Undoubtedly,
the old lehengas hold a very special place in your heart. When they become a
once-in-a-blue-moon ensemble over time, it is always a smart move to add some
creativity and re-purpose it like a pro. Here are a few ideas to help you get
started.
Create
A Statement Dupatta
The
dupatta of your old designer lehengas can double up as excellent drapes
with other dresses. If you have a heavily embroidered or embellished bridal
dupatta, then you can use it with your chic kameez, Anarkali suits, and even
with Patiala style suits.
Make
It Your Unique Anarkali
You
can stitch your old lehengas into a body-flattering, floor-length Anarkali
suit. An expert tailor can help you highlight your figure line exquisitely. If
you want to don a contemporary look, then you can also look for a metallic and
asymmetric finish. And if you do not want any further cuts and stitches on your
lehenga, then what about trying a little bit of trick? You will just need a
waistband for this magical re-fashioning. You can do it without any stitching
and sewing. Simply check the YouTube videos to know how to make it.
Wear
your ensemble separately.
Break
your entire lehenga and pair them with different dresses. For example, you can
pair the choli with a designer saree that you love. Again, consider teaming the
lehenga skirt with a crop top or a corset blouse to add to your contemporary
persona. Pairing it with a cool button-down shirt can also make for cool party
wear. At AshaGautam, the leading fashion store in Delhi, you will find the best
designer lehengas in Delhi with top quality craftwork.
Re-Wear
In another Party
Your
designer lehenga can be the perfect head-turner in the next cocktail party that
you are going to attend. In that case, simply ditch the dupatta for an
Indo-Western jacket. However, remember that you have to highlight any one
element in this ensemble. So don't go overboard with both the jacket and the
skirt.
Bonus
Tip: Make Money
Did
you know that you can even rent your lehenga on different online sites? If that
seems to be a cool idea, then why not do your research on some local shops, and
put the lehengas that you won't need in the near future, for rent?
