“Lacha” is one of the most unique yet classy traditional wear which is very popular in Punjabi and Muslims weddings and special occasions. It is a variation of the lehenga sets, while another variation to exist is ghagra-choli. A lacha dress is much like the lehenga but most often it comes with a longer choli, that reaches much below the waist. Not only does this form a well-defined silhouette but also serves as the best outfit for conservative brides. A traditional lacha comes with a flared ghagra, with a rich and adorned bottom hemline. Traditionally, the blouse of a lacha dress resembles a kurtabut; nowadays shorter cholis also accompany the ghagra. A long ornate dupatta is also a must in traditional lachas! Given is a list of the 30 best lacha dresses one will ever come across: Blue Ornate Pre-wedding Lacha: This dark blue lacha is perfect for any pre-wedding occasion like mehendi or sangeet.
