Hey! Its
Gorgeous... (Feb
16th, 2008) - It’s time marriage season in Chennai and let’s unravel
an upcoming trend of clothing for the bride this season. Kancheevaram silk
draped in gujarati style is passé. Brides of today prefer lehanga choli
(modified version of ghagara choli) to look stunning on the most important day
of their life. The heroines of the eve accessorize their lehanga’s with
imitation yet heavily worked jewellery. Lehanga choli was very popular among
royal ladies of the Mughal times. At that time it was considered as a dress that
had the ability to bedeck Indian beauty in the most modest manner. Using the
basic embroidery colors of red, black, green, yellow, white and orange and
rendered with cotton and silk threads lehanga-cholis have revived the old
stitches and elevated embroidery into a trend. It has a look of evening glamour.
The cost of heavily worked lehanga choli could range from 10,000 to even more
than a lakh. This ready made attire takes lesser time for the bride to get
dressed and easier to carry off herself without signs of being uncomfortable.
The lehanga (the skrit) weighs more than three k.gs yet looks ravishing that it
can be borne......
