boat neck midi dress Yindi Backless Maxi Red Finished with a softly ruffled hemline Pink Crepe Boat Neck Midi

Perfect for weddings, black-tie events, or school dances

Outfit ideas: A sequined cape lehenga in cobalt blue, emerald or fuchsia A statement Anarkali with thread, mirror and sequin embroidery A modern sharara set with a corset blouse A draped pre-stitched saree in metallic gold or champagne An Indo-western embroidered gown for the truly cocktail-leaning sangeet Aza pick for the sangeet: Look for designers like Seema Gujral, Itrh, Arpita Mehta, Punit Balana and Masaba their signature aesthetic of mirror work, sequins and contemporary cuts is built for this exact function

Instead, opt for a longer sundress or a dress that falls just above the knee

I always add some baba ganoush and hummus to the mix
