lehenga
Embroidered wedding skirt
A lehenga is a long, elaborately decorated skirt worn by South Asian women, typically for weddings and formal celebrations.
It's usually paired with a fitted blouse (choli) and a draped scarf (dupatta).
The skirt is heavily embroidered or embellished and flares from the waist: She wore a red lehenga to her sister's wedding.
