what is choli in lehenga

The choli is the blouse or the upper garment that is worn as part of a traditional Indian outfit called Lehenga Choli. It is typically a tight-fitted blouse that covers the upper body and has different styles of sleeves and necklines, such as round neck, V-neck, boat neck, and off-shoulder. The choli is an essential component of the Lehenga Choli ensemble and is usually made of the same fabric as the lehenga skirt and dupatta. It is often adorned with embellishments like embroidery, beads, sequins, or mirror work to complement the overall design of the outfit.
