Lengha choli, (Langa or Lehnga) are available for women of all sizes. Lengha Cholis have a beautiful history in India. When the Moguls invaded India in early BC they brought this unique skirt and blouse combination with them. Today’s bride is more likely to wear a Lengha Choli to her wedding than a sari due to the heavy weight of bridal saris. Women of all ages also love Lenghas for formal occasions and dress occasions. Women just can not go wrong with a fashion item that has been in fashion for hundred of years.
Extremely beautiful and suitable to all female shapes, Lenghas are often hand decorated in the traditional designs of India such as zardozi embroidery. During the period of Indian royalty, these Lehnga designs became legendary and were made with real gold, silver and precious stones. Just as in ancient times, these Lehnga suits are still hand decorated to keep it as true to tradition as possible.
During initial times, the lehnga was merely a piece of fabric tied around the waist with the ends of the cloth left loose. The fabric was held at the waist with a metal girdle. But soon with the increase in its popularity, the lehnga went through various transitions to suit the convenience of the women. The ends of the waist fabric were stitched. To make it more comfortable, its narrow width was increased by introducing more pleats on the waist, so as to make it easy to walk for the women. The metal girdle was replaced by stitching a peace of cloth to the waist of the lehngas called nepaha and a piece of rope running through is called nara.
