Alankriti by Rachna Arvind

About

For me, a stage costume isn’t just fabric stitched together — it’s what lets you express the emotion and rhythm of every move. I think about the taal, the thumri, the spins. Every piece is made so your ghungroos, your twirls, your story stand out on stage.

What I Do Best

• Custom Kathak costumes are a big part of my work – I make Anarkali dresses and lehenga sets with massive flare (ever tried a 12-meter ghera?). Because when you spin, the costume should dance with you.
• If you need a dance drama costume partner, I’ve got experience with big productions, from mythological characters to entire groups. Directors trust me to match their vision.
• Sangeet performance outfits and festival wear are in my wheelhouse. I love bringing colour and life to Garba, Dandiya, and Navratri pieces.

How We Work Together

You bring your vision, I bring my craft. We’ll talk about your story, choreography, and what you want your costume to say. We’ll pick fabrics, work out details like embroidery and mirror work, and make sure you get something truly hatke (unique).

For All Sizes, All Stages

Style bhi, comfort bhi (style and comfort too) — always. I work for solo artists, dance schools, even parents hunting for the right costume for their kids. Every fit is personal, every costume is made here, with you.
