For when the dress is English and the mood is desi.

Kaala rang, pakka andaaz.
Kaali dress mein rooh bhi zara shaant, zara sharaarti.
Raat ka mausam, mera dress aur meri apni chaal.
Sadgi mein jo baat hai, wo kisi chamak mein nahi.

Kaala toh bas bahana hai, asal mein main hi chamakti hoon.
Aaj ki raat ka outfit: sabse simple, sabse sundar.

Getting more from these captions

Mind the shadows
Black swallows detail in dim light. Shoot near a window, a streetlamp or a bright doorway so your face and the dress shape both show.
Add one bright point
Red lips, gold earrings or a coloured bag gives the eye somewhere to land. Mention it in the caption only if it is the point of the photo.
Let the mood pick the tone
A quiet indoor photo suits an elegant line, while a night street suits something sharper. Try reading the caption aloud in the voice of the picture.
