Anarkalis & Anarkali Sets

Shop Anarkali Kurtas at Meera Plus Size

The Anarkali kurta is a classic. With its roots going back to the Mughal era, this dress has been an epitome of timeless beauty. Adorned and adored by women across age, anarkalis have truly stood the test of time in our ever evolving world of fashion. And there’s a rather interesting story behind it.

The name Anarkali is literally a combination of two words - anar (pomegranate) and kali (blossoms). This is a metaphorical allusion to the umbrella cut or flared silhouette that is characteristic of this dress. And if you think about it, the legendary lady love of Prince Salim was also known by this name. Pages from history tell us that Anarkali herself used to wear long flowing gowns with an extravagant bottom flair, complementing both her feminine appeal and the visual splendor often brought to life through various dance forms.

Needless to say, once the anarkali arrived in the Indian tapestry of fashion, it was here to stay. Celebrated both on screen and off screen, this fashion gem has maintained its stature through centuries. So much so, today it is a symbol of our Indian heritage loved by women for different occasions.

The natural cut of an anarkali makes it a flattering fit for any body type and our collection of plus size anarkali suit sets is a testament to this. By virtue of the opulence this dress type brings to fore, these make the perfect cut as wedding wear. From haldi to sangeet, roka to the marriage ceremony, anarkalis can be worn for any occasion of auspicious celebrations and new beginnings.

Anarkali Kurtas Styling Tips

Nailing the perfect look with your anarkali is a breeze. All you need to do is follow these simple steps:

Pick a material that you are comfortable with. Keep the time of the day in mind when choosing the fabric.

Make up needs to be light that brings out your best features. Keep your hair flowing or tie it into a tight bun with a gajra to complete your look.

Keep your jewellery balanced. If you are going for an understated piece, then pick heavy jewellery for your ears and keep your necklaces light. A statement bangle or a belt drape would make just the right cut. When opting for more embellished anarkalis, keep your jewellery light.

Pay attention to your footwear. Jutis and high heels complement an anarkali well.

Potlis and clutches generally pair nicely with a flowing anarkali.

Perfect Picks for Any Wedding Event

Name any wedding ceremony and you can never go wrong with an anarkali suit set. For the bride’s squad, solid colours work well for engagements, while more sequined ones are ideal for the wedding day. For brides you can definitely opt for an opulent anarkali for your cocktail or engagement.

How to Choose the Right Anarkali Kurtas?

Our plus size suits for wedding collection is a wide plethora of options indeed. But which one’s the one for you? Stick to this guide for a hassle-free selection:

1. Check the fabric first. If you want a flair of royal elegance, then pure silk or pure silk tissue would be the best choice. For mornings, stick to light weight cotton or georgette.
2. Select your size very carefully with our size guide.
3. Have your look planned out from before. This way you already know what you are looking for and this will help you pick out the right design.
4. Choose the neckline carefully. If you are planning on heavy earrings, drop the neckpiece and instead go for an embroidered neckline. If you want to add a touch of sophistication, then a simple button neckline would work well and you can pair it with an earrings and neckpiece set.
5. Both long sleeves and quarter sleeves work well with anarkalis. If you are planning on flaunting your bangles, opt for quarter sleeves. For a more fuller look, go with full sleeves.
6. Pick your colour based on the time of the day. Opt for lighter colours for morning occasions, while darker shades work better for evening celebrations.

Caring for Your Anarkali Kurtas

These suit sets need proper care. It is always recommended to dry wash heavy pieces like anarkalis after every wear. Store in a cool and dry place and always steam iron before wearing them the next time to keep it crease-free.
