Well, before you are all set to make your angel glow; don’t miss out on the comfort factor that can allow her to be her naughtiest best. Here are a few trendy and comfy lehenga designs and factors to keep in mind before you go and buy one!
Choosing The Right Fabric
Whether it is a whimsical flowy lehenga or Indo-western lehenga style; The fabric you choose can make the outfit more fab and appealing. For that delicate, princess-like feel, the comfort of a breathable and lightweight fabric counts. Here is why you should pay attention to the fabric and choose natural fabrics like cotton, silk, or soft net.
- Little girls have very sensitive skin and can react to synthetic or low-quality fabrics.
- Lehengas made from fabrics like cotton and net allows your girl’s skin to breathe.
- Avoid rayon or polyester lehengas that may cause itching during summer weddings.
- Opt for a lehenga choli with lighter linings to keep her comfortable.
Optimal Fit & Size
When you buy a dream dress for your daughter or niece; the whole idea is to make her feel happy and comfy. Isn’t it? So, choose an ethnic or kids’ designer lehenga of the right fit and optimum size. As little girls don’t sit and keep playing around; a skin-tight choli of the lehenga or an overly loose lehenga can dampen her mood and fun time. Here is why and how to choose a lehenga with the perfect fit and size.
- The extra length of the skirt might entangle the kids’ legs; making her fall and feel disappointed. Make sure your baby enjoys the sangeet, haldi, and mehendi celebrations the way you do. Make sure the length of the lehenga is not much beyond her ankle.
- High neck fitted choli or tightly tied doris of the lehenga choli design can irritate the child. Try to opt for sleeveless patterns, off-shoulders, or simple crop tops in soft cotton fabrics for added comfort.
Comfortable Waistband
While taking utmost care of fabric, quality, and design for your kid’s lehenga choli; one must also take care of the fit at the waist area. A very tight elastic band can come in the way of a girl’s convenience. Drawstrings that tie the lehenga too loose are another lehenga-buying mistake that should be avoided. A waistband of your kid’s designer lehenga can play a key role in making it stand out.
- The drawstrings waistband design is an option for flexibility. One must tie the knots carefully around the child’s waist so that you don’t leave it loose enough or too tight.
- Check the elastic straps before purchasing a kid’s lehenga. Lehenga choli which has high-quality and soft waistbands is a great option as tight elastics or waistbands can irritate the skin and leave marks.
- If there are hook closures or adjusting straps or buttons on the waist area; one can look for quality steel hooks that don’t rust or fade. Also, the fasteners on the waistband must not hurt or pinch the little girl’s belly.
Light Weight & Flexible Dupatta
Light-weighted and flexible dupattas are preferred when selecting lehengas for girls of young age so that it doesn’t weigh them down. Dupattas with heavy embellishments, long tassels, zari border and too much embroidery must be avoided. Well, there are other ways and tricks to drape a dupatta that mothers can follow.
- If you leave the dupatta loose onto your little one’s shoulders; she will end up removing or throwing it at the end. So, the first thing is to pin up a dupatta if the lehenga has one.
- You can go for designer lehengas with dupattas to be draped in multiple ways. There are dupattas that can be inserted inside the loops of the shoulder, dupattas that are like cape jackets. You can also go for the latest and trendy lehengas that have dupattas attached like a drape to them.
- One can go for soft cotton and net dupattas featuring cotton crochet lace. Try to choose dupattas that are narrow to elevate her look in an ethnic lehenga.
- You can also choose a smart draping technique that would look pretty and trending like fixing the dupatta with a belt or with decorative pins that are child-friendly.
Comfortable Blouse Or Choli
Blouses do create an innovative and experimenting look for kids’ lehengas. However, very loose, tight, or ill-fitted cholis can ruin your little fairy’s lehenga look. The ill-fitting aspects of your kid’s lehenga also include the neck design, back design, sleeve length, bodice length, and more.
