The middleclass wore shorter lehengas whereas the richer class wore very long lehengas. Depending on preference, the lehengas were stitched ankle length or left flowing in the ground which adds to the sophistication. What are the sections of a lehenga? It has 3 sections- the skirt with lots of gher called the lehenga, the choli or the blouse and the dupatta. The lehenga should have a lot of pleats and is stitched in chiffon, cotton, georgette, faux gerorgette, net and tissue. These lehengas are further adorned with beautiful intricate embroidery and tie and dye patterns to enhance the bright coloured lehenga. The choli must fit well and could be short, covering the breasts or long, like a jacket pattern. These cholis are further embellished with mirror, coloured stone works, kantha and tie and dye
