Few silhouettes in ethnic wear command as much grace and festive glamour as the sharara suit. Timeless yet eternally trendy, the flared, voluminous trousers paired with a fitted Kurti and a dupatta create a stunning ensemble perfect for every celebration, from an intimate Mehendi ceremony to a grand wedding reception.
However, the secret to a high-impact sharara suit isn't merely the design; it's the fabric. A successful look relies entirely on choosing materials that ensure the Kurti has structure, the Sharara pants achieve a dramatic flare, and the dupatta drapes perfectly. This guide breaks down the essential fabric choices, available on Shobhini’s premium Sharara Suit Fabrics collection, to help you craft a bespoke outfit that ensures all eyes are on you.
A custom-designed sharara suit is essentially a three-part harmony, and each piece requires a different type of fabric to achieve its optimal effect.
| Component | Design Goal | Ideal Fabric Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| The Kurti/Top | Structure, Fit, and Statement | Stiffer drape, rich texture, heavy embroidery focus. |
| The Sharara/Gharara | Volume, Movement, and Flare | Lightweight, flowing, highly drapeable, and often crushed or gathered. |
| The Dupatta | Complementary Drape | Sheer, light, or bordered fabric that complements the Kurti's work. |
By mastering the materials for each component, you elevate a simple tailor-made garment into a couture-level sharara suit.
To master the art of the sharara suit, you must align your fabric choice with the desired volume and flow. Shobhini’s diverse collection offers specialized materials for every element of your outfit:
The Sharara trousers are the signature of the whole sharara suit. To ensure that iconic bounce and volume, focus on fabrics that are known for their lightweight nature and fluid movement:
The Kurti should either balance the volume of the Sharara or become the main focus of the embroidery.
The dupatta ties the whole sharara suit together. It should be light enough not to feel cumbersome but beautiful enough to complete the festive look.
The advantage of buying fabrics over pre-stitched outfits is the ability to tailor the look to the occasion perfectly.
Remember, custom tailoring a sharara suit requires precise measurements for the knee flare. Take full advantage of the services offered on the Shobhini platform:
A: The main difference lies in the stitching of the trousers. A sharara suit features trousers that are flared from the waist down like a long skirt. A Gharara, by contrast, is fitted from the waist to just above the knee, where a dramatic flare begins, usually marked by a decorative band (or gota) at the seam. Both styles rely on similar flowing fabrics like Georgette and Chinon.
A: Yes, but it requires strategic design. Using a lightweight Georgette for both ensures uniformity and a monochromatic flow. However, ensure the Sharara has extra gathering, and the Kurti has either a lining or added embroidery (like Zari or Sequin work) to give it structure and separate it from the trousers.
A: Not necessarily. The crush effect is generally permanent. While they shouldn't be ironed flat, they are designed to maintain their unique texture, adding inherent volume to your sharara suit with minimal fuss. Always check the specific wash and care instructions for the fabric you select.
