LEHNGA
Stitched as a long flared skirt with a zip at the side, it is made to the measurements of the wearer. The ensemble needs to be slipped in, fasten the zipper and drape the pallu over the shoulders. This is an outfit for ladies who are not comfortable with usual drapping and pleating that the regular saree demands. This style of saree’s pallu has the dramatic effect of the matching dupatta of the conventional Lehenga Choli.
Various types of Embroidery patterns are employed according to the Lehenga Style saree. Bagh, Chikan, Kashida, Kasuti, Kantha, Sozni, Shisha, Zardozi etc. are some of the commonly practiced Embroidery in Lehenga Style Saree.
Bagh is a special kind of Embroidery done by women in Punjab to be worn during festivals and weddings. Bagh embroidery completely hides the base fabric and is a very heavy kind of embroidery. This Embroidery on Lehenga Style Saree is exquisite as often the cloth is barely visible and only the beautiful embroidery is visible. Kashida is a Kashmiri Embroidery type. This is very colorful and depicts Kashmir in its patterns. The other famous embroidery on Lehenga sarees are Kantha work and Kasuti work of Bangalore.
Various rich and exquisite embellishments are used on Lehenga Style sarees patterns which include Silver embroidery, Golden embroidery, Metal beads, Real pearls, wood beads, glass beads, mirror work, lace work, Kundan, sequins, glittering stones, zardozi etc. Mostly rich fabrics like silk, georgette, brasso, brocade, chiffon, crepe etc are used in the making of a Lehenga style saree
The method of draping this type of Saree is quite simple and easy. It's easier and tassle free than draping a regular saree. The plain end of the saree is tucked into the in skirt, making one complete round, similar to wearing a regular saree. At this point, pleats are formed in a regular saree whereas when it comes to a Lehenga Style Saree, one continues to tuck in without making any pleats. In a Lehenga Style Saree, pleats are replaced with embellished gotas or panels at the front, which imparts a flared silhouette that is characteristic of a Lehenga Style Saree. Finally, the pallu is draped over the shoulder like a regular saree.
The only difference between a Lehenga style saree and a regular saree is that it doesn't require pleats to be formed at the front. Few Lehenga style saris come with side hooks too. Hook it and fix technique fits the Lehenga style saree snugly around the waist.
The most common style is for the sari to be wrapped around the waist, with the loose end of the drape to be worn over the shoulder, baring the stomach.However, the sari can be draped in several different styles, though some styles do require a sari of a particular length or form. The French cultural anthropologist and sari researcher Chantal Boulanger categorized sari drapes in the following families.
Nivi – styles originally worn in Andhra Pradesh; besides the modern nivi, there is also the kaccha nivi, where the pleats are passed through the legs and tucked into the waist at the back. This allows free movement while covering the legs.
BENGALI and BIHARI style.
Gujarati – this style differs from the nivi only in the manner that the loose end is handled: in this style, the loose end is draped over the right shoulder rather than the left, and is also draped back-to-front rather than the other way around.
Maharashtrian/Konkani/Kashta; this drape is very similar to that of the male Maharashtrian dhoti. The center of the sari (held lengthwise) is placed at the center back, the ends are brought forward and tied securely, then the two ends are wrapped around the legs. When worn as a sari, an extra-long cloth is used and the ends are then passed up over the shoulders and the upper body. They are primarily worn by Brahmin women of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Goa.
Dravidian – sari drapes worn in Tamil Nadu; many feature a pinkosu, or pleated rosette, at the waist.
Madisaara style – this drape is typical of Iyengar/Iyer Brahmin ladies from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala
Kodagu style – this drape is confined to ladies hailing from the Kodagu district of Karnataka. In this style, the pleats are created in the rear, instead of the front. The loose end of the sari is draped back-to-front over the right shoulder, and is pinned to the rest of the sari.
Gobbe Seere - This style is worn by women in the Malnad or Sahyadri and central region of Karnataka. It is worn with 18 molas saree with three four rounds at the waist and a knot after crisscrossing over shoulders.
Gond – sari styles found in many parts of Central India. The cloth is first draped over the left shoulder, then arranged to cover the body.
Malayali style - the two-piece sari, or Mundum Neryathum, worn in Kerala. Usually made of unbleached cotton and decorated with gold or colored stripes and/or borders. Also the Set-saree, a sort of mundum neryathum.
Tribal styles – often secured by tying them firmly across the chest, covering the breasts.
The nivi style is today's most popular sari style.
A highly embroidered wedding sariThe nivi drape starts with one end of the sari tucked into the waistband of the petticoat, usually a plain skirt. The cloth is wrapped around the lower body once, then hand-gathered into even pleats just below the navel. The pleats are also tucked into the waistband of the petticoat.They create a graceful, decorative effect which poets have likened to the petals of a flower.
