The length of the choli varies depending on individuals and then the most important part of the attire the dupatta or odhni a broad scarf or veil sometime measuring 3 meters to 4 meters. This is very intricately embroidered especially in case of a bride. While designing a lehenga choli three things have to be kept in mind, the colour scheme, embroidery and the neck style. Different neck styles in lehenga choli or salwar kameez  can be used for the attire. Brides generally prefer a sweetheart a low neck.
