Ethnic skirts are a great way to pep your Indian wear style. Give way to your kitschy side and don a cute ethnic skirt instead of the regular lehenga. You can pair with a bustier top, a spaghetti top or even a well-fitted corset. Carry along an ethnic bag to make this look a winner! 🙂

5. Let the gown flow!
