The potloi, a drum-shaped skirt with a satin covering on top made of strong fibre and bamboo, distinguishes Manipuri bridal gowns from others. The ensemble has shimmering sequins and threadwork, along with a vahan that is fully embellished with mirror pieces.

Motifs must put in several hours of labor work to finish the detail at the skirt’s hem. It has a flowing veil that covers the body and is fastened with a ceremonial belt. A half-sleeved shirt, decorative necklaces, and an intricate three-tiered headpiece known as the Kokgee Leiteng finish off the outfit.
While the traditional Potloi is worn with a green shirt and a white drape, Urvashi chose to wear the red skirt with a red top.
The potloi’s history begins in the old Meitei dynasty, when Meidingu Bhagyachandra Maharaj (1763–1798 AD) wore it as his dance outfit. It is now considered one of the traditional wedding gowns among the Meitei population of Manipur. Making potloi is a highly valued job in the state that has been passed down to subsequent generations.
