky when your teacher just gave a broad, proud smile.

Everything after that was surrounded by a hazy glow of euphoric shock — blurred by excitement and lightheadedness and disbelief. You might’ve blacked out at one point, bracing yourself against the wall while you waited for your vision to clear.

Gwen suddenly narrowed her eyes in a wince, squinting as if she had a headache. “I’m so sorry, I have to go,” She mumbled hastily, before grabbing her bag and slipping out of the studio. And just like that, she was gone. Again.

You and Miss Walker exchanged a look of slight confusion, but she shrugged. “Well, you’re dismissed for today, Y/N. They’re expecting you tomorrow. You know where the company is, right?”

“Yes, miss.” Of course you did, which ballerina didn’t? Of all the best aspiring ballet dancers’ dream companies, New York City Ballet was right up there with The Royal Ballet in London, Paris Opera Ballet in France, and the Australian Ballet in Melbourne. In other words: this was a giant fucking deal and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You’d have to be beyond idiotic to blow it off.

You arrived at Lincoln Center (which housed the New York City Ballet), fresh-faced and a few minutes early. Well, maybe not so fresh-faced, since you could barely sleep because of nerves. Throughout the night, what felt like a million thoughts that were all variations of what if I’m not good enough? and maybe I’m not cut out for this plagued you well into the early hours of the morning.

You felt a tap on your shoulder and turned to see Gwen, looking annoyingly (and most probably effortlessly) put-together and honestly quite fashionable. Did she have to have such perfect eyeliner? Even her hair tips seemed pinker than usual.

“Wow, you’re early for once,” You tried to load snark into your tone but failed miserably, earning you an insufferably relaxed chuckle from Gwen.

You shook your head and focused on trying to find the ballet company’s actual studio. Lincoln Center was comprised of a complex of buildings in a giant neighbourhood that you had never been in before, and the David H. Koch Theater which housed the New York City Ballet was just one of those many buildings spread over 16.3 acres.

You were lucky you two had arrived early, because it took you ten whole minutes trying to find the theater - because, as it turns out, you and Gwen had entered from a separate entrance from the main one. Finally you entered the studio, and for a while the only sounds were that of your shoes squeaking on the shiny wooden floors.

Something that struck you was just how big everything about it was.

The light fixtures that lined the walls cast yellow light all along the hallway, illuminating everything with a soft glow the colour of honeyed amber. Just walking that corridor made you feel like you were approaching a royal ballroom, floating around in a gown that could put Kitri’s costume from Don Quixote to shame.

You finally saw the door to the studio. Someone was waiting outside — a man in an all-black suit with close-cropped black hair and a salt-and-pepper beard. His face broke into a smile as he saw you and Gwen, and without waiting for you to fully make it to the door, he strode forward and clasped your hand.

“Welcome to New York City Ballet! I’m Carlos, the resident choreographer of this company. We’ve been expecting you! Your teacher has informed you of the production we are working on, yes?” He rattled all of this off at full speed in clipped, staccato pronunciations, so fast that it took you a second to register what he was saying.

“Swan Lake, right?” Gwen answered for you.

“Yes, yes. I assume you both know the combinations for both swans?” You nodded maybe a little too eagerly, eliciting a subtle eyebrow-raise from Carlos. “Very good. Come, I will introduce you to Shaoni. She is our support staff, and a former ballet mistress. She taught many young dancers who went on to become famous prima ballerinas. Don’t take her words too seriously; her bark is worse than her bite.”

He gave you a sympathetic smile and pushed open the double doors. Immediately the first thing you saw was a woman wearing a blue kurta with a gold-trimmed dupatta, her dark hair pinned into a bun at the nape of her neck. The thing that stood out most about her was her highly displeased scowl that had her looking like someone had insulted her entire bloodline three times over, spat in her face and then wrecked her favourite tutu.

Forget a simple resting bitch face, this was a prime, next-level display of an I’m-done-with-this-shit-and-I-need-a-vacation expression.

