The popularity of Indian Anarkali dresses has been unstoppable since it made its comeback in Bollywood. Women recognised the timeless and classic design of the Anarkali, with its form-fitting top and A-line bottom that compliments most body types. The name also translates to “Pomegranate Blossom” or “Bud of the Pomegranate Flower,” signifying the beauty and grace of the women who wear it. 

History says the dress was named after a woman named Anarkali, who was a dancer in the Mughal emperor’s court. According to legend, she was buried alive because of her illicit affair with Prince Salim who eventually also became an emperor of India. The dresses were then named after her to represent women who are skilled dancers and passionate lovers. The Anarkali dress is typically made with a variety of cloths such as high-quality silk, velvet, chiffon, plus embroidered with stones, gems, zardosi, zari and such. Traditionally, it is also worn with a Churidar and a Dupatta. Indian women have grown to love wearing the Anarkali because of its decadent design and quality, figure-flattering form, and colourful history.
