However, you might be bothered to wear the designer lehenga cholis because of the pounds accumulated on your tummy, worry not, we got you covered with some of the essential hacks on how to wear designer lehengas to look slim. Here are some of the handy tricks and tips to wear lehengas and look slim.
Fabric First
Lehengas look gorgeous when worn properly however, you must select the piece carefully on examining the choice of fabric. Ditch the lighter fabrics like satin or lycra, instead embrace the heavy Indian traditional silhouettes like brocade, cotton, silk, or chanderi which will compensate the volume of your voluptuous figure line.
Empire Lehengas
If you’re a curvaceous or plus size woman, settle for a high waisted or empire styled lehenga choli for it tones down your bulging fat and the choli rests perfectly at the slim waistline thereby giving you a leaner and sharper look. High waisted lehengas with minimal embroidery on problem areas exude sass in right proportions. You may also work on different ways to drape the lehenga dupatta in style.
Minimal Embellishments
Yes, we know there is no jazz or overboard charm sans the much-needed embellishments in Indian couture, however, to look slim, it’s important to embrace lehenga cholis with minimal and statement embellishments that will moderately balance your look without making you go OTT. You can perhaps go with mirror work or embroidery work on the hem and hips of the lehenga outlined with slim borders for a clean and neat look. Too many embellishments will make you look heavier and enhance the volume which you may not like to aspire for.
Sleeves Matter
In order to pick up a trendy sleeveless choli, your arms should be athletic and toned, however, if not, you may go with the quarter sleeves or style net sleeves for a chic look. Full or third fourth sleeves in net fabric looks feminine, fancy and absolutely festive spirited. So, don’t shy away from trying the new trendy ways of different sleeve options modern cholis have to offer. Everything from flannel sleeves to bell sleeves, off shoulder or cold shoulder are oh-so-in, just go ahead and try your hand this festive season.
Solid Hues

The right amount and structure of accessories can either break or make your look. So, wisely choose the accessories you seriously would like to deck up in. Steer clear from chokers as it will make you look bulkier and heavier. Also, reduce the can cans beneath your lehengas since it will enhance the bulkiness of your outfit and thereby adding the weight to your figure line which you definitely won’t enjoy.
