Okie, that answers my question. Understanding the problems faced by indian ladies, chudhidhar is ok, but make it the last option and nothing too fancy, just some mild colors with not much embroidery, mirrors etc. But the best would be to get hold of some formal female clothes as they wear here( for example in banks). Your prospective employers are hit with a culture schock when they see indian dresses.

sorry yaar....I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. This outfit certainly is comfy but would get you lot of unwanted attention at your work place. Just try to blend-in, and not stand-out because of some exotic oriental apparel. Could send wrong signals to one-track-minds.

well, just go to a shop and ask advice to the salesman (better a woman). Tell her that you are looking for some that can be used in an interview but it can be reused to go to the disco on weekends 
Just kidding, the salesman will give you a good advice 
If I was the interviewer I would take the wearing of chudidhar as a (first) sign that you are still not integrated in another culture (not very good), and it will distract the attention of the interviewer(s). Try to look like a "standard" person.
"do u think i need to prepare about the products?"
hard to say for us, it depends of the job description. Try to find how it relates to what the company does. For example, in our case, if the job description says "image processing", we know that we will have to concentrate in that line of products. It sound easy, but there are companies with a very large line of products and it has no sense to review all. For that reason is important to get a good job description.

Alex is right...If I was the interviewer I would rather see my candidate in one of these

I would also discurage cloths that are not "common" culture.
One more tip:
At the end they will ask you if you have questions. Show interest in the job, ask about the number of team members, their age (this shows that you are a team player), ask some details about the work activities, let them now via your questions that you are the person for this job. During the interview ask "by the way" technical questions.
good luck!

If you haven't done the interview yet, send me a mail at daolwin at hotmail dot com, I will send you a document with a list of questions you can ask during your interview. Got that from Techrepublic.com a long time ago, it might be of help.

Well as far as I know, multicultural dresses are banned from many of the companies as they draw unwanted attention from the internal employees.
So strong recommendation would be to wear a ladies suit as this is the code of business in Europe.
Dont think much about your outfit as that may consume some of your energy rather than channeling it in performing the interview. Just wear a suit and think that you are the best.
A feel good attitude is always the secret for performance.
Be cool. Some companies try to test your patience and anoyyance levels by passing derogatory remarks about one's culture. Just have a smiling face and try to change the topic when such questions arise.This doesnt mean that they are harsh but they just test you whether you would be able to integrate into the company inspite of some anti social influences.
I strongly recommend you to ask many questions as possible. Never ask a closed question which converges the opponents answer to a 'yes' or 'no'.
Ask all open questions as possible like 'When', 'what', 'Where' and why????
With this if you cant answer any technical questions, they would see your motivation to answer a question by getting important information about the subject.
