Product Description
The skirts worn in India are known by different names, depending on a region's style. The most popular among these skirts is the ghaghra.
Constantly changing trends and fashion influences have transformed these simple looking garments into dramatic, full paneled skirts. Along with regional differences, variations have evolved that include different lengths, number of panels, as well as shape.
Voluminous ghaghra skirts can use up to 20 meters of fabric. It is its distinct flare that makes these skirts into stunning garments so adored that they are constant subjects in both art and poetry.
Basically, a ghaghra skirt can have the construction of a flared skirt or, more simply, a gathered skirt. These skirts cover the legs either partially or fully, depending on the buyer's ethnic group's sense of propriety.
Ghaghra skirts have been typical to the Rajasthan since the time of the Mughal empire. As mentioned, the skirts could use up yards and yards of fabric and are gathered securely and tightly around a woman's waist to create a more dramatic form as it flares around the ankles. It may appear that these opulent-looking skirts are only reserved for festivals, but these ghaghra skirts are really all-purpose garments. With its many variations, there can be a ghaghra skirt for any occasion. The ghaghra skirt can be as casual as walking in the fields or attending a formal wedding.
Here at ShalinIndia, we offer cotton skirts that make for comfortable casual wear, perfect for summer.