“Good morning, girls. My name is Shaoni Lahiri, you will address me as Miss Lahiri. You’re a bit early; please begin your warmup while we wait for the others. Also, our artistic director wanted to talk to you about your first day, so once he arrives meet him in his office.” Miss Lahiri had just finished her introductory monologue when her phone buzzed in her pocket with a notification.

Her eyes swiped over the lockscreen for a brief second before she tucked it away again, and you could’ve sworn you saw her roll her eyes slightly when she saw the name of the messager. “Mr. Osborn will see you now. The door to his office is in the far left corner of the studio. Try not to get lost, will you?” Even her sarcasm sounded effortlessly annoyed beyond relief.

And just like that, she abandoned you and went over to compare choreography notes with Carlos.

You turned and followed her directions, noticing a polished wooden door near the end wall of the studio. “Hey, wait for me!” Gwen had been busy gawking at the studio and, really, you couldn’t quite blame her. It truly was something else compared to the much smaller one you were used to.

You knocked once and pushed open the door once you heard a voice call out, “Come in!”

The moment the door swung open, you were immediately blinded by the brightest white light you had ever seen. The entire office looked like it had been bleached to within an inch of its life; there were no specks of dust to be seen and everything was neatly arranged in cupboards and on shelves.

“Oh, hello there!” Once your eyes had readjusted, you noticed a man with greying red-brown hair in a crisp suit with a green pinstripe jacket, an orange vest, and black pants. He sat with his hands clasped neatly on the lacquered teakwood desk in front of him, wearing a polite smile.

“You must be the new arrivals, yes? Let’s see, what are your names…” He opened a folder that had been pushed to one side of the desk, flicking through pages. “Gwen Stacy and Y/N Y/L/N?”

“Yes, that’s us,” You answered quickly, feeling slightly giddy with excitement as the truth sunk in properly. This wasn’t a dream, you had really been selected by the fucking New York City Ballet. You would be working alongside some of the best ballet dancers in the area. Better yet, you had more than a fair chance at dancing Odette. Of course, so did Gwen, but you were obviously the better choice… it wasn’t personal, really, just that she barely attended a full class and therefore should probably dance Odile instead.

“Excellent, excellent. Pleasure to meet you. I’m Norman Osborn, the artistic director of this company.” He stood up and shook your hand. He smiled at Gwen, but instead of smiling back, she just dropped her gaze, inhaling sharply as if she had been stung.

“Something’s not right with him,” She murmured to you the moment Mr. Osborn turned his back to retrieve a folder from his filing cabinet. “I can’t explain it, just… please trust me. I think he’s going to be a threat to us.”

You felt annoyance flare up inside you, white-hot maelstroms of anger expanding by the second. “Please excuse us, Mr. Osborn. Gwen and I need to discuss something.” You tried to sound as inconspicuous and well-mannered as you could. You grabbed Gwen’s shoulder and pulled her through the door, closing it behind you.

“Listen here,” You hissed, letting go of her. “I didn’t make it all this way and train for an extra four hours a day for three years just so you could blow this off. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re some sort of a package deal. So don’t you dare make up stuff and tell me this perfectly polite man is a threat. Is this some sort of scheme? You make me get cold feet, pretend like you’re dropping out, then when you convince me to leave the company you swoop in and snatch up the role of Odette? Is that what you’re playing at?”

Gwen stared at you in utter disbelief, rubbing her shoulder where your grip had tightened just a little too much. “What? No, of course not. I would never—”

“Okay, good. Now let’s get back in there and do whatever the hell he wants us to do, because this is the New York City Ballet and we are not leaving till we’re done with this production, got it?”

For a split second, intense desperation marred her features and she looked like she was about to cry. Then, just as quickly as it had come, all the vulnerability displayed on her face disappeared — but not from her eyes. Her mouth and eyebrows were relaxed, cool, but her eyes shone with a feverish light that made her look a bit manic. Finally she took a deep breath and glared levelly at you.

