Picking a silhouette for the Baraat

A lehenga choli pairs a fitted choli, short or floor-length, with a skirt of 12 or 14 kalis held out by a cancan, with no train to manage. A farshi lehenga pairs a longer shirt with a circular skirt that spreads across the floor, and many designs include a train; if yours does, allow extra handling on stairs. Compare our farshi lehenga styles. A farshi gharara stays fitted to the knee and then opens into a floor-length flare. For one long line from shoulder to hem, a pishwas or an open gown can be worn over a lehenga, while a closed bridal gown gives another full-length silhouette.

Color, fabric and handwork

Traditional Baraat palettes centre on deep red and maroon with gold embroidery, with burgundy, wine and rust close behind; lighter directions include ivory, gold, silver, baby pink and ice blue. Baraat bridal embroidery often combines dabka, zari, nakshi, kora and salma sitara with sequins and pearls, while some designs also use zardozi, cutdana or gota. Fabrics used across Baraat bridal designs include organza, tissue silk, net and velvet for tops; tissue silk, American katan silk, organza and jamawar for skirts; and organza, chiffon or masuri for dupattas.

Fit and changes

Choose a standard size from XS to XL in our size guide, or Custom Size, stitched exactly to the measurements you send; our team contacts you after you order to confirm them, and if you fall between two sizes, take the larger one. You can ask for a different color, sleeve, neckline, length or flare. Anything that adds fabric, embroidery or labor is priced and approved before work starts, and you can ask for progress photos and close-up videos while your dress is made.

A bridal order canceled within 24 hours is refunded in full; after that and before it ships, 35% of the amount paid is deducted.
