About Designer Occasion Wear
What I Do
I pour my love for embroidery into every outfit I make. For me, a garment isn't just about looking pretty - it's about capturing a moment and turning it into something you’ll want to remember, whether it’s your sangeet, wedding reception, or even a big family festival. I’m all about those tiny details and bringing your story to life with fabric and thread.
How We Create Together
When you reach out to me, it’s not a quick pick-and-go. We sit down, chat about what you want, your favourite colours, your style, and why this occasion matters to you. I work only by appointment so I can give you my full attention. Once we lock in your vision, I start sketching, picking fabrics, and slowly, stitch by stitch, your dream outfit takes shape.
What’s On Offer
- Hand-embroidered lehenga designs: From classic Mangalagiri silk with pleats to frilled tulle skirts and modern drape styles. I use fabrics like Chanderi, georgette, organza, brocade, and velvet.
- Custom festive gowns: Flowing, floor-length dresses in Anarkali or layered styles, with embroidered jackets or scalloped dupattas if you like. Expect unique sleeves and necklines too.
- Contemporary saree styles: Think half & half sarees, mixing prints, net, and organza. I pay attention to the blouse too - sequins, tie-backs, all the fun bits.
My Promise
Every piece from my studio is crafted to be treasured, not just worn and forgotten. You’ll see and feel the work in every detail. Some pieces take time. But if you want something truly you, that’s how it should be, no?

Whether you’re that modern bride or love the classics, I want you to feel like you’re wrapped in elegance, ready for your big day.
