About Ready-to-Wear Collections
My Take on Ready-to-Wear
I design clothes that let you feel good while looking elegant. My ready-to-wear pieces mix classic cuts with modern vibes - style bhi, comfort bhi (style and comfort both). I want you to put them on and instantly feel they belong.
Blouses & Saree Pairings
Blouses aren’t just add-ons here - they’re the hero of your look. I make everything from party-perfect corsets and bustiers to everyday halter necks and sleeveless high-necks. Think pearl details, floral embroidery, and rich fabrics like velvet and silk. If you’re after designer saree blouses that actually fit and flatter, you’ll find plenty.
Everyday Ease
Style’s not just for big events. My casual dresses are simple, long, and button-down - soft denim, cotton, linen, all breezy for the summer. Need loungewear? Grab a custom fit pajama set in prints you pick yourself. Comfort matters, so I stick with breathable fabrics you’ll actually want to wear.
Hatke Moments
If you want something hatke (different), this is where my fusion co-ord sets and contemporary kaftans come in. I love mixing prints, cuts, and fabrics - like a green printed set with cullotes, bustier, and jacket for Mehendi, or sequined drape dresses for cocktails. My statement Indo-Western ensembles are all about bold looks and handwork.
Personal Touches
If you spot a design but wish it came in another color or fabric, just ask. I’m happy to tweak pieces for you. Making sure you get the fit and vibe you want is what matters most to me.

My Story
Been at this since 1995, but you know, the excitement never fades. Started Alankriti in 2003 with my daughter, just believing style means feeling good in your own skin. For me, every outfit tells a story - from dance costumes that sway with each taal, to that dreamy sangeet lehenga. I love mixing tradition and a bit of fun, so whether it’s a twirly festive lehenga or a chilled-out linen dress, it’s always about you feeling ‘apni si’ (like yourself).
My Work
Custom & Ready-to-wear Fashion - We make everything - custom bridal lehenga, festive sharara sets, designer blouses for sangeet, linen co-ord sets, cotton casual dresses.
Made Just For You - Pick your own fabrics, prints, and fit. We design what suits your style, modern or classic.
Style Bhi, Comfort Bhi - High-quality fabrics, comfy fits, and a ‘hatke’ (different) look - no compromise on comfort.
Outfits For Every Occasion - From weddings to coffee dates, we’ve got something for every moment you want to remember.
