Designer salwar kameez is a dress type of Indian women. This dress consists of two parts namely, salwar and the second one, called kameez. Ladies wear this combination either with or without dupatta, depending on the style and design of the salwar kameez. Normally, in daily language usage, it is called – suit or say, ladies suit. Salwar kameez either stitched or designed by fashion designers are called designer salwar kameez.

Fashion designers provide the customers with endless possibilities by designing salwar kameez using different stitching styles and different types of fabrics for salwar kameez. Technically, Kameez is a shirt or a tunic that comes in different lengths and different styles. Some of the different styles of kameez are:

  1. A-line style kameez: is the simplest style of kameez in ladies suit. The shirt is stitched in A-shape pattern. Such a design takes the shape of the body of the female wearing it. This is also the most comfortable design amongst all the types of kameez that can be designed.
  2. Anarkali Style kameez: is inspired by the royal dressing from ancient India. The shirt stitched in Anarkali style is well fitted from the neck region and expands into folds below the waist line. The neck region can be designed in any shape as the body structure and the fabric allows. (Please note that there is no flap in anarkali style salwar kameez, unlike Angarakha, which has flaps in the collar region).
  3. Angarakha style kameez: is inspired by the Rajasthani dressing style, particularly Rajasthani musicians. The Angarakha style of shirt has two flaps in the collar region, such that, one flap overlaps the other, when tied. The shirt is tightly fitted starting from the top region till the waist line. From waist line it changes into a flair pattern of folds. There are so many folds which give it a frock-like feeling. Ladies use this style in kameez in such a way that the folds appear beneath the knee length. Such a design is considered very much feminine.
  4. Kurta or Kurti style kameez: is the free style kameez, which has a loose fitting and straight stitching. These days, this is the most preferred style of kameez amongst the Indian female. Some kurtis have collars also. There are full sleeves kurtis or cut sleeves as well. Cut sleeves have sleeve cutting attached inside. These can be used later, if required.
