LEHNGA CHOLI

1. **Lehenga (Skirt)**:

   - The lehenga is usually crafted from rich fabrics like silk, georgette, or cotton, depending on the occasion and preference.

   - The entire skirt, or parts of it such as the hemline, waistband, or panels, are embellished with mirror work. The mirrors are typically sewn into the fabric using colorful threads, creating geometric, floral, or abstract patterns.

   - The lehenga often features heavy borders with intricate mirror work combined with zari (gold or silver thread), adding an extra layer of grandeur.

   - The flare of the lehenga can range from moderate to dramatic, giving it a voluminous, regal look.

2. **Choli (Blouse)**:

   - The choli, like the lehenga, is adorned with mirror work, often concentrated around the neckline, sleeves, or bust area.

   - It can have different designs, such as backless, halter neck, or high neck, depending on the wearer’s preference. The mirrors on the choli enhance the overall sparkle of the outfit.

   - The fit of the choli is typically snug to contrast with the voluminous lehenga, creating a balanced silhouette.

3. **Dupatta (Scarf)**:

   - The dupatta is usually lightweight, made from fabrics like chiffon or net, allowing the mirror work on the lehenga and choli to take center stage.

   - It often has mirror work borders or scattered mirrors throughout to complement the lehenga and choli.

   - The dupatta is draped elegantly over the shoulder or across the chest, adding to the overall charm of the outfit.

**Color Palette**: Mirror work lehengas are often seen in bright, festive colors like vibrant reds, pinks, yellows, and blues, but they also look stunning in softer shades like pastels or neutrals.

This style is especially popular for weddings, sangeet ceremonies, and festive occasions, where the sparkle of the mirrors catches the light, making the outfit stand out.
