Various Styles of Traditional Ghagra Sets

Have you heard these terms - ghagra choli, sharara, lacha and the gharara? They all sound similar but there is a difference between these styles. The lehenga choli is a long skirt worn with a choli like blouse. Sharara is a long skirt worn with a hip length blouse. Lacha is a long skirt worn with a knee length top. The gharara is a Pakistani style of dress in which the lehenga is divided into two parts worn with a top that ends above the knee level. The latest trends of the palazos, the culottes and the parallel have been derived from this style.
