Go in for a handkerchief hemline in kurti which is well worn over slacks. Black ethnic wear can be fused with lot of mirror work to make the dress look exclusive. For trendsetting, use a lot of bangles or hair accessories that are ethnic and let the main dress be western.

Long skirts or the gypsy A line skirt is a great way for feminine grace. There are more styles in A line short skirts that can be worn with tank tops or simple formal ones. The bracelets can go from acrylic to plastic ones with the rainbow hinted ones that add a lot of color to any outfit.

Fabric painting can be employed on plain tops with message T shirts or other muslin dupattas. Go for abstract designs, tiger prints and use a lot of accessories to create a fusion style.
