  11. I always liked the flare part(of my frock type anarkali) to be very big and i preferred 5 metres. Today i took 5 metres of cloth to my tailor and he says he cant make a kali pattern because there are flowers on it and the kalis cut them off. I asked him to make a double umbarella. He says we cant make it too.

    Keerthi,
    Can u please explain to me if there are any restrictions to make a double umbarella with a particular cloth? It has enough panna too. Please help.. I want to use all the 5 metres..

  18. Hello, I would like to ask you if you could make a tutorial on how to make a simple dress a bit heavier. What I mean is I bought like a replica 1Kg dress (so a light one) which is a replica of a heavy dress, and I wanted to make it heavy not in the borders, but the skirt part itself. So like adding some padding in the inside with some fabric like net or similar so that the skirt looks "fluffy" or "fuller".

    Sorry if my post is confusing, but I didn't know how to explain myself. Hope you understood wat I meant.

    Thanks
