Lehengas have long been a mainstay in Indian ethnic fashion. But recently, designer lehengas for girls have experienced a sudden surge in popularity due to their modern cuts, intricate embroidery work and luxurious fabrics. Girls today want their traditional attire to make just as big an impression as Western wear does and leading designers have responded by providing little princesses with tempting lehenga selections.
Eye-Catching Colors and Prints
Gone are the days of boring lehengas with muted colors; today's girls' lehenga cholis feature vibrant and exciting hues and prints sure to make an impactful statement about who wears them. Bright pinks, sunny yellows, sassy greens and vibrant orange hues stand out alongside playful prints like polka dots, floral patterns, traditional paisleys and bold geometric motifs to ensure they stand out among others.
Lehengas featuring gota patti borders, mirror work and thread embroidery in various vibrant hues represent the playful spirit of girls and showcase their bright and lively personalities.
Stylish Silhouettes
While traditional flared lehengas still hold appeal for girls, designers are also exploring more contemporary silhouettes. Lehngas with wide or slim pants featuring wide legs or slim ankles have become fashionable recently, as have short kurti-style cholis that show a hint of midriff for an exciting modern look. Fusion style indo-western lehengas combine ethnic skirt with smart cropped jacket while off-shoulder/cold shoulder cholis/long flared anarkalis/paneled skirts offer variety.
Lavish Embellishments
What truly elevates a girls’ designer lehenga is the lavish embellishment. Intricate embroidery and ornamentation with threads, beads, sequins, mirrors, stones, and applique work is the hallmark of heirloom quality kids lehenga today. Zardozi work, hand done thread embroidery, pearl accents, crystals, and bead detailing lend a luxurious finish. The borders are highlighted with floral vines, paisley or scalloped patterns outlined with thick gota patti or zari threads and kundan stones. Mirror-work and sequins catch the light dazzlingly. Fancy cut dana and stones arranged in floral and abstract motifs elevate the lehenga choli set into a work of art.
Fabulous Fabrics
The fabrics used for girls designer lehengas today are as beautiful as the embellishments. Customarily worn fabrics like silk, organza, net, velvet and brocade are still prized. In addition, modern mixes like tissue silk, Pearlite fabric with a sheen, crushed tissues that hold shape well, and Dupion silk with a subtle sheen are also popular. Using lush fabrics like raw silk, crepe, georgette and satin for the choli or dupatta balances the look. Opting for the same color but different textured fabrics for the three pieces offers variety while retaining coordination. Look at the Kids Salwar Kameez