“Fine. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Something about her tone would have sent a shiver down your spine if you hadn’t been so pumped up about this whole ordeal. You dismissed it easily, penning it, possibly, as the sullen disappointment of a plotter whose evil scheme hadn’t gone quite according to plan.

You entered the office again, Gwen trailing behind you reluctantly, and gave Mr. Osborn a big smile. “You were saying?”

He passed you and Gwen two sheets of paper and a pen. “Sign this. It’s a contract that officialises your stay at this company for the duration of this production.”

You signed it eagerly. Gwen, who was studying the words intently, noticed your impatience and signed it too.

“Perfect,” said Norman Osborn, giving you a big smile. Was it just you, or did it look more plastic this time…?

Nope, definitely just you. He carefully filed the sheets away and clasped your hand in a handshake once again. “Welcome to New York City Ballet. I’m sure this contract will prove to be beneficial to the both of us.”

Gwen dropped her eyes to the floor. Probably just her odd headaches acting up again.

Team Chandora, redesigned a lil cuz it's kinda insulting how boring their designs are lol. I maintained their colour scheme in clothes but changed it to be different from one another. Ig it was intentional for them to wear similar clothes so I let that be. Idk if ppl even remember them so, there're the characters that battle wild fang once. They also fell victim to Masked Bull's "speech" that embarrassed everyone in Japan, maybe something that people would remeber. They are minor one off characters only to be seen once again as a single frame. This post is basically Indian bladers across generations, cuz, I Indian.

I love this guy and his adorable snake friend.

what are they

Below is just me overanalyzing and comparing the generations.

So, mfb. Team Chandora. It's the best in terms of giving them a personality and also screentime. The character names are most probably just slightly altered versions of some really popular Indian actors/celebs. Salhan - Salman (Khan); Vridick - Hrithik (Roshan); Aniel - Anil (Kapoor). Neither of their names are familiar to me, nowhere near a common name in India and, mean nothing actually. So this is how I think they named them. Salhan is the hot headed guy I'm assuming. His design is just as basic as you can get. Even tho he's the leader, I can't say much about him. But he's probably a good starting point in building a character. Which will never happen he's a one-off character. They all pretty much have the same height too, so I gave that a variation in my drawing. Vridick is the tallest. Ok, the first time I saw Vridick I thought "wtf is wrong with him". Like, his eyes. I realised it's just a "animators drawing characters weird in low budget episodes" problem, his design is probably the best of the three. Simple yet cute cuz idk if anyone else has noticed it but he has a little catness about him. The eyes and :3 mouth. It's subtle, but it's there. Just because of that he's my favourite of the trio. (I didn't realise this before but I'm a fan of his corresponding celeb lol) Aniel, is the one I was "wtf" about till the very end. His design is just horrible 😭 like, it SHOWS they really tried making a design look even somewhat distinguishable, but failed. Like with them "eyes that are different from the first two" and "hairstyle that isn't short like the first two" naw. So I just redesigned him to have, pretty much the same hairstyle but doesn't reveal the weird hairline. They are all the snake beyblades, cuz India snake charmers yadayada. Tho their designs don't really reflect the snakey thing; so I just added a dupatta/scarf to reflect that. (I originally just added it cuz it looked cool actually).

I can't help but notice how badly they were disregarded in their episode. Like not even in a way that would teach them to not be so full of themselves, but in a way like they are not even considered to be a proper opponent but an obstacle on the way to defeat the protagonist of the series (I'm talking about kyoya). They get overshadowed by kyoya and ginkas battle. It's actually kinda sad (

I ALSO can't help but notice the Blader DJ of India is based on Gandhi. Lmao. It's actually funny asf. Where did the battle between wild and fang and chandora take place, the Taj Mahal? Idk how many people don't know this but Taj Mahal on contrary to it's name is not actually a palace, it's a mausoleum. You would wonder where the tombs went. Even worse they might be battling ON the tombs. lul (edit: I don't really know lmao. The thing they built seemed like it was based on taj mahal. It's actually pretty neat if they designed it themselves. It's beauty :>)

