From delicate Aari work to bold Zardosi, every stitch tells a story. See the textures and custom patterns that define my signature blouse designs.

This blouse is all about unique details. I used a rich brown fabric and created an intricate neckline with Zardosi work. The standout feature is the custom tassels, made from layered, petal shaped fabric pieces that add a beautiful, three dimensional touch.

A beautiful example of a contrast design. This off white blouse features delicate pink floral embroidery and striped details. The unique back cutout and the contrasting pink patterned fabric on the sleeve cuff add a modern and playful element to a classic design.

I love playing with different textures and colors. This elegant beige blouse features a sleeve made with a traditional gold silk border. The body of the blouse is adorned with delicate floral embroidery using pink and red threads, pearls, and stones for a subtle pop of color.

About The Art of Handwork: Blouse Details

I don't just sew fabric; I build structure. Whether it is a princess cut for a flawless silhouette or integrating sheer net patches to mimic temple jewellery, my focus is on the construction underneath the embroidery. You get an outfit that sits perfectly on your shoulders without constant adjusting, because my father always told me there is always scope for improvement in the fit.
