What is the Difference in Anarkali and Angrakha?

Posted by Rabia Nizami on

Anarkali Dresses and Angrakha Dresses are both popular traditional attires worn in India. However, they are quite different in terms of design and style.

Anarkali is a long, floor-length dress with a fitted bodice and long, flowing skirts. It is usually made of heavy silk or other fine fabrics and is often embellished with intricate embroidery, sequins, and embellishments. The neckline of the Anarkali can vary from a deep V neck to a high collar. The bodice is typically fitted and flares out at the waist, and the skirt is usually long and flared.

Angrakha is a traditional garment worn by both men and women in India. It is a loose, wrap-around garment that is usually made of cotton or lightweight silk. The top usually features a band of embroidery at the neckline and a single tie, or dori, at the waist. The length of the Angrakha can vary, but it is usually ankle-length.

The main difference between the two garments is that Anarkali is a formal dress, while Angrakha is more of a casual wear. Anarkali is most commonly seen at weddings and other formal occasions, while Angrakha is often seen at festivals and other casual occasions. Anarkali also has more intricate embroidery and embellishments than Angrakha, which makes it more expensive.

Overall, Anarkali and Angrakha are two traditional attires of India that are quite different in terms of design and style.
