Lehenga for Women

About

A lehenga is a three-piece outfit: a flared skirt, a fitted blouse (choli) and a dupatta. It is the standard choice for Indian weddings, receptions and major festivals, and unlike a saree it needs no draping to wear. Trendia stocks lehengas from independent Indian labels in silk, georgette, velvet, net and chanderi, across bridal, guest and party weight. Both ready-to-wear and semi-stitched pieces are available, and orders ship across the USA with duties covered.

Budget one to two weeks for a tailor, and longer in wedding season when tailors are busy. Browse semi-stitched lehengas if you have the time, or the express range if the event is close.
