Designer Choli to Go With Your Designer Lehengas

Women understand that choosing a right choli can pump up the look and/or bring it down. There are many different designs and styles of choli blouse that you can select from; here are my top 3 personal favorite blouse designs that can go with any designer lehenga:

1. Velvet Touch Pair the simplest of the lehenga with a velvet blouse in a deep color and the look will be striking, to say the least. For one of my friend’s wedding, I bought a lehenga choli, you know how you can always wear such things once or twice, but I absolutely adored the lehenga and did not wish to put into the “never to see again” area of my closet. The lehenga is white but has an embroidered border which featured colors of gold, red and blue, so I decided to revamp my old lehenga look. I bought a red velvet blouse fabric, a beautiful lace in white and an embroidered golden lace. The blouse has a simple circular neck, I used the white lace for the sleeves and on the back I used the lace to give the look of a blouse tied with a knot, there were buttons though that fastened the choli. On the border, I used the golden lace which complemented the work on my lehenga.

Velvet has a rich texture and hence, makes for a wonderful fabric of choice to go with your designer lehenga.

1. Sequin

Sequins are always hot and they can pep up the look of any outfit. You can wear the simplest of lehenga or saree with a sequin blouse, the look will be utterly glamorous. I have a thing for lehengas, I think they are perfect for all body types and you can wear them to any occasion, where you want to get an elaborate look. Every women loves designer lehengas, so do it, but I do not like to spend so much on a lehenga just because I am buying it from a store, when I can easily get similar outfits on other online portals or buy designer lehenga fabric online and then get it stitched in a certain style.

For my parents 25th anniversary, I got a pastel pink lehenga, the blouse was embroidered and it was in fact quite pretty but I wanted to bling it on, so I bought a sequin fabric in silver, I wanted to get a high neck blouse with sheer net fabric on the shoulder and neck and sequin fabric thereafter. Using the lace from my original blouse piece, I got a sequin, high neck blouse stitched to a style that really looked amazing with the pastel pink lehenga.

1. Corset

Well, this is not a style that I have experimented with myself but my sister did and trust me she looked absolutely stunning. The inspiration for her corset blouse and designer lehenga combination was the amazing piece worn by Jacqueline Fernandez, designed by Anju Modi that she wore in the Lakme Fashion Week. The embroidered corset blouse featuring heavy embroidery work all over and full sleeves, does show a little extra skin, so if you are comfortable with that, this is a great choli design. A piece of advice here, even if you are not comfortable showing so much of skin, you can drape the dupatta in a way that will hide most of what is showing. Corset blouse look great when carrying embroidery and design work in golden resham, zari, zardosi with contrasting colors like red/green/coffee/blue and others.

Designer lehengas and party wear lehengas have three important elements, whenever you wear a lehenga; one of the elements should the highlight while the others should appeal as the accomplice. If you are getting the blouse stitched and designed in an extravagant way, do not keep the dupatta, drape style and hairstyle complicated, as this would create a confusing look. Rather, let one of the elements gather the most attention and admiration.
