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 Dress, has front open styling with slit and button detailing. The Resham Chikankari has been done in a V shape on the front with two colour threads – White & Firozi. The back has an antique Paan motif that can be found in research books of Chikankari craft. It is a truly a travel back in fashion times, but with a contemporary, dressy twist.

The stitching of this Linen Dress 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, and gives a graceful form & structure.

The button patti has a broad strip of fabric on the inside of the kurta to provide full coverage & comfort in any posture.

Wear it like a dress to an Art Gallery opening, or slip on a pair of pants for an evening of theatre! This is one dress that never fails in exuding regal grace and charm.
