Garba get-ups for girls & women, in soft, sensory-friendly fabrics

Lifestyle

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 wearing a red and blue traditional ghagra complete with jewelry for the head, neck and hands. She has worn her dupatta pinned draped halfway across the chest and pinned to the side.

“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.
