With quite a different way of donning a cold shoulder blouse design, this style is a unique way of wearing a lehenga choli and cannot be worn with your regular ensembles. Wearing a golden spaghetti blouse and a beige floral lehenga, it almost seems like a regular bridal lehenga. However, the sheer dupatta of the lehenga has been donned like a cape, which falls over the shoulders like a cold shoulder blouse. With the sheer dupatta falling over the arms, a cold shoulder blouse design has been formed. These type of lehengas aren’t common but have been seen being donned by quite a few women.

Sheer blouses are quite common among women. Every other woman is wearing some type of sheer blouse and this one is not very different from what we generally see. A pale pink Indo-western lehenga choli, the choli, or the cold shoulder blouse design is based on sheer fabric, keeping the neck of the blouse bare. The chest of the blouse has been covered from the inside as well as the outside, making a cold shoulder along with long sleeves. Embroidered and embellished with silver, any bride would look dazzling in this modernised look. You don’t need to wear a lot of jewellery with this lehenga as it doesn’t require the extra bling. However, you can wear some if you want to! As a bride, heavy jewellery comes with a territory!

Cold shoulder blouse design has been a boon for fashion lovers and stylists as they can completely change the look of a lehenga choli and turn it into a western attire. A peeping shoulder pattern, it has evolved from the west but looks far better in the ethnic fashion industry. Therefore, many brides have been opting for bridal attires with cold shoulder blouse design.
