Question 1

What is included in a lehenga set?

Accepted Answer

A standard lehenga set includes three pieces: the lehenga skirt, a choli (fitted blouse), and a dupatta (draped scarf). Always read the listing closely, since some makers sell the skirt alone or pair it with only a dupatta. Bridal sets may add a second dupatta, a petticoat, or can-can lining for extra flare. If anything is sold separately, the maker should state it in the item details.

Question 2

How do I get a lehenga in my size?

Accepted Answer

Most independent makers offer custom stitching, so you send bust, waist, hip, and skirt length and they tailor the choli and skirt to fit. Some listings ship semi-stitched, with extra fabric margins so a local tailor can finish the fit. Send measurements within 24-48 hours of ordering to protect the maker's timeline, and ask whether the choli includes built-in padding and adjustable hooks.

Question 3

Which lehenga fabric is best for my event?

Accepted Answer

Match fabric to the occasion and season. Raw silk, brocade, and velvet hold structure and shine for bridal and winter weddings. Georgette, net, and organza drape lighter and move well for sangeet, mehendi, and reception dancing. Cotton and chanderi suit daytime or smaller festival events. Heavier embroidered fabrics weigh more, so ask the maker about total weight if you'll wear it for hours.

Question 4

How much does a handmade lehenga cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices track fabric and embroidery hours. Lightweight georgette party-wear sets typically run $80-$250, mid-range silk and net pieces with sequin or zari work land around $250-$700, and hand-embroidered bridal lehengas with zardozi or heavy mirror work run $700-$2,500 or more. Semi-stitched and skirt-only listings cost less than fully custom three-piece sets. Embroidery density, not just fabric, is the biggest price driver.

Question 5

How long does a custom lehenga take to ship?

Accepted Answer

Made-to-measure lehengas usually take 2-5 weeks before shipping, depending on embroidery and the maker's queue. Ready-to-ship and standard-size sets often go out in 3-7 business days. Bridal pieces with hand embroidery can need 6-8 weeks, so order well ahead. Confirm the production window and shipping transit time against your event date, and ask about rush options if you're close to the deadline.

Question 6

What embroidery and details should I look for?

Accepted Answer

Look for the embroidery named in the listing: zari and zardozi use metallic thread, sheesha adds mirror work, and sequin or thread work creates lighter sparkle. Check the skirt flare, measured in panels or kalis, since more panels mean a fuller twirl. Inspect photos for dupatta length, choli back design, and lining. Ask whether the work is hand-done or machine, as hand embroidery costs more and adds production time.
