Stylish Ways To Drape The Dupatta On Lehenga Choli
The aspect that makes Indian traditional clothes beautiful is its versatility. No matter if you buy a saree or a lehenga choli online, you cannot look good in it until and unless you drape it well. When it comes to draping, there are several ways in which you can make a fashion statement. Here are some of the most stylish and popular ways to drape a dupatta on lehenga choli:
Front flow dupatta style
This spells class and elegance. So, if you are the simple, elegant type, this is undoubtedly the drape for you. This drape involves pleating the dupatta neatly and pinning it on the left shoulder, so that it falls back till your knee. The front part should be reaching the floor, which needs be folded up and brought over your forearm. However, you need to be very careful about how you carry the dupatta. Make sure it does not slip off your arm. It may not be ideal for your marriage ceremony, but it is fine for the reception.
Double-sided drape style
This style is pretty interesting as it is a graceful combination of the ulta and seedha pallu style. To get this look you need to tuck the top corner of the dupatta in the lehenga on a little left from the navel. Wrap it around the hips and throw it over your left shoulder like a saree. Now you have seedha pallu look.
Next, you bring the other free end of the dupatta from under your left arm and tuck it to the same point where you did your first tuck. Make sure the second end goes under the first one. When you are done with draping it properly, you get a seedha pallu look from the right side and an ulta pallu look from the left.
The casual drape style
If you buy lehenga choli online and the set happens to have a heavily embroidered blouse, you can opt to drape your dupatta the casual way. The main aim of this style is not to hide the blouse but flaunt it. To get the look, tuck one end of the dupatta on the left side of your waist, then take it behind your left hand over your head. Allow the dupatta to rest over your right shoulder.
There’s another style. Here, instead of leaving the dupatta loose at the back, you can allow it to flow freely on the front and wrap the loose end of the fabric to your wrist.
Back “U” dupatta style
If your dupatta has a lot of heavy embroidery, this is surely the style to go for. Pleat the dupatta at one end, arrange them neatly and pin it to the left shoulder in a way so that the dupatta falls forward a little lower than your waist. The other end of the fabric needs to be brought to the front on the right side.
You can either wrap it around your right wrist or tuck the same to your lehenga, so that you get a nice ‘U’ shape at your back.
No matter if you have bought lehenga choli online for your D-day or that of your sister’s, draping your dupatta in any of the above mentioned ways will surely fetch you compliments at the party.
