Shopping for a lehenga should feel like a celebration, not a struggle. Yet with so many styles, cuts, and fabrics, finding “the one” that flatters your body type can be overwhelming. But here’s the secret: the perfect lehenga isn’t just about trends, it’s about you.
At Rana’s by Kshitija, we believe every woman deserves to feel like royalty in her outfit, whether it’s a bridal lehenga, a festive Rajputi Poshak, or a stunning saree. And the right fit? That’s where the magic begins.
Let’s help you discover the best lehenga for your body type, so you glow in every twirl and photograph.
1. Pear-Shaped Body
Characteristics: Narrow shoulders, wider hips and thighs
Goal: Balance proportions by drawing attention upwards.
Lehenga Tips:
- Choose A-line or flared lehengas that gracefully flow from the waist down.
- Go for heavily embroidered or embellished cholis/blouses, this shifts the focus to your upper body.
- Dupatta draping styles that go over one shoulder help elongate the frame.
- Opt for lighter fabrics like georgette or chiffon for the skirt to avoid adding volume around the hips.
Best pick: Explore our handcrafted Bridal Lehengas with ornate blouses and flowing silhouettes, perfect for balancing your curves.
2. Apple-Shaped Body
Characteristics: Broader torso, fuller bust, and midsection
Goal: Create definition and shift focus to your waist and legs.
Lehenga Tips:
- Pick high-waisted lehengas that cinch at the slimmest part of your waist.
- Avoid overly heavy work on the blouse; go for V-necks or deep U-necks for a slimming effect.
- Opt for jackets or cape-style blouses to elongate and layer beautifully.
- Choose darker shades for the blouse and go bold on the lehenga to draw the eye downward.
Best pick: Our cape and jacket lehengas give elegance and structure, ideal for apple-shaped beauties.
3. Hourglass Body
Characteristics: Balanced bust and hips with a defined waist
Goal: Highlight that enviable waistline!
Lehenga Tips:
- Mermaid or fishtail lehengas accentuate curves dramatically.
- Pair with well-fitted cholis that showcase your midriff without bulk.
