There was a time when gowns weren’t a piece of clothing which the Indians could associate themselves with. It’s the Bollywood industry which made it popular, red carpet appearances, award functions and all! Go Figure! On a different note, what makes the gown a favourite among Indian women is the fact that it makes them look slimmer, shapelier and helps to hide the imperfections.
For a long time, Brides too have been fascinated with this garment and love to adorn it for their cocktail events. The bonus here lies in the fact that Indian gowns can boast of embellishments and other ornate stuff. Although, different gown styles have different names and every women must be familiar with them. So here it goes -
1) Sheath
It is straight cut and as the name suggests, it sheaths the body tightly. Great choice to flaunt that well toned figure.

3) Trumpet
Just as the name tells us, it look likes a trumpet – it’s a fitted piece and then flares at the knees. You can’t afford to take long strides while wearing it, unless you want to trip over and end up breaking something!
