असंख्य महिलाएं थीं और उन सभी ने आधुनिक/फैशनेबल कपड़े पहने हुए थे।
I have translated "sea of women" as "numerous women" to adapt it as a natural Hindi expression.
1. dressed to the nines
Phrase that means perfectly dressed in the most fashionable attire. Would most likely be used in evening attire fashion such as being dressed for a formal occasion in which a person would dress their best to command as much respect and attention as possible.
