Western Idea translated for Indian conditions - the Indian long skirt

Brilliantly adapted from its original western counterpart, the Indian version of the skirt has gone down well with Indian women. Not restricted to a length close to the knees like the western skirt, the Indian skirt is a long flowing drape from waist downwards to just above feet level. Maybe it has more to do with the culture of the country; nevertheless it is seen as a dress or garment that suits almost any occasion.

Endearing features of the Indian skirt
Kalamkari or Qalamkari is hand painted or block printed textile. It is derived from the Persian ‘drawing with a pen’. There are two styles in India. One is based on themes of religious hangings, temple engravings, scrolls, deities, scenes from epics etc. The other based on Islam influence of the Mughals evolved with themes of flora, fauna and nature. The long skirt or more likely the popular skirt has been lapped up by the Indian market mainly for its qualities as a fabric that serves as attire suited to Indian conditions, as fashion apparel with a wide range of styles, as quality handloom clothing with a lot of variety that goes well with a lot of combining tops. Starting from the waist and ending with a flaring bottom at the feet, it holds promise for all ages of women to look graceful if not shapely, seem tall where lacking height could be socially discomforting, add appeal if looking tall be a welcome virtue.
Besides, the ease of movement and comfort as a dress, it allows the wearer to make a statement given the right combination or pairing top matched by appropriate accessories like stoles, belts, designer bags and footwear.
