Review of Skirt Cotton Dress Clothing Summer Fashion In India Size 16 (skt406b)

I ordered this skirt in a smaller size and when it was shipped to me it was medium size. Even then I decided to keep it because the material was of good quality and i liked the print and rather than go through the hassle of returning it and losing money both ways I decided to keep it and maybe give it to my elder sister.

I had never worn it at this point. Imagine my dismay when I pulled it out to wrap it and tried to zip / unzip the skirt and the zipper broke in my hand! Upon closer inspection I saw the quality of the zipper was very bad and it was already rusting. So now I am stuck with a skirt that is too large for me with a zipper that is broken.

Although I like the designs and the patterns and even the cloth texture on Shalin's website I will not be buying from here again...poor quality of accessories and lack of attention to detail.

I wish they had put up size charts, paid attention to my size, and perhaps sent replacement zippers (for e.g. when you buy from Banana, Gap etc...) they send replacement buttons and thread. Am disappointed.

Early Indian literature, speaks of the bhairnivasni, a skirt like garment, which evolved from the antariya, a simple tube shaped garment. This was stitched on one side, gathered and held at the waist by a girdle. Women wore it as a lower garment. It later evolved into a skirt with a drawstring called the ghaghri made from five and a half meters of fabric. The skirt in India is known by many different names, depending on the regional style, the most popular, by far, being the ghaghra.It was the flare that made the ghaghra such a sumptuous garment and one so captivating that it was celebrated both in poetry and art. The ghaghra is really a long skirt, which has the construction of a simple gathered skirt or a flared gored skirt. It covers the legs fully or partially, depending on the norms of propriety among different ethnic groups, although a long ghaghra usually relates to more puritanical modesty. Another term used was the lehenga, a compound of the Sanskrit words lanka (waist) and anga (body or limb). The lehenga is generally associated with a panelled skirt that is narrower than the ghaghra. However, there are no rigid definitions and the terms have found more generic usages. This and other styles of the skirt are very popular in North India.
