Young Indian women research sarees thoroughly before online shopping

Now women dominated indian online market as customer and this is continuously increasing each moment.

Women in their 20s and early 30s often thoroughly research products before making purchases by gathering information from the Web, social media, online reviews, friends, family and their parents, a new survey shows.

More than 80 percent of women this age, called Millennials, say they put a great deal of thought into what they buy to make sure it’s the best choice, according to the survey of 1,100 women who were born between 1979 and 1993.

When it comes to clothing, shoes and personal care items and high-tech purchases such as a computer, cellphone or tablet, the Millennial women rely more on input from their peers than their parents, says Tracey Hope-Ross, senior vice president of consumer insights and research for Mom Central Consulting, a social media firm which conducted the survey.

They turn to their parents for advice on big decisions: 66 percent ask their parents’ opinion when purchasing a home or car and one in three look to their parents for advice when choosing a life partner, she says.

“The buying process is a longer one for Millennial women than it is for Baby Boomers or Gen Xers,” Hope-Ross says. These young women “gather a lot of information from disparate sources. They talk to their parents. They talk to their friends online and offline. They look at brand websites for a lot of their factual information, and they rely on comments on social media. They take these many sources of information, decide what product is best for them, and then finally make a decision.”

Other survey findings:

93 percent of Millennial women have purchased a product after hearing about it from a family member or friend.
71 percent spend more time browsing for products online than they do in stores.
48 percent use social media to learn about new trends in fashion, food, art and music.
93 percent either always or sometimes read online reviews before buying a product.
78 percent say they’re more likely to purchase a product if it receives a positive review on a retail website.
Nearly 70 percent are unfazed by celebrity spokespeople.

Unrelated to shopping, but another fascinating finding from the survey: Almost 90 percent of Millennial women talk to their parents once a week or more, and 50 percent speak with them daily.

Modern Style of Wearing a Saree

Due to relocation to Western countries such as South Africa, countless Indian women began to dress in the common saree lower than the waistline exposing the navel, famous as low-rise saree or low down hip saree. Hence, the gap between the bottom of the saree blouse and the upper portion of the petticoat began to enlarge to expose the navel or a fit roll of fat as a substitute of only a pair of inches of skin. Also due to liberalisation and altering international fashion styles, sarees are re-rising as clothing which can expose as much as it secretes. As a effect, sarees began to be created in many modern ways and fabrics. Transparent and semi-transparent sarees prepared of sheer materials such as chiffon are an instance. Heavily decorated sarees gave way to featured nylons and polyesters.

These sarees are arranged in various ways such as petticoat being tied at about 4–5 inches lower the navel or where the blouse is tiny and ends just lower the breasts and the pallu is thin, thereby exposing some portion of the blouse and approximately the complete midriff. A fashion designer once stated,” The saree is the most adaptable garment in the globe. It can, with a flounce of the head, be traditional or with a spark of the navel, stylish. If you are going for an entreaty get together, all you require to do is to position the pallu above the shoulders or cover up your head with it. The similar saree, worn a slight low to show off the navel, and grouped up with a rear-less choli, and show a bit of cleavage, can build you the most stylish woman at a blend gathering.”

Wearing the saree lower the navel does not constantly direct to exposing it, as the navel is wrapped with the pallu in a low-rise non-clear saree. This fashion can be obliging for tall women for whom tying the saree over the navel might not be possible. The pallu assists in wrapping the navel. In Indian community ethnicity, sarees are needed to be worn in a graceful method avoiding navel disclosure.
