Punjabi Suit Designs-1

Who can ever forget the legendary historical character Anarkali? This court dancer of the Mughal emperor Akbar and the love of his famous son Salim used to perform her dances in a typical dress that resembled plain umbrella patterned skirts at the bottom and an embellished choli or blouse at the top. This ethnic wear was made most popular, perhaps by our yesteryear bollywood actress Madhubala who herself performed the role of Anarkali in the film 'Mughal-e-Azam'. Further, this type of salwar kameez, that became popular as Anarkali salwar suits were worn by such Bollywood stars as Meena Kumari in 'Pakeeza,' Rekha in 'Umrao Jaan,' Aishwarya Rai Bacchan again in the remake of 'Umrao Jaan' and Madhuri Dixit in 'Aaja Nachle.' Therefore, these actresses should also be given equal credit for making Anarkali churidar suits popular among today's young women of India.

Basic Design of Anarkali Churidar Kurta

As explained earlier, this designer salwar kameez has a base resembling skirt but it is not a separate piece of clothing. This skirt like structure is attached to the top segment of the kurta, which, if looked separately, will appear like a blouse. Traditionally, anarkali churidar kurta has the top choli part enough longer to reach below the bust. However, trendy designs can let the length of this choli as short as one desires. Further, the kurta of anarkali style salwar is heavily embellished with embroidery and other things including zari, gota, sequins, laces, beads, pearls etc. However, the more casual wear salwar kameez like those made from cotton are not so much decorated with trims and accessories but the form of the kurta design itself lend them an amazing grace. The kurta is mostly accompanied with a churidar but sometimes salwar is also worn with it.
