About the Black Mehndi Dress & Qawali Night Lehenga Choli
Black Pakistani Mehndi Dress & Qawali Night Lehenga Choli in Korean Raw Silk
Lakshmi is a luxurious Black Pakistani Mehndi Dress and Qawali Night Lehenga Choli by Waqas Shah, designed with flora and fauna thread, tilla and sequin motifs inspired by a dark night sky. The Korean Raw Silk choli has a V-shaped neckline hand-embellished with crystals, pearls and zardozi, paired with a richly worked flared Korean Raw Silk lehenga and a Pure Organza dupatta finished with a four-sided embellished border. Made to order in your custom size, Lakshmi is a striking choice for the bride at her mehndi, dholki and qawali night, and equally beautiful for the bride's sisters, bridesmaids, cousins and friends at any wedding celebration.
How to Style Lakshmi
Black is an unexpected choice for a mehndi and works best where the lighting is warm — a qawali night or an evening dholki rather than a daytime function. The tilla and sequin motifs lift against the dark base under lamp light, so pair Lakshmi with gold or polki jewellery rather than silver, and keep the hair away from the shoulders so the V-neckline and its crystal and zardozi work stay in view.
