Bridal Sharara Sets in Mumbai: Styles and Making Yours
Bridal
By Farzeen Lala · Published
A bridal sharara has a grace all of its own. The wide, flowing pants move beautifully when you walk, the kurta can be as rich or as simple as you like, and the whole look feels both traditional and easy to wear through a long day of ceremonies. If you are considering a sharara for your wedding in Mumbai, this guide explains the styles, the choices that matter and how a made-to-measure sharara is created.
Sharara, Gharara or Lehenga?
These three are often confused, so it helps to know the difference before your consultation.
Sharara: wide, flared pants that fall freely from the waist, worn with a kurta and dupatta.
Gharara: fitted to the knee, then flaring out below it, often with a decorative band at the knee.
Lehenga: a full skirt worn with a blouse and dupatta.
A sharara or gharara suits brides who want movement and comfort with a classic, elegant feel. If you are still deciding, our guide to bridal anarkalis and lehengas compares other popular silhouettes.
Choosing the Kurta Length and Shape
The kurta changes the whole character of a sharara set.
Short kurta: shows more of the flare and feels lighter and more playful.
Mid-length kurta: a balanced, classic choice that suits most heights.
Long kurta or peplum: adds drama and works beautifully for receptions and Walima celebrations.
Because each set is cut to your own measurements, the kurta length can be chosen for your height and the look you want, not taken from a standard size.
Fabric and Colour
The flare of a sharara needs a fabric that falls well. Soft silks, georgette, organza and net all move beautifully, and the choice depends on the season, the venue and how much embroidery you want. Our bridal fabric guide explains how different fabrics behave. For colour, many brides choose classic reds and golds, while pastel shades such as dusty rose, sage and ivory are lovely for daytime ceremonies.
Where the Handwork Goes
On a sharara set, embroidery can sit on the kurta, along the hem of the pants, on the dupatta border, or across all three. At our Mazgaon atelier, all handwork is done by hand using zardozi, dabka, pearls, crystals and thread embroidery. We plan the placement with you so the set looks balanced in person and in photographs. You can see each stage of the work on our craft page.
