I've noticed there's a dearth of chunri outfit pictures here, as well as on the web. I figured Nomi Ansari or Faiza Samee would have some inspiring chunri collections (since color is their forte) but haven't come across any.
So I need some style input from you guys for a mehndi outfit (I'm not the bride). I'm not a fan of flimsy, thin material for an entire ensemble, (I like to mix and match fabric) and am at a loss as to what to get made. I know chunri comes in chiffon and silk - not sure what to get. The shirt will probably be parrot green, bottom hot pink and dupatta yellow (not decided). Yes, I plan to look like a gola ganda.
So how would you design it? Long kameez with chooridar, short kameez with shalwar? Have you seen chunri done in the currently in frock/flair style? Is chunri ever paired with another fabric - banarsi jamawar perhaps? Kaam includes beads/sequins/stones on the neckline in a thick, nefertiti type border, with the same kaam on the ankle cuffs. My concern is whether chiffon is too thin and won't fall properly with a 3 inch ankle border on trousers.
Sorry for rambling on, any ideas/pictures off the tops of your heads will be appreciated. Also any suggestions as to whether I should ditch the chunri and pick another fabric. Thank you!
