I've been obsessed with fashion ever
since I can remember, and overdressing has been a thing for the longest time in
my life. One would think that these two things are antithetical, that if you
love fashion, you love dressing fashionably, but, for me at atleast, this
simply wasn't true. Until very recently I loved fashion so much that I wanted
to try all of the colours, all of the silhouettes, all of the trends, often all
at once.
The latest type I tried was the evening gown. Trust
me, I had never donned a gown before this that enhanced my curves and filled in
me the confidence to rock the ramp (maybe one day). Thanks to SUBHA MEHRA for creating this
beautiful piece and convincing me to pose in it for a few shots for A
TALE BY SUTA - Subha's designer brand under which she creates
some fabulous designs for girls that aren't only exceptional but also divine!
Interestingly, I've realised that
nothing can beat the classic elegance of a long flowing evening gown. You can
dress any woman in an evening gown and watch her change into an absolute diva!
There is an endless list of styles and patterns that are designed. From
high school proms to Oscar nights to cocktail parties, elegant formal gowns
make their presence felt everywhere. It simply accentuates the curves of
curvy women, and hides the flaws of stout women. Slender and petite
women look stunning in these too. Thus, there is a gown for women of every body
type! The piece that I'm donning in these pictures is purely magical. Made
of scuba fabric in a flowy style with graceful cuts on the back filling me with
feelings of amour!
I chose to accessorize my look with a
sleek diamond necklace from PUNJAB JEWELLERS AND SONS, that
came in a set with a pair of earrings & ring as well. You will have to
agree that it makes the look complete and vivacious at the same time! PS : I
can’t thank my makeup artist SIMRAN TANEJA enough for making
me appear an absolute stunner. It’s mystical how she plays with some brushes on
my face and transforms me into a dream everytime! Some darker hues this
time with smokey eyes, plum lips and lots of highlight for utter
boldness.
There was the time, as a young girl,
where I refused to wear anything except for pink, and anything except for
skirts, which resulted in weather-inappropriate outfits, many trips to ballet
uniform stores, and, I'm sure, a firm belief by my mother that the world is far
too gendered. Finally, there was the time I undid all this girliness and
bought everything black, and turned into the most stylish wardrobe decision
I’ve ever made with also some black gowns hanging in there. As for this
one, it has my ladylike heart forever!
I hope you liked reading this post and gazing at the
pictures, as much as I loved shooting for it and writing for you. Do drop in
your comments in case you want to send some love to my team for helping me
dress the best, or for any queries. Until next time, love and luck!
