In Sri Lanka one can recognize the occasion of the celebration through the clothes. However, since different festivals and customs take place in Switzerland, there may be different options in the country of origin. The clothes and make-up are different at every festival.
This dress is called a saree and is worn on the 18th birthday party or holiday party. The saree is in the colors white and gray, and has the same colors on the top.
The color blue symbolizes peace.
Since this saree is a party look, other colors for the top would highlight better. A blue fabric patterned with animals should replace the gray top and be adjusted according to the body length.
The saree itself is also called a cotton saree. The cost of cotton saris is around 50 Swiss francs. The blue fabric with peacock and cow patterns was bought in Sri Lanka and sent to Switzerland for customization.
The price for the fabric itself is around 7 Swiss francs per meter. Each saree is a 6.0 to 7.0 m long piece of fabric that can be worn differently depending on the style or occasion. Without outside help with the composition of the saree it is difficult to put it on yourself.
Of course, jewelry also plays an important role. For this party look, the gray accent colors of the original top with silver jewelry have been replaced.
A matching short chain, also known as a choker, as well as earrings, a silvery nose ring and bracelets are part of the traditional party look.
To this day, silver is considered sacred and pure and is intended to highlight the style of clothing.