Now on the bsb, first season bsb Indians we meet are the Charming Princes. They have the weirdest designs of all like wha. The unnamed blader is probably the most normal of them all. But the rest, idk what to say. I kinda like Ronnie's glasses ig, even tho they are impractical. Tho they are the weirdest in terms of design, they are the best in terms of beyblades, as in, a team quirk. That their beyblades are as big and heavy as one can be allowed to have. Makes sense cuz they are all princes of some place. They don't get much screentime either, just some guys the bladebreakers defeat. Robin gets overshadowed (annihilated) by Driger coming back to Ray and his rivalry with Lee.

Next in beyburst, it's Dhaula Giri. So, he's the best in like, overall. He's the best in design, he's not bland or weird, just a normal guy from India. He has a normal generic beyblade (same Suoh's original bey). Nothing crazy and I think that's a good thing. Oh oh, and a cute lil Snaker, I just love him for having a snaker just hang out with him, it's goofy but I actually like this idea, it's way better than giving them snake beys. I think he and Hae Jin would be homies. He's not much personality wise, prolly just a nice guy. Not much plot or screentime either but Hae Jin getting over his fear of his snake friend was neat enough. His name is good too, not entirely random names like Robin or Ronnie, or just jumbled celeb names. Out of all, I like him the best. Tho I'll have to say, if I build upon Team Chandora, I'll probably like them more.

First love.

Rashid al-Qadar and Sukhbir Kaur (both 15) in Mughal-era Diu, Gujarat, India, during what was supposed to be a routine trading voyage with Rashid's merchant family from Ottoman Jeddah (in what is Saudi Arabia today).

By all means, that dupatta should probably be fancier, but my references of Gujarat fashion during the time was really abstract and looked nothing from what is considered traditional garb of today. Either way, her face and hair is inspired by Aishwarya Rai in her role of Parvati in 'Devdas (2002)'. Yes, I am aware the setting is in British Raj Bengal, shhh.

I'm pretty sure there are books and films in early Mughal-era Gujarat, I just need to find them.

I otherwise have only Bajirao Mastani as my only exposure to Mugal-era fashion of the time, but that is centuries later and in a different part of India (Maratha). Right now, I'm mostly relying on popular films as a "starting" point before I start my deep dive into the actual academic stuff.

Don't get me started on how difficult researching Ottoman fashion is too, especially when dates and terms are never concretely designated or explained to English-speakers.

[empireofpearls-if]

Character Appearances:

First the ROs:

Akbar

Ear-length curly dark brown hair, kept neatly under his royal turban. He has brown almond eyes, a fair complexion with sharp expressive features, a mole on the left side of his nose, and a thick mustache. A strong build with a broad chest, a narrow waist, and long arms means the emperor is seen as a fairly attractive man. Able to relate more with commoners due to not being raised as royalty, his welcoming smile and a cheerful and friendly personality has helped him amass following from the very early days of his reign. Always dressed in his royal garments and opulent jewelry, Akbar exudes authority. Despite this, he stands on the shorter side at only 5'7".

Ruqaiya

Knee-length brown hair, loosely covered by a dupatta. Pieces of jewelry cover her from head to toe in a way that is only fitting for an empress of her stature. Her fair complexion is only made more beautiful with bold red lips and dramatic eyeliner on her almond eyes. While traveling away from the palace, she exhibits a modest and reserved fashion, hiding her curves and leaving only her eyes visible. To an outsider who doesn't know any better, Ruqaiya and Akbar look like siblings, maybe even twins. Unlike Akbar, her upbringing has all but ingrained a bit of elitism in her blood which she isn't always able to suppress. She is of average height, about 5'3".

