Posted by Rahul Agarwal on January 13th, 2016

A stunning piece of garment that is characteristic of the Indian culture, long, flowy Anarkali suits are among the few types of clothing that can instantly make any woman look royal, regal, and absolutely beautiful. A complete Anarkali suit consists of a combination of tight fitted churidaar with sheer chunni/sole, and a long flowing kurta. The kurta is fitted on the wearer's bust and it would normally feature large pleats that flow around the legs, much like an umbrella. 

Anarkali suits date back to as early as the Mughal Era. They were named after a famous courtesan of Great Emperor Akbar's court, Anarkali, who was known for her beauty and pomegranate-like (Anarkali means pomegranate blossom) complexion. According to legends, Anarkali had enviable beauty that everyone was dazzled by. It was because of this beauty that crown prince Salim fell in love with the courtesan at first sight, thus incurring the wrath of King Akbar and effectively ending their love story in a great tragedy. Anarkali was buried alive by orders of the Emperor for having an affair with his own son. This is the same story that has gotten immortalized through epic Indian movies like Mughal-e-Azam, which also paved the way for Anarkali suits to return in fashion, enabling Indian designers and leading Bollywood divas to rediscover the beauty and elegance of the classic and infinitely gorgeous Anarkali dress style. 

More than the attention that people are giving to Anarkali dresses because of all the beautiful actresses who wear them and the designers that make them look good on the red carpet, Anarkali suits are popular due to the fact that the outfit has the unique ability to flatter any and every body type. This particular dress style accentuates a woman's upper body, while covering up flaws in the hips and waist as imperfections disappear in the long pleats.  A versatile piece to have in any wardrobe, these dresses can also be made from a wide variety of materials, ranging from soft satin, silk, and even net and pure cotton. These materials are further embellished with heavy and stunning embroidery, intricate stone work, and glittering gota patti. Different styles and cuts are also available to suit different tastes. 

Anarkali suits are characteristically Indian, but they are widely available through boutiques as well as stores that specialize in selling Indian dresses online. If you want to capture the gorgeous Indian look that Bollywood actresses don on galas and red carpets, these kinds of stores are the best places to look.
