Lehenga Style

Lehengas are ankle length long pleated skirts secured around the waist. The skirt is flowing and flares around the wearer.

The length of tribal embroidered lehenga varied between knee to ankle, whereas that of richer people was always long enough to touch the floor as they moved.

Traditonally, all lehengas were skirt type umbrella shaped. Today, in the fashion market, however, there are different shapes of the lehengas giving a modern look to the ethnic dress.

The various styles are:

• Straight cut lehengas
• Fish tail lehengas
• Mermaid lehengas
• Paneled lehengas
• Kali ghagras lehengas
• Circular lehengas
• A-line lehengas
• Lehengas with full flair and so on.

All these lehenga-cholis in any fabric whether cotton, silk, chiffon, georgette with their glittering mirror-work, heavy embroidery, sequins and zari work look very attractive and desired by all.
