Indian Accessories

Nighty: Nighty has become a magic word among women all over India. Started as a night wear,

now it is also used as a day wear by ladies while they are in the house doing household duties and going to nearby places. This housecoat, a long gown from shoulder to foot is available in all the leading garment shops as well as at the roadside vendors, in various colors and beautiful designs. They come in small, medium, large and free sizes with or without sleeves. The price is very reasonable ranging from $1-$10 depending on the fabric used to make it. The fabrics include ordinary cotton, superior cotton, synthetic cotton and certain silk materials. Women get a comfortable relaxed feeling while in this dress and it is very easy to wash, easy to dry and no need to press. The popularity of nighty/housecoat is so tremendous that it has become a fashion statement very fast. No wonder, garment shops vie with each other to attract women with their stock of nighties in all possible colors and eyecatchy designs.

Other affordable garments Indian women wear include very simple salwar suits and saris, made out of fabrics like ordinary cotton, synthetic cotton or polyester without any embellishments. They also come in attractive colors and beautiful prints, the price ranging from $2.5-$8. These low-priced wears are the most sold out items in the Indian textile market. Designer saris, having the same looks and softness of their expensive silk counterparts, come in at affordable prices between 6-10dollars. During festival seasons, like Diwali, all Indian textile showrooms are flooded with all sorts of expensive as well as affordable outfits and the business is at its peak then. Jewels and costume accessories also make a very substantial profit at that time.

To conclude, most Indians believe in astrology strongly and firmly. They trust that the rays emitted from the nine precious genuine gemstones like diamond, sapphire, emerald, pearl, ruby, topaz, opal, coral and turquoise will fetch wealth and health removing all the miseries and hardships from the family. Men and women make ornaments, usually golden rings, studded with the gems together or separately and wear them on their body.
