The Secret to Wearing Lehengas...

Thursday 31 October 2013

Here in the UK the Lehenga, (a long skirt + blouse & scarf combination) is a seriously forgotten item of clothing.  Personally I think here in the UK we live under the idea, that a Lehengha is a traditional item of Indian clothing that is reserved only for Brides & Bollywood Stars. I however completely disagree!

It seems to me that young women here never really consider wearing a Lehenga to a Wedding Reception, Engagement, Sangeet Night or Mehndi, when you absolutely should. I'm going to try to remedy that and help you not only see the beauty in wearing a Lehenga but also help you feel more confident in taking a risk to actually wear one!

I think the record needs to be set straight a little, a Lehengha is not only worn by Brides! In fact over in the East, it is considered a regular evening wear outfit of choice by girls and women of all ages!

I think there are a few simple steps and rules to wearing a Lehenga and getting those right is the best way to make sure that you feel confident in wearing one...


The Rules


Rule 1: Echoing the famous words- Less is ALWAYS more when wearing a Lehenga… 

Rule 2: Make sure you choose the right shape of Lehenga, whether it be fishtail, A-Shape, Full   
             Circle, know what style suits you best...

Rule 3: Know that there are different way to wear a Duputta/Chunni (scarf) and make sure you 
             choose a style that suits the Lehenga best but also makes you feel comfortable...

Rule 4: Don't be afraid of wearing a short Blouse, for some strange unknown reason we are happy to 
             wear short blouse with a 'sari' but not with a Lehenga, essentially a sari and a Lehenga are 
             very similar, why not transform your Lehenga to look like a sari by draping your Duputta 
             across the front of the Lehenga?!

Rule 5: Choose the right style and the amount of accessories , if the Lehenga is quite heavy 
             don't over do it with the accessories, if the work is quite traditional for example keep the 
             jewellery rustic too, maybe try something as simple as a maang tikka!

Rule 6: Know that different types of embroidery work will have different types of effects on a 
             Lehenga, by that I mean for example a heavy stone encrusted Lehenga will look more 
             Bridal, but a simple Lehenga with Gota Work will look fun and effortlessly youthful and 
             not at all Bridal...


These lehengas are fun and striking and use embroidery work that is stunning 


This coral Amrita Thakur and gold and turquoise Arpita Mehta creation demonstrates Rule number 1 & 6 perfectly Gota Work for example just looks so simple and charming on a simple silhouette 





The key is in how you drape that Duputta, try wrapping it around like in the pictures above to create the illusion of a sari whilst still allowing those beautiful blouses to shine through

  5. Purchasing YouTube subscribers can significantly enhance the prominence and appeal of a YouTube channel. It provides an immediate boost in subscriber count, encouraging more natural viewers to consider the content worthy of their time. This practice can lead to improved visibility in search results, as YouTube's algorithms often favor channels with higher subscriber numbers, considering them to be more authoritative. Furthermore, a large subscriber base can attract brand deals and sponsorships, as companies tend to partner with channels that exhibit a high potential for wide-reaching impact. It creates a perception of popularity, which can be pivotal for new content creators looking to gain a foothold in a competitive landscape. Finally, reaching subscriber milestones quicker can unlock new YouTube features and monetization opportunities, facilitating a channel's growth and potential earnings.

  7. Purchasing YouTube subscribers in India is increasingly becoming a strategy for content creators looking to quickly enhance their channel's visibility and authority within the Indian market. By paying for a specific number of Indian subscribers, creators hope to make their channels appear more popular and credible, which, in theory, could attract more genuine viewers from the region. This approach is particularly appealing in a country with a vast and diverse audience, where standing out amidst a sea of content can be challenging. However, the practice carries substantial risks, including the breach of YouTube's guidelines, which could lead to severe penalties such as the suspension of the channel. Furthermore, these bought subscribers are unlikely to engage with the content, resulting in low interaction metrics, which are crucial for a channel's organic growth. While the allure of quick growth is understandable, this method does little to build a committed and engaged subscriber base, which is vital for long-term success on the platform.
