The choli is cut in pure Indian raw silk and covered in a gold paisley and floral jaal of aari work, heavy sequins and tilla; its front and back necklines and its scalloped hem are then finished by hand with zardozi, dabka, naqshi, sitara, pearls and tilla, with red stones set along the neckline border. The open back closes with gold tassels, and each sleeve carries a gold border and an embroidered motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8;\"\u003eThe kalidaar raw silk lehenga alternates plain red panels with panels of large gold buttis, rises to a gold belt at the waist and ends in a densely worked ghera. A pure organza dupatta, covered in a gold scalloped jaal with a sprinkle of hand embellishment, is bordered on all four sides and edged with pure copper kiran.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8;\"\u003ePart of our Shakuntala collection, Simran is made to order in your size at our Lahore atelier.

For the Anand Karaj or pheras, pin the dupatta securely so it stays in place through the ceremony. Sisters and bhabhis can drape it on one shoulder and keep jewellery lighter so the hand-finished neckline shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin: 30px 0 10px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4; font-weight: 500; letter-spacing: 0.02em; color: #111;\"\u003eSimran — Quick Answers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5; margin: 0 0 26px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; gap: 16px; list-style: none; cursor: pointer; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45; font-weight: 500; color: #111;\"\u003eIs this red lehenga suitable for my baraat or wedding day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"flex-shrink: 0; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1; color: #111;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 16px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8;\"\u003eYes, it was designed as a main bridal look.

Once the wedding is over, it does not have to stay in the cupboard.

Raw silk marks easily with water, so keep drinks and rain away from it on the day. For storage, fold the lehenga along its kalidaar panels with acid-free tissue or butter paper between the layers, so the tilla and the copper kiran on the dupatta don't rub or tarnish, then keep it in a breathable cotton bag in a dry cupboard.
