About Custom Occasion Wear
Where Inspiration Comes From
Nature is my biggest muse. I find inspiration in everything - the colors you see in a sunset, the feel of monsoon air, even the sound of leaves rustling. For me, making an outfit is more than just picking cloth and thread, it’s about weaving a dream that’s all your own.
How I Work With You
Designing your custom occasion wear is a teamwork thing. We’ll start with a heart-to-heart chat, where you tell me what you want and I listen - really listen. I sketch out ideas so you can see them come alive on paper. Then we hunt for fabrics together - Benaras silks, glass organza, French lace, whatever catches your eye. My tailors and embroiderers get to work, and we go through fittings till it feels just right.
What I Make
- Handcrafted bridal lehenga, modern or classic, with embroidery that tells your story
- Personalized reception gown for parties or pre-wedding shoots, with flowy shapes and unique drapes
- Bespoke designer saree with 3D florals, French lace, or bold threadwork
- Custom bridesmaid outfits and festive looks with special touches
What Makes My Work Different
It’s all in the details - Chanderi silks, velvet, satin, and handpicked embellishments like crystal tassels and glittery laces. I don’t rush the process and sometimes, things take time to get just right. But I won’t give you anything I wouldn’t wear myself.
Occasions I Love Dressing You For
Weddings, cocktail nights, festive days, sangeet, mehendi, and even fun pre-wedding photoshoots. Basically, whenever you want to feel your best.

My Story
Outfits, for me, are memories stitched together. My design journey? Always side-by-side with nature. Petals, wind, gardens - they sneak into my motifs. Started this house so brides could wear their dreams, not just clothes. The smile when they see themselves in a custom bridal lehenga, that’s the stuff that makes my day. Every piece, a bit of someone’s story. That’s what I love.
