Buttercup Yellow Salwar Kameez

Subcontinental Asia - India

Sizes: XS, L

Opacity: 3

Sleeve: Fixed

Elasticity: There is no elasticity in the fabric of this product as it is a cotton blend. However, it will stretch to fit in places it feels tight similar to the way denim stretches. Please note that Indian garments often have narrow sleeves, so it might be worth buying one size up if you have thicker biceps. However, the palazzo pants in these garments are elasticised, so this means they can often stretch to fit someone one or two sizes larger. Likewise, they are comfortable for an extended period for pregnant ladies as the elastic will grow with your waist.

The cotton salwar kameez is one of the most comfortable modest outfits one can wear. Here at Myriad Modest Fashion we particularly love the modern take on this traditional outfit that sees the inclusion of palazzo pants that sit comfortably on the waist thanks to an elastic waistline. This ensures a modest, elongated silhouette that does not grip the legs.

Of course, being a true salwar kameez, this is a three piece suit, with the dupatta (long elegant scarf) included. We consider this a must ad traditionally, the dupatta is not worn as an optional accessory but as a vital component and feature of this elegant and feminine form of dress. It is also very handy for any modest dressers who wear hijab or prefer to keep their hair fully or partially covered.

This warm buttercup coloured example embodies South Indian traditional patterning such as the use of the temple border. While rich in texture, this salwar kameez is less busy than some as it does not mix patterns, making it a beautiful option for a more formal or evening setting.
