Also, the kurti style lehenga choli will not only look good but will help to give you a slimmer look as it is long and fitted.

As far as sangeet dresses for curvy girls are concerned, high-waisted lehengas are a must-try. They look good whether you’re curvy or lean, but trust us that they would have a better look on curvy girls if they are worn at the right place of the waist.

Flaunt those curves right with a waist belt. It will look AMAZING if you put the belt at the right place. Believe it or not, it will give a structure to the look.

The sharara look

A knee-length kurta with a sharara is a look that will not only make you look slimmer but also look great on curvy girls. This all-grey sharara set is elegant and classy and the right jewellery will do wonders to the overall look. 

Ghararas are in trend too

While people think that a sharara and a gharara are the same but that’s not true. A sharara is like a wide-legged and flared pants which give you the look of a flowy skirt, but a gharara is not sharara’s cousin.

Give crops a try!

Crops are as much for us curvy girls as they are for the skinny ones! Crop tops paired with high waisted lehenga skirts are a perfect way to go high fashion. And that pretty print...well, it’s all the rage right now! Put on a nice handcuff to finish off your look.

Fusion jacket 

Fusion wears are stylish, convenient to wear and more manageable than any other Indian attire. Put on a pair of jeans, a top and wear a fusion jacket with it and you have created a look that you can repeat anywhere you want. Make sure to accessorise the look with some Bohemian-style jewellery and tada. 

Peplum kurtas 

Peplum kurtas or the frock-style kurtas will instantly make you the centre of attraction. The playful vibe of the kurta goes perfectly with the sangeet ceremony. Also, it’s one of the best options for curvy girls and it will not make you look fat. The most amazing thing about peplum kurtas are that you can pair it with anything - be it a lehenga, sharara, pants or even a dhoti. 

Cape gowns 

Cape gowns are one of the outfits that would look fabulous on a bridesmaid. For curvy girls, cape gowns are something that would look dressy yet comfortable. This pink one is giving all the feels of a bridesmaid all ready to rock on her sister/friend’s sangeet ceremony.
