About Custom Women's Occasion Wear
Why I Do This
Making someone feel amazing in an outfit that’s really theirs - that’s what drives me. I’m obsessed with moving beyond boring basics and making trendy, one-of-a-kind pieces. If you’ve got a wild idea or just a Pinterest moodboard, I can help shape it into reality. The best moment? When I see a bride twirl in her custom bridal lehenga design and just glow.
What I Make
- Gowns for cocktail nights, engagement parties, or that showstopper bridal look (think hand-embroidered party gown with fish-cut or A-line silhouette).
- Lehengas, including Lucknowi embroidery for the classic vibe or Banarasi silk for Haldi ceremonies.
- Easy drape sarees with fancy blouses and belts - no fuss, just style.
- Shararas and co-ord sets, perfect for Mehendi or a destination wedding.
- Dresses for everything from theme parties to designer maternity dress shoots.
My Process
Your vision matters. We’ll chat, sketch, and tweak everything - silhouette, colors, and all those tiny details. I love creating mother-daughter matching outfits too, especially for those Insta-perfect family moments. I work with clients across India and ship worldwide, so borders don’t hold us back.
The Details
Hand embroidery is my signature. I work with cutdana, sali, sequins, Swarovski crystals, and sometimes throw in feathers, shells, or leather for extra drama. Fabrics? Velvet, organza, crape - only the good stuff.
For Every Celebration
Weddings (Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet), cocktail parties, birthdays, maternity shoots - if it’s a special occasion, I’m here to make you stand out.

My Story
Hey, I’m Shalini. Clothes aren’t just clothes for me, they’re memories stitched together. I get super excited by tiny details – that hand embroidery, the way a drape sits, the sparkle from a crystal, all of it. Watching a sketch turn into a real outfit with our Indian artisans is just wow. But nothing beats seeing you light up in your outfit, doing a happy twirl or just feeling fab. Celebs or not, I want every woman to feel classy, confident, and herself.
