Gota Work Lehenga Choli

The ethnic skirt is an adorable garment preferred by women of all age groups in India. The twirl of a traditional lehenga is indeed picturesque and depicts moments of celebration. Lehenga cholis in India are usually worn during puja ceremonies, religious gatherings, and social events like weddings as well as festive occasions. As a patron of ethnic wear, a richly hand embroidered lehenga is a smart thing to flaunt at formal celebrations. Out of all the types of hand-work, gota patti work, which is also known as ‘lappe ka kaam’ is one of the most beautiful and most laborious forms of art. The process of gota work: The art involves making motifs and borders using appliqués made from golden or silver lace. The elaborate process begins by fixing the fabric over a wooden frame (khaat). The design is drawn or printed over the fabric by hand or by using a stencil. Metallic or metal coated laces (gota) are cut into different shapes and are then stitched on to the fabric to make designs that are inspired by nature, birds, animals, paisley and geometrical patterns. Hemming or chain stitches are used to secure the gota or it may be secured using zari embroidery. This work is also combined with beads and sequins to make appealing designs for adorning ethnic wear like saris and lehenga sets. Lehenga cholis having gota work: Circular lehengas or ghaghras bordered with gota work make excellent garments for weddings as well as bridal wear. This art looks best with vibrant colours like pink, red, green, yellow, maroon and orange and it renders a traditionally stylish appeal to the garment. To make the garments more heavy, even the dupatta is edged with gota patti matching the motifs and border on the set. A hand-embroidered gota patti lehenga choli in silk or georgette makes a royal bridal outfit when teamed with rich kundan jewellery. Such garments can be seen in Bollywood movies that are based on royal families from Rajasthan.
