Tips to keep in mind before buying a Sabyasachi gown:

1. The need for Cancan:

While choosing your gown, discuss the need of cancan underskirts with the store. If you wish to add character to your plain outfit, you can opt for cancan. Avoid using cancan in embroidered or embellished outfits. It will add unnecessary weight to your outfit and will get in the way of your dancing plans.

2. Weather-appropriate fabric:

Opt for the right fabric for your gown, keeping in mind the weather. Avoid wearing khadi silk gowns in summers.

3. Choose by skin tone:

Choose the right colour of gown according to your skin tone. If you’re a lighter complexion, opt for brighter colours. If you’re a medium skin tone, opt for colours that will brighten your look – opt for florals and pastels. If you’re a darker skin tone, opt for colours that will flatter your skin tone. Red, Orange and Rust are all your colours.
