chudidar
A Chudidar (also spelled Churidar) is a traditional Indian garment worn by women, which consists of a long tunic paired with tightly fitting trousers, creating an elegant and stylish outfit. It is a variation of the salwar kameez, but with a distinct difference in the style of the lower garment, making it more form-fitting.
Key Features of a Chudidar:
Kameez (Top): The kameez is a long tunic or shirt, often knee-length or longer, and can come in a variety of styles, including straight cut, A-line, or flared. It is often adorned with embroidery, sequins, or other embellishments, especially for festive and formal occasions.
Chudidar (Bottom): The key feature of a Chudidar is the “chudi” or “churidar” pants, which are tight-fitting trousers that gather at the ankle, creating a bunching effect. The fabric used for the chudidar is generally stretchy or tailored to fit snugly, providing a sleek silhouette.
Dupatta (Scarf): Often worn with a chudidar, a dupatta is a long scarf that complements the outfit. The dupatta is draped over the shoulders or head, depending on the style and occasion.
Fabric: Chudidar sets are made from various fabrics, including cotton, silk, georgette, chiffon, and more. For formal or festive wear, fabrics like silk, satin, and brocade are popular, while cotton is common for casual or daily wear.
