Sheer Glory:The grand Indian Lehenga Choli
The lehenga choli, which is also known as ghagra choli in some parts of India, has its roots in a type of three-piece attire worn by women in ancient times. The ensemble consisted of a draped lower garment called Antriya, which was a white or colourful cotton strip of fabric that was passed through the legs and tucked in at the back. What started off as a humble garb of common women in the rural areas of Rajasthan and Gujarat has over the centuries seen the verge of many different varieties ,some of which were much finer and more expensive than their daily wear cousins.
Lehengas have been a bridal favourite for many decades for their versatility of style and their ability to make any woman feel like she’s living a fairy-tale. In fact lehengas are preferred by women for any traditional Indian occasion especially by those who are younger as they aren’t as cumbersome as sarees and don’t require much in the way of draping. But lehengas are no longer restricted to the brides but is a major hit with the family ranging from the little toddlers to the aging beauties of the families, each adding flare to the aura.
While every generation brings with it ,its foregoing traditions & heritage, the modern lehenga as we know it today has been through its own evolutionary journey . We are not only open to trying the varied cultures but also on a lookout for the latest trends.
Lets take a look at some of the leading lehenga trends!
NET LEHENGA CHOLI
One of the best parts about the increased love and appreciation of ethnic wear is that many traditional garments are being re-invented and explored to their full potential. The best example of this would be the net lehenga choli, a fabulous designer innovation which has taken the ethnic fashion world by storm in the last few years and still remains a personal favourite.
Though it is an open fabric in which threads are woven in an open check pattern, they are held together by a strong method of weaving, knitting or crochet. It is distinguished from other open, woven fabrics with holes because of its fine appearance and soft, elegant drape. This what makes net an ideal fabric for a lehenga choli .
The best time to flaunt a designer net lehenga choli is a wedding, where glamorous yet traditional ethnic wear is the norm. At an opulent wedding function, it is best to go all out with the styling.
