Barat dresses: rich, but out of the bride's lane

The barat is the big one, and the one where guests most often get it wrong. Go rich — royal blue, bottle green, black, jewel tones, proper hand work — but stay out of the bride's red and maroon.

If you're the bride's sister, you can go a step heavier than the other guests. Still not red.

What should the bride's sister wear to the barat?

Something a step heavier than the other guests — more work, a richer fabric — but never in the bride's colour.
