Kalidar Lehenga Flare & Waist-Panel Calculation Formula

By Bridal Cutting Specialist • Boutique Diary

A grand bridal lehenga derives its royal silhouette from the precision of its panel geometry (kalis). If the top of each kali is cut even 0.2 inches too wide, the finished waist will be oversized and bunch awkwardly around the belt.

1. The Core Kalidar Mathematical Formulas

Top Kali Width (Waist): (Client Waist / Total Kalis) + 1.0" seam margin.

Bottom Kali Width (Flare): (Desired Total Flare / Total Kalis) + 1.0" seam margin.

Cancan Layering: Install 2 to 3 tiers of hard nylon cancan net attached to inner cotton lining skirt.
