Tips To Make Lehenga From Anarkali Suit

If you are tired of wearing a heavy Anarkali kurta on every occasion, Here’s how you can convert it into a beautiful lehenga.

Use Flared Anarkali Suit

If your Anarkali kurta features intricate buds, you can easily transform it into a stunning lehenga. The more buds the kurta has, the more dramatic the flare of the lehenga will be. And, if you desire an even fuller lehenga, you can always add more buds to amplify the flare and create a truly show-stopping piece.
