It's the lehenga that makes all the difference in enhancing your curve of the body. You love wearing embroidered lehengas, or perhaps silk lehengas, or maybe designer ones. Well, all of these demand knowledge about what suits your body. So, here's a guide for you on choosing the right lehenga which suits your silhouette.


1. For Pear-Shaped Body: A-Line Lehengas


If your hips are larger than your shoulders, then you probably are a pear-shaped body type. For this, A-line lehenga is quite appropriate for you as it flares out from the waist, making your whole proportion balance out. An embroidered lehenga with intricacy at the upper part might catch more attention to the slimmer top part.


2. Apple-Shaped Body: Wear High-Waist Lehengas


High-waist silk lehengas will give an illusion that you have a more defined waist if you have a more rounded tummy. This lehenga having minimal embroidery on the skirt and having more elaborate cholis or blouses may divert focus to the upper section of your body, accentuating your curves. It is a great one to be well-balanced.


3. Hug Your Curves in Mermaid-Style Lehengas


The hour-glass body is stunning on designer lehengas with the mermaid or fishtail type, where shoulders and hips are well-balanced, and the waist is properly defined. The lehengas seem to hug your curves and flare out beautifully at the bottom of it, giving it an excellent illusion of your curvy figure. Lehengas made of silk with intricately embroidered borders give a glamorous finish.


4. Rectangular Body: Adding Curves with Layered Lehengas


A rectangular body type has very few curves, and so the intention is to give the illusion of volume. You should opt for layered or ruffled lehengas, which add volume and make your waist more prominent. Lehengas with heavy work on the skirt can also give you a fuller look and stress your waistline.


5. Petite Body: Go for light fabrics and minimal work.


If you have a petite body, heavy, voluminous lehengas can swallow your body. Choose designer lehengas with lighter fabrics such as georgette or chiffon. Lehengas of silk with minute embroidery are sure to give you an elongated and elegant silhouette. Do not layer as it will add bulk to the body. Choose vertical detailing on lehengas to create an illusion of length.




6. Tall and Slender Body: Play with Bold Prints and Heavy Embroidery


A long and lean body can afford bold prints and ample embroidery easily. Opt for heavy, ornate embroidered lehengas that flatter your body. Silk lehengas with broad borders also interrupt the vertical line and add volume, thereby making you look well-balanced and beautiful as an entity.


7. Big Body: Select Loose and Sturdy Lehengas


For plus size, structured lehengas with a lot of flare can really become a flattery for the right figure. Raw silk and velvet form a rather sophisticated pair. A well-designed lehenga by any designer with vertical embroidery does definitely elongate one's figure, while a fitting blouse marks the definition right across the upper half of the body and round shapes.


8.  Add embroidery work as well as pleats for muscular body


Pleats and embroidery will soften the lehengas and add a feminine touch. Lehengas in silk with intricate designs will add volume and give you a balanced silhouette. You can enhance your look with a blouse having embellishments or unique cuts.


Conclusion


The perfect lehenga comes knowing your body type and the things that make you enhance your best features. Irrespective of the kind you have, embroidered lehengas, silk lehengas, or designer lehengas, with the correct fit and style, it will make you look really confident and gorgeous. Go for your shape and flaunt your beauty through lehenga.
