If you have ever wondered why some lehengas look full, structured, and beautiful while others look flat and lifeless — the answer is almost always cancan . It is one of the most important tailoring materials for lehenga stitching, and yet it is one of the least talked about. At our Tailor's Supermarket in Avadi , cancan is one of our bestselling materials — and in this post, we explain exactly what it is and why it matters. What is Cancan? Cancan (also spelled kanchan or kankan) is a stiff netting fabric used as an underskirt or inner layer beneath a lehenga skirt. It creates volume, structure, and the characteristic full, flared shape that makes a lehenga dramatic. Without cancan, even the most beautifully embroidered lehenga will fall flat against the legs instead of flaring outward. Types of Cancan Available Soft cancan — light stiffness, good for everyday and casual lehengas Medium cancan — moderate volume, most popular for festive and party wear lehengas Stiff canc...

2026 weddings are all about outfits that are dramatic, modern, and still deeply rooted in Indian tradition . Two lehenga styles are dominating this wedding season — the jacket lehenga and the cape lehenga . At Mitaish Boutique in Avadi , we are stitching both styles for brides and wedding guests across Chennai. Jacket Lehenga — Structure and Versatility A jacket lehenga replaces the traditional blouse with a structured, fitted jacket that extends below the waist. The jacket can be long or short, embellished or minimal, and gives the outfit a fashion-forward, editorial feel. Why choose a jacket lehenga? The jacket can be worn with other outfits after the wedding — great value Covers the midriff fully — preferred for conservative wedding settings Works beautifully for winter weddings where extra coverage is welcome Best jacket styles in 2026: Embroidered long jacket with stand collar | Short brocade jacket with peplum hem | Double-breasted jacket with contrast lining Cape ...

Lehengas and anarkalis are two of the most requested garments at Mitaish Boutique in Avadi — for weddings, engagements, receptions, festivals, and college functions. But many customers come to us confused about the process — how long it takes, what fabric to bring, and what style will suit them best. This post answers all of it. Lehenga Stitching — What You Need to Know A lehenga has three components: the skirt (lehenga), the blouse (choli), and the dupatta. Each requires separate attention. The Lehenga Skirt: The skirt is the most fabric-intensive part. A full flared lehenga typically requires 5 to 8 metres of fabric depending on the number of layers and flare desired. The waistband must fit perfectly — too loose and it drops, too tight and it is uncomfortable for long events. At Mitaish, we stitch both: Simple layered lehengas — 2 to 3 layers with basic flare, ideal for college functions and casual occasions Bridal lehengas — heavily layered with cancan underskirt for...