Mahira

Waist-length black braided hair, covered by the dupatta of her farshi pajamas and the elaborate passa she wears on the side of her head. As the newest bride, she fulfills her duty of carrying the social status and familial wealth of her family by wearing many layers of gold and pearl jewelry. Mahira is shorter than most people and wears light makeup over her round dark brown eyes and lips. She has a dark brown complexion and has a petite physique. She isn't every talkative and tends to stay in her room. She is very short, standing at only 4'10".

Arslan

Short light brown wavy hair that is fully on display inside the palace as he rarely wears his turban indoors and his popularity in court allows him to get away with it. A man in his position usually has a long full beard but he seems unable to grow one. Despite his good reputation, he is an irritable individual and his hooded hazel eyes, ones he inherited from his father, almost perpetually wear a scowl. Arslan is a tall and lanky man with bags under his eyes and skin that remained unusually pale even in the sun and heat of Agra. Compared to the rest, his almost otherworldly features only helped to solidify his mystical status. And to add to that, Arslan is one of the tallest people in the whole Empire, standing at 6'3".

Nadeem/Nadia

Nadeem has black hair kept short almost like a buzz cut, Nadia has straight black hair going past her shoulders that are intricately braided into an updo. They both have dark skin and upturned dark brown eyes with softer features. Nadeem has trained with soldiers when he was young and still possesses the strength and muscles. Nadia is more on the leaner side with not many visible curves and is considered tall for a woman. They both wear fine clothing expected from the nobles of the time but don't adorn as much jewelry as the people living in the palace. Nadeem stands at 5'9" and Nadia stands at 5'7".

Hamza/Hira

Hira and Hira both wear full head coverings, a hijab and turban respectively that completely cover up their black hair. They have a sun-kissed brown complexion, with sunken dark brown eyes and slightly hollowed cheeks. Growing up malnourished, neither of them have much height or muscles, sporting a bony physique. Hamza wears a simple white dhoti and jama, while Hira has a few worn kurtis. Hira is 5'1" and Hamza is 5'3".

Now the non-ROs:

Bairam

Short salt and paper hair and a short full beard, Bairam has long limbs perfect for sword fighting. He isn't as pale or tall as his son but his strong posture and sharp hooded hazel eyes manage to give him a very intimidating figure. No matter the occasion, he always travels with his talwar, Zulfikar sheathed within his luxurious garment. He stands tall at 5'11".

Salima

Salima, like her cousins Raqaiya and Akbar, has a fair complexion with shoulder-length brown hair which she regularly cuts despite being advised against it. She also brown almond eyes but considering her royal status, she wears almost no jewelry or makeup. She has even worn jamas, traditionally seen as masculine clothing up until her first marriage. Now her fashion sense is still very muted and her lack of effort and overall demeanor ruffles a lot of feathers but her marriage and strong friendship with both her cousins means no one dares says a word. She stands at 5'5".

I'll maybe add either a Pinterest board or commission their portraits later on as I don't trust AI to do any of their features justice.

Gathered style– Light fabrics like chiffon and georgette are best to use for this style. If you want a sharara in these fabrics then it's best to go for a gathered style to give this silhouette a much-desired flare at the bottom.

Pleated style– If you have a medium-weight fabric then go for fine knife pleats to give the sharara a voluminous look. Fabric-like fine silk is perfect for this look.

Tiered style– If the simple style doesn’t fascinate you then do try the multi-layered or the tiered sharara style where the sharara is done in layers and is gathered at every layer.

Two-layered sharara– The bottom part of the sharara can also be done in two parts and its best to use eye-catchy embroidery here to make the silhouette look more beautiful.

Multi layered– One can add more layers to this silhouette like in the picture. Needless to say that this style looks beautiful while you walk, and in general too the layers add a modern touch to this traditional bottom style.

Stylish Dog Kurta and Dog Lehenga for Your Pet

Comfort and style are the most important factors when it comes to spoiling our animal companions. The growing popularity of dog costumes and accessories allows owners to dress their dogs in stylish attire for a variety of occasions. There are plenty of options available on the market to make your pet appear gorgeous and feel comfortable, whether they choose to dress traditionally or festively. At Boof by Bella, we offer a wide selection of fashionable yet comfortable pet clothes.

