The suits are dressed in exquisit embroidary, the correct choice of sequencing and an elaborate georgette dupatta to go with it.

The body type to suit Anarkali suit of the traditional style is tall, slender and sleek. The long length and fitting along the waist gives a slimming look and makes it perfect for a body type which is on the heavier side. It hides all the flab quite well.

The body type for short anarkali kurtas is short height and slender body. As it is fitted on the waist, it does not go with broder waistlines.
