bottom wear. The earlier versions of this type of suit had longer tops but in
lieu of the needs and comfort of the modern woman the top has evolved and
become slightly sshorter and ends at the knees or slightly below the knees. The
earlier designs used to have bottoms that were long enough to reach the
ankles.

top is usually soft and flowing such as gorgette, chiffon, silk and crepe etc.
The soft fabrics in combination with the look of the anarkali suits accentuate
the feminine shape beautifully and elegantly.

industry dedicated to producing these suits and also for the exquisite
embroidery that is almost always seen in anarkali salwars. You will hardly find
an anarkali that does not have some kind of exquisite embroidery made form
zari, silk threads and other very unique material.

popularity of anarkali suits is that no other style of salwar kameez looks as
