Custom Designer Outfits & Hand-Embroidered Couture
A look at some of my favorite creations. From showstopper engagement gowns to vibrant Haldi lehengas and matching family sets, this is a glimpse into the silhouettes and hand-embroidery I love bringing to life.
This custom-designed navy blue fish-cut gown was created for a client's engagement. The entire gown is covered in intricate hand embroidery using threads in shades of blue, cutdana, sequins, and salis to create a sparkling, textured look perfect for an evening celebration.
For a sunny Haldi ceremony, I designed this vibrant marigold Banarasi mermaid skirt paired with a hand-embroidered blouse. The fish-cut silhouette is a modern twist on traditional Haldi attire, and the mirror-work tassels add a playful, festive touch.
This bold, all-red ensemble is perfect for making a statement at a cocktail party or reception. It features a fully hand-embroidered crop top and a sheer organza cape with sequin work, paired with comfortable crape plazo pants for a modern, powerful look.
This video shows the transformation of a beautiful Lucknowi fabric into a timeless, elegant lehenga. Lucknowi work is a classic, and I love using it to create versatile pieces that can be cherished and worn for years to come.
Celebrating a new beginning with a custom maternity gown. This flowing peach gown was designed for a maternity photoshoot, featuring delicate ruffles and an off-shoulder neckline to make the mommy-to-be feel absolutely radiant.
A perfect party dress for a cocktail night or bachelorette party. This custom ivory short dress features sheer sleeves with intricate embroidery using self-colored cutdana and salis, finished with dramatic feather detailing on the cuffs and hem.
I absolutely love creating matching outfits for families. Here, I designed a set of twinning navy blue gowns for a client and her little niece, featuring delicate hand-embroidered bodices and elegant feather details on the shoulders.
It was a pleasure to dress the stunning Urvashi Rautela. She is wearing a custom black lehenga set, proving that a classic black outfit can be both fabulous and timeless for any grand occasion.
About Featured
Getting a custom outfit shouldn't feel intimidating. Whether you have a specific moodboard or just a vague idea of the silhouette you want, we start with a one-on-one consultation to nail down the fabric and cut. My process includes precise fittings—usually two sessions for gowns—to ensure that fish-cut or A-line silhouette fits you like a glove, rather than just pulling something generic off the rack.
My design philosophy revolves around 'ditching the basics.' Whether you are planning a destination wedding, a cocktail night in Mumbai, or a maternity photoshoot, the goal is to make you feel like yourself—only more glamorous. I specialize in hand-embroidery using cutdana, sequins, and Swarovski crystals to add that signature sparkle that catches the light.
The Design Process
- Consultation & Sketching: We start by chatting about your vision. I sketch, we tweak, and we select materials like organza, crepe, or velvet that suit the occasion.
- Structural Details: For gowns, I build in structural support like boning and can-can, ensuring the garment retains its shape throughout your event.
- Custom Finishes: Every piece is stitched by our team of artisans. From twinning sets for moms and daughters to heavy zardosi work for brides, every piece is made-to-measure.
Where We Work
Based out of my studio in Vashi, I serve clients throughout the Mumbai Metropolitan Area. If you aren't local, don't worry—I ship across India. Because we handle everything from the initial sketch to the final steam-ironed finish, you get a garment that is ready to wear, precisely designed to your measurements, and tailored to your specific style.
