A traditional royal-inspired embellishment is embroidery or thread work on a lehenga, adding on old-world elegance to the attire. The seamless magic of the finest embellishment techniques such as Zari, Gota, Zardozi, Chikankari and Aari work forms a strong foundation for the wedding collection. Embroidery & embellishments are details that multiply the beauty of any outfit.

There are different kinds of sleeves length and styles you can choose from and give it a modern look by adding embellishments to them.
