Gujrati Attire


Intricately embroidered and exquisitely stylized, the Gujrati attire is simply eye-catching. Dazzling with vibrant colours, flooded with striking mirror work and stunning jewellery it is one of the most alluring customs in India. The mirror work and embroidery work forms an integral part of Gujrati handicrafts.


The creativity of mirror work lies in the colourful framework of stitches that hold these special mirrors (having variations like hand-cut antique mirrors, machine-cut embroidery glass and flat sequin mirrors) to the fabric. The darker the colour of the base fabric is, exotic the embellishment look in the final outcome.
The traditional dress for women in Gujarat is the lehenga choli or ghagra choli
