Default How many of you like Lahenga Choli?

Hi all,

I like Lahenga Choli very much.Especially on my marriage I took 1 month to decide my wedding lehnga.My wedding Lahenga was quiet heavy.

As all of you know lahenga is a traditional Indian dress of women of North India.Lahenga worn below waistline and extends to the toe, upper part of the body is covered with a Choli.Its more like blouse.

Gujrat and Rajasthan countryside ladies also wear Lahenga choli.They called it Ghagra Choli or Lahenga Odni.Their cholis are often loosely fitted and heavily ornamented with embroidery and mirror work, or shisha embroidery.All are almost similar.

So share how many of you wore sari and how many Lahenga-Choli on your wedding.

Hi kssv,

I think lahenga choli is very similar to pattu sarees.In north India,you can get lahenga choli from any clothes store.

As far wearing is concern its very easy just like long skirt and short top.All you need to arrange chunni properly.Nowadays many sites are available for giving tips and tricks for dressing. they will help you a lot giving information like what to buy,where to buy,how to wear bla-bla.

Let me give you an example I had very long hair.I was confused how to change style which suits me.Then I got one site where I uploaded my photo ,tried everystyle.Then I came to a good conclusion without ant regression.

All you need to put efforts for searching a good site.No need to worry gradually you will learn how to wear Lahenha-choli.Just try it

Regards,
Namita
