Garba get-ups for girls & women, in soft, sensory-friendly fabrics
The Navratri festival has kicked off and for those of you looking to enjoy the nine days of feasting and dancing in traditional wear, we have a sample of garba get-ups in comfortable, sensory-friendly fabrics.
Ahmedabad-based dance teacher Alpa Desai Sharma prefers such fabrics for daughter Mohina.

“Mohina is not so particular about colours, but as someone with Down syndrome, she is more comfortable in fabrics that are soft to the touch. I usually buy cottons for her, but if the fabric is synthetic, I make sure there’s cotton beneath.I avoid heavy ghagras with heavy embroidery work on the border and prefer lace borders as they are soft”.
Mohina is wearing an orange patterned skirt with a sleeveless black top and a pink dupatta.
If you are looking for garba get ups, here’s a range in comfy fabrics, all under ₹2,000.

Varudi Fashion Women’s Embroidered Semi Stitched Lehenga Choli With Blouse Piece
The orange-deep red combo looks gorgeous and rich. There’s heavy gold threadwork on the border and smaller gold patterns on the rest of the skirt. The fabric is silk which makes for comfortable wear.