- You might have chosen a certain style for her but ensure trying it out beforehand. A floppy blouse might not be the thing for the child to handle.
- Also, ensure that the embellishments and embroidery on the blouse is not excessive. The basic rule of ‘not following the trends blindly’ applies here. The cluttered embroidery on the blouse can be a near-impossible thing for the child to manage, especially during summer weddings and festivals.
- Well, if you are trying to fix the fit of the blouse by using too many pins; we suggest you avoid it as the pins all over the bodice can cause tears in the blouse and can hurt the child.
- Look for the child’s comfort level while selecting the sleeve length, the fabric of the blouse, the back design, and cuts. Remember, comfort can be the best style for any child to enhance their look in ethnic dresses.
Avoid Excessive Embellishments
Defining your daughter’s style with the unique lehenga makes sense but try to avoid excessive embellishments, designs, and garment fastenings that can add risk to your child’s skin and comfort. Rupturing or breaking certain design components or the sharp edges of the embellishments or metallic ends of drawstrings can prick or hurt the child. You can go for lehenga patterns that are comfortable, embellishments that are soft and flat, and drawstrings that don’t include any meta or sharp latkans.
- Designs like sequined rich borders and too much of shimmery layers on the kid’s lehenga must be avoided. Rather, go for pom-pom laces, soft cotton, or velvet patches, floral printed lehengas, and lehengas with minimal design. Cords, strings, and ribbons created from soft satin cloth would be like a safety measure.
- Strictly don’t go overboard with all-over embroidery or large-size embellishments or motifs as children have a petite and narrow frame and it can really get difficult for the child.
Flexibility For Movement
The lower edge of the lehenga must be comfortable for your child to feel free to move, run, dance, and have fun. Zari fringes at the bottom, rich decorative borders at the hem of the skirt or sequin lace below can discourage your little damsel to frolic around. Let her flutter off with flexibility with these simple tips.
- For your daughter to be in a relaxed state, you must ensure that the lehenga is flared and not fitted below the hip area. The lehenga flare must not restrict your child’s movement.
- Avoid numerous embellishments at the flare of the lehenga. The cotton sharara lehengas, gharara lehengas, and palazzo lehengas can be the safest bet for your child and good in terms of volume too.
- A disturbing hemline can restrict the child’s mobility. Allow the flare or the hem of the lehenga to fall to the ankles only. Go for lightweight lehenga options in cotton, organza, and net.
Comfortable Footwear
Footwear to go with your girl’s crop top lehenga or designer lehenga come in a wide variety of colors, styles, and materials. From simple designs to ornate and eye-catching ones; there are a plethora of styles to add a touch of fancy to your fairy’s lehenga outfit. But while looking for a dressier style, one must not compromise on the little one’s comfort. Here are a few styles to opt for.
- Flats and sandals are comfortable, lightweight, and a perfect summer footwear option.
- Go for footwear that allows her feet to breathe. Durable material and slip-resistant soles must be preferred for easy movement of the child.
- Little ones are careless so heavy stones, studs, and embellishments on the shoes can be avoided with lehenga. Instead, go for a metallic finish, cushioned footbed, and flexible construction for added protection to her feet and soles.
Adequate Layering & Climate Consideration
Making your daughter look like a princess in a traditional kid’s lehenga doesn’t mean she should be weighed down by extra layers, jackets, dupattas, and heavy flares. Her angelic presence can still be felt if she is wearing something light, easy, and simple. Here is what you need to consider to have a perfect lehenga choli for your princess.
- Very long and itchy sleeves, double or triple layers on the skirt, the jacket over a blouse or long capes might look cute on her but can cause discomfort in many ways, especially during summer.
- Use simple ideas and methods to make add fairy vibes to her lehenga. Go for floral prints, soft fabric, pleated lehenga, linen or cotton lehenga to have that adorable image. Avoid heavy jackets, dupattas, and long flowy capes. Your little diva’s million-dollar smile in a comfortable and simple lehenga can be the best style statement for her.
