Khayal (moodboard):

When creating this dress, we wanted to delve into the very functional old school tailoring, that is rare to find now. This is a fine Jacket style front open Kurta dress. The style is borrowed from Achkan worn by Nawab Aristocracy in the old days. The design is made more contemporary & has been reimagined for women. The embroidery has minimalist and antique sensibility, with focus given to fine quality craftsmanship. Mother of Pearl buttons add a regal grace to this dress.

Poshaak (about the garment):

The old school tailored Linen Achkan Dress, has front open styling. The Resham Chikankari has been done in a V shape on the front with two colour threads – White & Firozi. This has been done to bring out the beauty of the work & material both. The back has an antique Paan motif that can be found in antique research books of the craft. It is a truly a travel back in fashion times, but with a contemporary twist.

The stitching of this Achkan Kurta was perfected after numerous trials. It has been heavily researched & antique masterclass stitching expertise has been revived for it, so that it fits all body types, especially Indian. The button patti has a broad strip of fabric on the inside of the kurta to provide full coverage & comfort in any posture.