The dog kurta, a classic piece of apparel suitable for special occasions or cultural festivals, is one of the most fashionable dog costumes available today. Beautiful dog lehengas are also available to give your canine a regal appearance, in addition to kurtas. In this post, we'll go into the realm of fashionable dog clothing and accessories, with a particular emphasis on kurtas and lehengas, as well as how to dress your pet to impress.

The Expanding Pet Fashion Trend

Not only has clothing for your dogs become trendy, but it's also cool for them to wear clothes that match their own personalities. Fabulous fancy gowns, including beloved designs like the dog kurta and dog lehenga, are frequently in demand due to consumers' growing concern for their pets during family celebrations. This is especially true for holidays like Diwali or Holi, when putting a dog in traditional festive attire lets them feel more involved and makes them look adorable for an upcoming family wedding. Visit Boof by Bella to see amazing ensembles and dress your pet in the most fashionable way possible.

Dog Kurta: A Customary Preferred Option

If you would like your pet to have a traditional and ethnic appearance, a dog kurta is an excellent choice. The soft, breathable materials used to make these kurtas guarantee your dog's comfort while still giving them a fashionable appearance. Dog kurtas, which come in a variety of hues, designs, and sizes, are ideal for holiday occasions, family get-togethers, and special events. 

The fabric is an important consideration when selecting a kurta. Choose materials that are safe for your pet's skin at all times. Cotton and linen are the most suitable materials for kurtas because they are soft and breathable. To keep your pet comfortable during the cooler months, you can select kurtas made of heavier materials.

Dog kurta designs range from basic solid hues to more elaborate embroidered versions. Additionally, kurtas with matching shoes and collars are available, which elevates your pet's appearance altogether. Boof by Bella offers a limitless array of alternatives, whether you're looking for a colorful and vibrant kurta or something more subdued.

Dog Lehenga: A Fun Option

A dog lehenga is the ideal option if you want to dress to impress at a big event. Traditional lehengas are made up of a long skirt that is frequently worn with a dupatta (scarf) and choli (blouse). For festivals, weddings, or any other occasion where you want your pet to stand out, lehengas are an adorable way to dress them.

Dog lehengas are available in an array of materials, patterns, and dimensions to accommodate various breeds and tastes, much like kurtas. While some lehengas are more ornate and have beads, sequins, or embroidery, others are lighter and simpler. Choose a lehenga that will not impede your dog's mobility and ensure their comfort throughout the occasion.

Dog Matching Accessories

Because of this, dogs, much like humans, require accessories to finish off their ensembles while donning new attire. A comical feeling to the dog's attire can be complemented with collar bands or even add-ons like bows or baby shoes, if they are accessible. For kurtas and lehengas, there are accessories that complement the outfit quite well, including jeweled collars or scarves. These accessories, from Boof by Bella, are available in a variety of styles to complement your dog's attire.

Prioritizing safety over comfort is important when selecting accessories for your dog. Toys with small parts that your dog might chew on or swallow should not be purchased. Furthermore, the accessories must not cause discomfort or impede an individual's range of motion. The goal is to make your dog attractive and comfortable.

Why Clothe Your Dog Has Advantages

One of the greatest ways to outfit your dog in traditional attire for festivals is to get them a dog kurta and lehenga. It also has the added benefit of making your pet more beautiful and visually appealing, as well as being integrated into activities that are themed around cultural events. The first thing to note about functional clothing is its wide selection. You can outfit your dog in clothing to keep them warm in the winter or to protect their skin in the summer heat.

In addition, the majority of dog owners enjoy dressing their animals in stylish attire, saying that this kind of clothing is ideal for capturing moments to treasure and relive later.

