Fabric Selection Before Buying Lehenga

The choice of fabric can influence greatly the comfort of wearing your lehenga. Before choosing a lehenga choli online, it is essential to know what fabric would suit you and your body type best.

The weather and the location of the occasion should not be overlooked either. In case of summer and day time outdoor event, airy fabrics such as net or georgette will look more appropriate than heavy material. Whereas winter wedding or evening reception requires royal and more structured drapes like silk or velvet.

Below you can learn more about the different types of fabrics used in lehenga cholis:

SILK: The regal, lustrous and luxurious fabric to make lehengas (such as our Fendi style lehenga cholis made of silk), that will definitely catch attention during your wedding or reception. Embroidery and zari and mirror work look amazing on this type of material.

NET:One of the most popular fabrics for lehenga cholis. Lightweight, semi-transparent and elegant. Net is one of the top choices for Sangeet or other celebrations due to its festive look especially if the fabric is decorated with mirror work, sequins and embroidery.

VELVET: Luxurious, heavy and solid material that will fit perfectly for winter wedding and evening occasions. Due to good draping abilities and structured flare it will flatter curves and hourglass shapes in particular.

CHINNON: A mat, textured fabric that is embroidered with beautiful zari work in an elegant manner. The chinnon lehenga is a wonderful combination of being elegant and party wear, making it appropriate for reception or evening wear.

Lehenga Choli for Every Occasion

It's extremely versatile and with the right styling, will fit in every celebration that takes place in your life.

WEDDINGS Want to get a lehenga for yourself on your big day? Or do you need one for attending somebody else's wedding? Whatever your purpose, this outfit is still the best choice for a wedding whether it's a traditional red silk lehenga or an innovative jewel tone corset.

RECEPTION AND COCKTAIL For evening receptions and cocktails, opt for a more glamorous look with corset style blouses, mirror work and contemporary silhouettes. Think of deep purple, black and metallic lehengas.

SANGEET AND MEHENDI The sangeet lehenga requires shine and movement which means that it's better to choose circular lehengas with sequin work and zari. For mehendi parties, wear net or chinnon lehengas in yellow and green colors.

ENGAGEMENT Choose soft hues such as blush pink, dusty lavender and sky blue with delicate embroidery for engagement ceremony or pre-wedding photoshoots.

FESTIVAL EVENTS Whether it is Diwali, Eid or Teej, festivals require bright colors and sparkle. So wear zari, sequin or mirror work lehengas in coral, teal and burnt orange hues.

DESTINATION WEDDING Take into consideration the place and weather conditions. For a beach destination wedding, choose delicate net or chinnon lehengas that will dance in oceanic breezes. For a mountainous destination wedding, go for a luxurious look with velvet or silk lehengas.

How to Style with Your Lehenga Choli

Your accessories will speak about the message you want to give with your lehenga. Just a few styling ideas can go a long way.

JEWELRY For pastel lehengas, opt for jewelry made of polki or kundan, gold, or silver. If your lehenga is a deep or saturated color, wear contrasting jewelry — for example, emeralds with a pink lehenga or gold with a jewel-colored lehenga. For an elaborately decorated lehenga, keep jewelry to a minimum.

DUPATTA STYLING Your draping style of the dupatta changes your whole look completely. A classic one-shoulder draping can fit most body types, whereas a modern and stylish cape-like style will look very sophisticated.

FOOTWEAR For a long wedding event, make sure to take both style and comfort into account. Choose block heels or wedge-shaped shoes for the right balance between height and comfort, and embellished flats and juttis for a night of dancing.

HAIR & MAKEUP A classic hairstyle with flowers or hairpin is elegant and timeless. The modern twist would be a side braid with a touch of embellishments which can complement contemporary lehenga shapes such as corsets.

Care and Maintenance of Your Lehenga Choli

The lehenga choli that you buy is one of the most significant investments that you can make as you get ready for special occasions in your life. Here are a few things that will help in maintaining your lehenga choli in pristine condition.

Dry-clean your lehenga choli after each wear, particularly if you have one with a lot of embroidery, mirrors, and sequins.
Do not store it in plastic bags but rather fold it nicely and keep it in a breathable cotton garment bag.
Do not pack it along with other clothes when storing it as you want some room left for the fabric and embellishments.
If you are hanging the lehenga choli, use padded hangers rather than wire hangers.

Budget and Shopping Tips for Buying a Lehenga Choli

Prices of lehengas may vary greatly depending on the material, its quality, and type of embroidery. Budgeting will significantly simplify the whole process of choosing your attire.

FABRIC The price of silk and velvet is always higher compared to that of net and chinnon because of the fabric and weave type.

LEVEL OF EMBROIDERY Hand stitching (zari, mirror work, etc.) will increase the total price. Think about the amount of embroidery which you consider necessary for your particular event.

THINK ABOUT RE-USABILITY You should think about whether you would like to wear it again for another event. It will help you choose colors and fabrics which could be used again.
