Purple Jacquard Woven Silk Lehenga with Floral Print and Asymmetric Blouse

Product details

Purple Jacquard Woven Silk Lehenga is a traditional-events lehenga in jacquard woven silk, carrying a blurred floral print and paired with an asymmetric blouse. Purple runs through the design. The blurred treatment of the print is what separates it from the sharply defined florals usually printed onto lehenga skirts. Jacquard is not a surface treatment. The pattern is woven into the cloth on the loom, so it sits within the structure of the fabric rather than on top of it, and it does not rub away. In silk, that gives a firm cloth with quiet tonal shifts where the weave changes direction. The print here is described as blurred rather than crisp, so the floral shapes soften into each other instead of holding hard outlines. Read at a distance, that produces a wash of colour across the skirt with the woven jacquard texture showing through underneath. An asymmetric blouse breaks the symmetry of a standard choli, usually at the neckline or one shoulder. It changes the silhouette of a lehenga considerably and gives the outfit a more contemporary line. A purple set at this price sits comfortably at a wedding function, a sangeet or a reception, and the asymmetric blouse makes it a reasonable choice for a younger guest who wants something less conventional. A slight colour variation may occur between the photographs and the garment because of lighting, camera flash and screen settings.
