Priyanka’s deep red Kanauj rose Sabyasachi lehenga has intricate French embroidery and fine sequin work on it. All of it was custom made by 110 embroiderers from Kolkata over a staggering 3,720 hours, Sabyasachi says. The ace designer also says that the Quantico actor herself chipped in. Sabyasachi released a video on Instagram that gives a glimpse of the craftsmanship and the thought process that went into putting the finely designed lehenga together.
''While some bride stay rooted in purist tradition, others aspire to re-interpret it to suit their personalities. Priyanka Chopra’s neo-traditional bridal lehenga was the result of an active collaboration between the designer and the bride," Sabyasachi posted in Instagram.
