Designed as a fit and flare frock, Anarkali dresses go up to ankle-length or knee-length. Long frock designs have always stayed in fashion and are loved by many women in Pakistan and India. This style of frock originated in the Mughal Era and has from there on transitioned and evolved. Designers give it its touch from using different fabrics to make the frock to using light or heavy embroidery.

Anarkali goes well with Churipajama, palazzo, trousers, leggings etc. From simple everyday wear to weddings, Anarkali frocks can be adorned anywhere.

Peplum Short Frock

A style derived from the west which was initially a short fabric attached at the waist of a woman’s jacket or coat. This style was then incorporated by eastern designers and short peplum frocks were introduced. Peplum frocks are well fitted from the top and then a pleated strip of fabric is attached to the top from the waist to create a flounce, shorter from the front and longer from behind. They go well with shararas, ghararas, lehengas, bell bottoms and even palazzos.

Of course with changing fashion, angrakha has also evolved. The top angrakha design has remained the same but the half-bottom length can be changed to short or long depending on your preference. Generally, it is longer as that is the traditional length style of angrakha. Angrakha style can be applied in lawn frock design as it is something which can be adorned in casual everyday life or during weddings where this style is made by using embellishments and embroidery on it.
