I found something. Someone on a forum or something like that was asking about a Kameez Lengha (sometimes spelled lahenga) which is the tunic with the skirt. I guess Lengha means skirt. Anyway, they were saying that this was the Pakistani style as opposed to the lengha choli which is more of an Indian style. So maybe your outfit is Pakastani? Teena

Pakistani? Not sure what it is. Lauren, Thanks for the link!! Not a lehenga choli like those pictures. No. The top is a *tunic* and not a choli. It's as if you were to take a Punjabi pantsuit *tunic* and place it over the long lovely skirt from the Lehenga choli. I'll find time later to post the pic of me wearing it. I'm unforgivably paleface, but the outfit is nice :) ==Marjorie Wilser On Nov 1, 2012, at 7:36 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > > It's a lehenga choli. > > http://www.exoticindiaart.com/textiles/SalwarKameez/lehenga/ > > > > The "Punjabi pantsuit" is called a salwar kameez.
