Ethnic wear should be comfortable as well as good-looking, and this salwar kameez is both. The gold is the point of it - deep enough to feel occasion-worthy, plain enough to dress down.

It moves between everyday wear and occasions without needing much thought. Indian sizing does not map onto US sizing consistently - go by the measurements, not the letter.

Follow the care label first. As a general rule, silk, zari and heavy embroidery should be dry-cleaned; cotton and rayon can usually be hand-washed cold and dried in shade.