The Ultimate Guide to Designer Lehengas: Elevating Traditional Indian Fashion

When it comes to traditional Indian fashion, the lehenga stands as one of the most elegant and culturally significant garments. Among the various styles, designer lehengas have gained immense popularity for their blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design. Whether for weddings, festivals, or special occasions, a well-crafted designer lehenga can make you the center of attention. Let’s explore what makes these exquisite pieces a staple in Indian fashion.

What is a Designer Lehenga?

A designer lehenga is a luxurious and customized version of the traditional lehenga, typically consisting of three parts: the lehenga (skirt), choli (blouse), and dupatta (scarf). Designers create unique patterns, cuts, and intricate embroidery that set these pieces apart from mass-produced alternatives. High-quality fabrics such as silk, velvet, georgette, and satin are often used, along with hand-embellished details like zardozi, sequins, pearls, and mirror work.

Why Invest in a Designer Lehenga?

1. Exclusivity

One of the main reasons to invest in a designer lehenga for women is the element of exclusivity. Most pieces are either custom-made or part of limited collections, ensuring that you’re wearing something unique. This is particularly important for brides or individuals attending high-profile events.

2. Premium Quality

Designer lehengas are made with premium fabrics and superior craftsmanship. The attention to detail in embroidery, beadwork, and tailoring elevates the overall look and durability of the garment. When you invest in a designer lehenga, you’re investing in a piece that will last for years, becoming a timeless treasure.

3. Customization

Many designers offer the option to customize your lehenga to fit your style, body type, and the occasion you’re dressing for. From altering the color palette to adjusting the design of the blouse, customization ensures a perfect fit and an outfit that truly reflects your personality.

Popular Designer Lehenga Trends

1. Pastel Lehengas

In recent years, pastel hues like blush pink, mint green, and lavender have become popular choices for both brides and wedding guests. These soft shades add a contemporary touch to the traditional outfit, offering a refreshing alternative to the usual reds and golds.

2. Floral Motifs

Florals are trending in the world of designer lehengas online, with both subtle prints and bold, embroidered floral patterns making a statement. Whether incorporated through hand embroidery or digital prints, floral designs bring a fresh, romantic feel to the attire.

3. Cape-Style Lehengas

Cape-style lehengas have gained traction for their modern appeal. In this design, a flowing cape or jacket replaces the traditional dupatta, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the outfit. This trend is perfect for those looking to make a fashion-forward statement.

4. Lehengas with Belts

Adding a belt to a lehenga has become a popular way to modernize the silhouette. This trend not only defines the waistline but also adds a chic, structured element to the overall look. Belts often feature intricate designs that complement the embroidery on the lehenga itself.

Where to Buy Designer Lehengas

1. Bridal Boutiques

Many high-end bridal boutiques in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore carry collections from top Indian designers. These boutiques often offer customized services, allowing you to choose fabrics, cuts, and embellishments to suit your preferences.

2. Online Stores

Many e-commerce platforms feature designer lehengas, offering a wide range of options from both established designers and upcoming talents. Websites like Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop, Aza Fashions, and Ogaan offer curated collections that you can explore from the comfort of your home.

3. Designer Showrooms

Visiting a designer’s showroom is another excellent way to purchase a designer lehenga. Cities like Delhi and Lucknow are home to some of the finest showrooms, where you can directly interact with designers and receive bespoke services.

How to Style a Designer Lehenga

1. Jewelry

The right jewelry can elevate the look of your designer lehenga. Traditional pieces like jhumkas, maang tikka, and kundan necklaces perfectly complement the rich embroidery and fabrics used in designer lehengas.

2. Footwear

Since lehengas often feature voluminous skirts, the footwear you choose should be comfortable yet stylish. Juttis and mojaris are popular traditional choices, while modern brides might opt for embellished heels.

3. Hairstyle and Makeup

Your hairstyle and makeup should enhance the beauty of your lehenga without overpowering it. Soft waves, elegant updos, and minimalistic makeup with bold lips are all popular choices that pair well with most designer lehengas.
