Saree
Saree as we all know is described as ‘six yards of elegance’ and is rightly so. This traditional Indian outfit when worn the right way, gives the wearer the confidence and poise that any woman will crave. Be it a simple saree with minimal designs or a party wear designer saree, carrying a saree look is not an easy task, especially with all the metres of fabric it comprises. The downside to saree is the effort it takes to wear it - the draping, adjusting the length of the pallu, and finally the pleats.

Gowns
Gowns are easy to wear for formal events and the best choice for women who can’t handle the lengthy saree fabric. They give a more western look and feel. Carrying the gown look is much easier as there is no pallu or extra fabric to take care of. Hence, gowns have become a favourite amongst new-age women.