After one more turn around the waist, the loose end is draped over the shoulder.The loose end is called the pallu or pallav or seragu or paita depending on the language. It is draped diagonally in front of the torso. It is worn across the right hip to over the left shoulder, partly baring the midriff.The navel can be revealed or concealed by the wearer by adjusting the pallu, depending on the social setting in which the sari is being worn. The long end of the pallu hanging from the back of the shoulder is often intricately decorated. The pallau may either be left hanging freely,tucked in at the waist, used to cover the head, or just used to cover the neck, by draping it across the right shoulder as well. Some nivi styles are worn with the pallu draped from the back towards the front,coming from the back over the right shoulder with one corner of the pallu tucked by the left hip, covering the torso/waist.

Maharaja Sherwani
The exclusive design patterns are attributed to the kings and maharajas of the bygone era, specifically the Mughal era. According to the craftsmen, who have been practicing the art, these designs were originated in the historical city of Agra in Uttar Pradesh. However, Maharaja designs do not only relate to the Mughal kings but also the Rajput kings during that period. A maharaja design on traditional attires is characterized by dense artwork and handwork. Mughal king designs and Rajput king designs can be differentiated from each other only in terms of motifs. Otherwise, both the patterns are equally popular and liked by one and all across India and the world.
What makes a Maharaja design worth craving is the wonderful collage of a variety of embroidery patterns and a range of handwork including dabka work, stone, naqshi work, zardozi work, mirror work, crystal work and sequence etc. These designs are mostly embossed and dense, just befitting the style and luxury of a maharaja.
Motifs created in the Maharaja design are inspired from nature, objects of mythology, flowers, birds and animals. If the Maharaja designs include only Mughali work, it is bound not to have motifs inspired from animals or birds. It is in accordance with the Muslim tradition that exhibits a Muslim to wear attires adorned with animal figures. Rajput Maharaja designs, however, can include animals, birds and other figures belonging to the Hindu mythology. In case, floral patterns are used as motifs, leaves are used to fill out the blank spaces. If the pattern features a sun, rays of the sun are used by craftsmen to fill out the spaces.
A:-The Pakistani design on Sherwanis is actually inspired by the Punjabis. Handwork representing the Pakistani design includes zari work, multi thread work and border embroidery work among others. The zari thread work comes in many colour variations which include silver, golden, maroon, green, turquoise etc.
B:-On a Rajasthani styled Sherwani, one can easily notice delicate embroidery work which includes handwork of stones, crystals and dabka work. Zari work is also extensively used when a Sherwani is designed in the Rajasthani style. To add to the elegance of the Sherwani, sparkling beads and pearls are also used. Studded with multiple colour gems and stones.
A Rajasthani design Sherwani is usually Angarkha style i.e. that is it has a side cut. The Sherwani open on one side rather than opening in the front middle part. The Rajasthani style Sherwanis have been in fashion right from the time of the maharajas.
The Rajputana designs are characterized by numerous mythological characters and historical themes. Usually, the design patterns carry figures of birds and animals relating to the Hindu mythology. While the remaining body part is done in threadwork and embroidery work, the central portion like the eyes of bird and animals are filled with beads, pearls and stones. Interesting geometric patterns are also commonly noticed in the Rajputana design
Wedding Sherwani
Sherwanis are a symbol of an age-old tradition and culture. Though Sherwanis are worn on a variety of occasions, wedding ceremonies never seem to acquire their full grandeur without them. Not only a wedding Sherwani provides an ethnic look but at the same time it reconnects us with the rich cultural heritage that we have been long known for. People are almost crazy when it comes to getting attired in a well crafted and eye-catching embroidered Sherwani. Sherwani fabrics are available in a wide range and you can choose a fabric that goes with your personality and suits the weather, be it winter season or summer time.
A wedding Sherwani is particularly popular for its dense embroidery, delicate hand work and other embellishments. To make you look your best on your wedding day, multiple types of handwork and embroidery work are available. These include crystal work, dabka work, zardozi embroidery, thread work and Swarovski work among others. These delicate embroidery patterns are created using a special kind of hook needle, locally known as Aari Tari needle. It takes many hard days of labour before a Sherwani is ready to be dressed in.
The embroidery work on a Sherwani may include the use of either precious stones or semi precious stones. Even if you are passionate about precious stone like neelam, pokhraj, manak and panna, your Sherwani can be studded with these. But if you are a little worried about the price, you can go for semi precious stones. Moti and pearl work are mostly liked by people looking for wedding Sherwanis. Imitation diamonds are available for a few thousands rupees per kg so you can choose these without worrying too much about the price. These precious stones are at time more brilliant than the real ones and are wear-free.

The origin of sherwani can be traced back in Central Asia during the times when it was the dress code of the Turkish and Persian nobles in the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire. In the late eighteenth century, almost every man wore sherwani, as this attire did not restrict itself only to the nobles, but became the traditional dress of common man. Sherwani is the national dress of men in Pakistan. The government officials in Pakistan usually wear the formal black Sherwani on the national functions. Whereas, in India, it is primarily worn on the occasion of traditional family functions.
