Shopping for unstitched dress materials in local bazaars is a beloved tradition in India. However, nothing is more disappointing than spending ₹2,000 on fabric and ₹1,500 on tailor stitching fees, only to put on the finished suit and discover the color makes your skin look tired or dull.
1. The Daylight Fabric Drape Test
- Step 1: Step Away from Store Lights. Store fluorescent bulbs are cold and artificial. Always view unstitched fabric near natural daylight near a window or doorway.
- Step 2: Hold Fabric Under Your Jawline. Observe your eye circles and complexion. If your face lights up, the color is in your palette. If your skin looks greyish, put it back.
- Step 3: Use Scan Before You Buy on Colourity. Use Colourity's camera scanner while shopping in market stores to check palette fit before buying!
