Styles of Bridal Lehenga
Description of a Lehenga A lehenga is one of the most common traditional Indian garments. At one time it was part of daily wear of women in certain parts of the country. However, nowadays it is use only for special occasions such as weddings, engagements and festivals. The entire outfit comprises of a full length skirt, a blouse or choli and a dupatta. The skirt or the lehenga itself is tied at the waist. It reaches below the ankles and in many designs it even trails over the ground. The blouse, also called the choli, is a fitted top that may also reveal the midriff.

It has tight sleeves and a decorative neckline. The dupatta or chunni is a embroidered stole which matches the rest of the outfit. It is either draped around the neck or arranged over the shoulder to fall in elegant pleats. Lehenga Style A bride has four different options in terms of lehenga styles. The first is the fishtail suit lehenga which is body hugging till the knees and then flows out in numerous flares. Another style is the straight cut lehenga which drapes parallel to the legs in a similar manner to that of a wraparound skit.

The A line cut is also very popular. It has an inverted cone like shape with the skirt being tight at the waist and then flaring out till the ankle. The last and most popular is the flared lehenga which is heavily pleated and gives a royal look. The flared lehenga is extremely elegant but it is also very heavy. Fabrics used in making lehengas Bridal lehengas are usually made of rich fabrics that are thick, have high shine and a good drape.
