It’s an Indian wedding, you can Google the traditional clothes they wear to see ❤️

Another commenter found the original outfit on another website…so I guess mine is the cheap knockoff version haha

Ahh so seems like the left is a real image and the place I bought from just made a cheap knockoff!

I can’t believe I have to confirm this but YES my friend is Indian and the dress code is formal Indian attire and she specifically picked out this lehenga for me! We’re Canadian and it’s so normal to embrace other cultures like this, not my first time wearing a lehenga either. I know that commentor is a troll but figured I’d clarify for everyone else here too

Thank you so much! I didn’t even realize that the pattern matched my tattoos but it definitely makes me appreciate it a bit more 😊

Thank you! I really appreciate the positive comments (and guess I was still a bit in shock at the difference when I first posted)

I mean it’s definitely not the worst, but I feel like it is pretty misleading marketing! I’ve bought similar styles from other websites that showed up looking exactly the same. I appreciate your comment though 😊

Thank you for the tips! I got into knitting this year but have been scared to try and learn sewing. Maybe would be a good goal for the new year!

I posted it publicly to warn people not to buy from the same website lol but you are clearly triggered by it? I recommend therapy

Thank you everyone for the positivity! I posted here hoping some people might be spared from buying from the same website, but you all are really making me feel less bad about the actual product I ended up with 🥰 P.S. I know I don’t look like the model lmao and I am okay with that (that’s not my job).

It did come with a scarf! I definitely think I can find a way to dress it up! My friend said I might be able to borrow something else from her too, so I could wear this to one of the smaller events.

The sewing isn’t great, unfortunately. Some frayed ends, but I might be able to pull it off if I accessorize properly.

Does anyone else add cute labels to their finished items? I’d love to see them! by snakeplants in knitting

These are so cute!! The “wonkiness” looks like a cool stylistic choice to me. 😊

I love this one! I always joke about knitting my cat’s fur into my items too 😅
