3. Ruffled gowns
IMAGE: Ruffled gowns like these were a staple at royal galas and were loved for the natural drama they create. Slowly they fizzled out to be replaced by leaner, more structured dresses. Would you wear something like this from Shantanu and Nikhil's latest line?

6. Collared blouses

8. Voluminous hairdo

Think this trend deserves a comeback?

9. The mogra-bindi look
