10 Lehenga Cholis that Will Make Your Daughter Look Like an Indian Princess! How to Choose and Style the Right Lehenga for Kids (2020)

As part of the traditional line of festive or party wear, Lehenga Choli is quite a hit even among the kids when it comes to ethnic wear. Designed, keeping in mind the comfort and a free-to-have-fun kind of styling, this traditional ensemble is no less competitive to create when compared to those designed for girls or adult women. Kids dressed in ethnic attire look adorable and beautiful in vibrant colours and add to the fun and festivities around. One can find a wide range of kids' lehenga in bright colours with gorgeous embroidery work.

The lehenga choli sets are available for girls of all age groups, designed suitably with zari, sequins or ribbon work, aiming high in the realm of fashion in kids. You can choose lehengas in custom length, which your child can manage easily, can run around in or dance and play in comfortably, in a size that fits her the best. You can also mix and match cholis for the lehengas in different styles and sizes.

Selecting the right fabric for your girl’s lehenga is best chosen, keeping in mind the weather, your budget, the lehenga style and kind of embroidery or fabric work you’d like on it, not to forget the occasion she’d be wearing it for! It is best to avoid fabrics like velvet in summers and choose net or georgette with a cotton lining to protect your daughter’s delicate skin from developing rashes. During winters, you can experiment with fabrics like raw silk, banarasi silk and velvet. In terms of cost-effectiveness, while pure silk comes expensive, taffeta silk is an economically accessible fabric, while net is low priced anyway.

The make of a lehenga requires a free-flowing fabric, so thick fabric is best avoided. Fabrics like georgette, net and silk can contribute volume and flair to the skirt. As for styling, you can customize the lehenga with embroidery or hand work in velvet, raw silk or net, as the lighter fabrics may not be able to withstand heavy work in zardozi, stones or beads, and may also feel heavy on your child.

Apt usually for formal occasions and festivals, the traditional lehenga choli attire is best made in cotton or silk. With all kinds of fashionable designs and textures in a breathtaking fusion of colours, they look good on the kids.
