The pear-shaped body is one where the hips are wider and the upper body is somewhat smaller. And the ideal scenario would be balanced proportions.

• A-Line Lehenga: The Lehenga with a gentle flare at the waist gives a perfectly balanced silhouette-skimming over the hips without adding a bulge.

Blouse: Blouses should be decorated and structured to set focus at the upper section. Off-shoulder, boat necks, or heavily embroidered designs must be sought.

• Dupatta: Drape the dupatta over one shoulder or let it hang by the arms to add volume to the upper torso, creating a well-balanced body silhouette altogether.

2. Neckline and Sleeves: Necklines and sleeve styles that flatter body shape and personal style should be chosen. Off-shoulder, sweetheart necklines, and three-quarter sleeves are seen as versatile options.

3. Dupatta Draping: Different draping styles can be experimented with to enhance the lehenga and suit the occasion. The way the dupatta is worn can transform the look.
