(long skirt) and the choli (blouse), however in contemporary and modern usage lehenga
choli is the most popular and widely accepted term by fashion designers, trendsetters
and boutiques in South Asia.
TERMS AND HISTORY
Historically, the ghagra choli evolved from three-piece attire worn by women in ancient
India. The attire consisted of the (antriya) lower garment, the (uttariya velli) over the
shoulder or head, and (stanapatta) a chest band, which finds mention in Sanskrit
literature and Buddhist Pali literature subcontinent.
CHOLI
A choli (ravike in South India) is a midriff-baring blouse commonly worn with a saree
attire. It evolved from ancient stanapatta (also known as kanchuki ) and is cut to fit
tightly to the body with its short sleeves and a low neck. The choli is usually cropped,
allowing exposure to the navel.
LEHENGA
Lehenga also known as chaniya is a form of a long skirt. It is secured at the waist or
hips and leaves the lower back and midriff bare. The ancient version of the skirt or
ghagra evolved from bhairnivasani, which in turn evolved from the antriya when
stitching on one side became tabular and was worn gathered at the waist and held by a
girdle. The lehenga was 6 feet (1.8m) long. Lehengas were made from two to three
layers of coarse khadi fabric which created a large, flared look and remind plain but
were decorated with gota and badla work on special occasions.
DUPATTA
The dupatta or chunni is worn with a lehenga and choli. Until the early 21st century, the
dupatta was the most decorative part of the lehenga choli. Dupatta is worn in many
regional styles across India. The dupatta is traditionally seen as a symbol of modesty.
There is no single way of wearing it, so as time passed and fashion changed, the styling
of the dupatta also evolved.
FABRICS
The lehenga choli is made up of several fabrics such as silk, cotton, brocade, khadi
georgette, satin, net, and chiffon. Although designers have successfully used various
fabrics for lehenga choli silk is still the preferred fabric.
DECORATIVE STITCHING
Apart from the fabric, decorative stitching patterns also play a major role. Lehengas
