[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 318179, member: 2844"]Billy, so sorry for your loss. And I am sorry you're getting no help in such a difficult situation. We're always here if you want to talk, a (distant) support network, I wish we could do more. The dress is a caftan, as johnny said, and a very pretty one. It is not a wedding dress, but red is the colour for joyous, festive occasions. It was probably worn over a silk fitted dress. Those ewers are a bit puzzling. Pakistani brides generally wear very heavy but elegant skirts called 'lehenga', with a matching top and veil: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.internationaldot.net%2Fupload%2F2017%2F12%2F10%2F216-best-pakistani-brides-images-on-pinterest-bridal-dresses-pakistani-wedding-bridal-dresses-l-e184e437f28fe62b.jpg&sp=c1b8ac399bd2bb74ec1af16ab02655e9[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.biwmagazine.com/upload/2017/10/08/great-pakistani-wedding-dress-collection-bridal-wear-2012-bridal-dress-l-8dae42bdf9a96c70.jpg[/IMG] They can wear a caftan over the lehenga, but that is a more fitted Persian/Mughal style caftan: [IMG]http://www.inblogslife.com/image/wedding-dresses%20(3).jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
