Every year, we see a lot of new varieties in women’s fashion. These varieties can be found in all types of garments. For example, a wedding collection by TheHLabel is released every year and every time they have ethnic clothes including kurtas, lehengas and sarees. The point to note here is that the fashion designing of these outfits is different every year.

Every brand does the same, especially with lehengas. Be it a wedding or a festival, a lehenga is every woman’s first choice. They look beautiful and chic. These are available in a lot of fashion designs and styles so women can choose the one that suits them perfectly and also the occasion.

But instead of going out, you can also create your own fashion designs for the upcoming season. You can learn fashion designing and create stunning lehengas from the comfort of your home. From choosing the right fabric to pleating the lehenga properly, you will be guided by experts until you learn to craft them stylishly by yourself.

Also, the love for personalised items has grown immensely in recent years in India. This personalisation is done with everything. For example, if it’s your brother’s wedding then even your Mehendi would have ‘#BhaiKiShaadi’. The hashtag means your brother’s wedding and how more can you personalize yourself with the occasion? The same happens with outfits too.

Fashion Designing Lehengas You Can Create

Saree is the simplest attire for women in India and yet there are so many types in which sarees and blouses can be found. There are uncountable embellishments and thread works done on sarees and kinds of blouses which you can find in the market.

We understand that lehengas can be expensive and you may not find the one which would brighten up your eyes and make you smile with just a look at it. So, instead of spending so much going from one store to another, you can now create a lehenga for yourself.

Here are 7 types of fashion designing lehengas you can create from home,

Gota Patti Lehenga

Gota Patti is a stitching technique, originating from the state of traditions- Rajasthan. This process is also known as Gota-Kinari Work. It uses small pieces of zari in various available colours like silver, copper or gold. The stitching of these various zari to the fabric gives it a bling effect. The best part about gota patti lehengas is that it looks heavy but when you wear it, you will realise that the outfit is lightweight.

A-Line Lehenga

An A-line lehenga forms a perfect ‘A’ on the person who wears it. It is tight on the waist and flares out as it goes down. The important thing to notice about this type of lehenga is that it has fewer pleats when compared to other lehengas. These are ideal for a traditional yet trendy look. The hemline of the lehenga makes it more glamorous. You can style this with a gorgeous blouse or a crop-top and add statement jewellery to enhance your overall look.

Panelled Lehenga

A Panelled lehenga is an excellent choice for weddings and engagement parties. It has panels that are attached at the end of the hemline to increase the volume of the flare and to add a contrasting design. You can accessorise this lehenga with statement earrings, a clutch and high heel for a stunning look.
