Why I Do What I Do
Seeing someone light up in an outfit we designed together is the best part of my job. At Tantava, every piece is made just for you - nothing off the rack, nothing generic.
What I Make
- Women’s wear: Traditional half sarees, fish-cut lehengas, classy sequin gowns, georgette Anarkalis, and my favorite - hand embroidered blouse designs. Love bold details? We can do deep V-backs, puff sleeves, or rich velvet.
- Men & kids: From custom kurta sets to Bundi jackets for men, and adorable Pattu Pavadai style frocks or lehengas for kids.
- Custom family matching outfits: Twinning for festivals, weddings, or those big family photos. Mother-daughter, couple, or the whole gang - I get a real kick out of making these.
Upcycling Old is Gold
Got an old saree with memories? Let’s turn it into something new - a kurti, upcycled saree dress ideas, even a gown. Bringing a piece of your history into the present is honestly my soft spot.
How We Work
Appointments only, so you get my full focus. You pick the colors, fabric, and vibe. I’ll guide you through options, sketches, and those “work in progress” moments where you see the magic happening. We use everything from organza to raw silk - depends on what you love and what suits the occasion.

Every piece is made with love, for your big moments – be it gruhapravesh or your shaadi (housewarming or wedding).
