The lehenga is the long flared skirt worn with a choli and dupatta for weddings and festivals, and its flare comes from how the kali panels are cut. These are cutting diagrams: the waistband, the panels and the skirt opened flat. The three skirts are a kalidar of tapering panels, a circular skirt cut as a full ring, and an A-line with a can-can lining. Type a different skirt and it is a request, not a guaranteed picture.

Frequently asked questions

What is a kali?
A kali is one tapering panel of the skirt. A kalidar lehenga sets several side by side, and the sheet shows how they lie on the cloth.
How does a circular lehenga differ?
The skirt is drawn as a full ring with the waist circle in the middle, so the flare comes from the full circle.
Does the sheet include the choli or dupatta?
No. The sheets show the skirt and its waistband only.
Can I ask for a bridal lehenga?
Yes, by typing it as a direction. That is a request; the nine pictures show the three skirts above.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
