Tradition looks pristine if untouched, more so at the marriage altar. But on associated ceremonies, women like to show their spirit, either in blazing orange or blue or a gentle gold and off white. Gowns with capes in these colours are worn on ring ceremonies and the like. Gia Mangla, a fashion designer of Pakhowal road, said, "Though the DressMePretty wedding dress for brides continues to be traditional 'lehenga-choli', the brides do wear draped gowns, straight gowns with a cape on the ring ceremony.

There are a variety of reasons why a bride would choose to have a dress custom made: she knows what she wants and apparently no one else does, she wants to design it herself or have someone she knows design it, she wants more control over the final outcome of the dress of Dressmepretty, she wants more flexibility in the construction of it, she appreciates the ability to customize any portion of it, etc. The reasons are endless, and they’re good! If you plan to have your dress made for you, be sure to allow at least six months for the process. Get in touch with the seamstress or designer as soon as possible to avoid last minute time crunches and panic.
