A lehenga, also known as a lehenga-choli is a three-piece ethnic attire. It’s mostly the lehenga and the choli that is heavily embroidered with kundan, zari and sequin work. The dupatta, on the other hand, is mostly finished with a fancy border. Therefore, it is the complete set that looks grand and chosen for occasions.
The lehenga-choli dates back to the 10th century, a time of the Mughal empire. Women, especially the ones from Northern India were seen dressed in lehengas. Originally, lehengas were stitched with cotton fabric but eventually, silk, satin, velvet, brocade and other heavy fabrics were used to give it a rich look. Other than the fabric, the use of intricate embroidery with sequin and zardosi work adds to its elegance.
Keeping the rich look of the lehenga-choli in mind, many women prefer wearing it for functions, parties, festivals, etc. Over the years, lehengas have evolved into various styles. Some of the most popular styles are the fishtail lehenga, straight-cut lehenga, flared lehenga, etc. while the lancha and sharara lehenga are the two new variations added to the trend.
