Christmas, New Year and the wedding season are all coming in the next few weeks. A satin gown is one of the most popular choices for all three: it shines under church and party lights, falls beautifully and photographs well. Here is a simple guide to choosing and stitching a satin gown in Virar, from picking the colour to the final fitting.

## Western gown or Catholic gown?

**Western gowns** are party and evening gowns: off-shoulder or sleeveless styles, fitted bodices, flared or A-line skirts, perfect for Christmas parties, New Year's Eve, receptions and engagement parties.

**Catholic gowns** are made for church: wedding gowns, bridesmaid gowns, first communion dresses and Sunday dresses. They usually have modest necklines, sleeves or a jacket, and a longer skirt, often with lining and a soft train for the wedding Mass.

At Shree Ambika we stitch both western gowns and Catholic gowns right here at our boutique, made to your measurements.

## Choosing your satin colour

- **Champagne / ivory:** classic for brides and first communion.
- **Lavender, baby pink, mauve, dusty rose:** soft pastels that look lovely on a team of bridesmaids.
- **Sage green:** a fresh, modern bridesmaid and party colour.
- **Maroon and navy blue:** rich colours made for Christmas Mass, Christmas parties and New Year's Eve.

Tip: for bridesmaids, choose one colour for the whole group and let each girl pick a different neckline or sleeve, so everyone matches and still feels comfortable.

## How much time to keep

December is the busiest month for tailors. Give yourself at least **2 to 3 weeks** for a gown, so there is time for a trial and any fitting changes. For a wedding gown or a group of bridesmaids, book even earlier. If you want your gown for Christmas, place the order in November or early December.

## What to bring when you visit

- A photo or screenshot of the design you like (Instagram and Pinterest pictures are fine)
- A well-fitting dress or blouse, which helps us with measurements
- The shoes you will wear, if you have them, so we get the length right
- Your own fabric, if you are not buying our satin

## Satin care tips

- Dry clean or gently hand wash in cold water. Do not wring.
- Iron inside out on low heat with a cotton cloth on top.
- Hang the gown in a cotton cover, not plastic, so it does not get marks.
