About this collection
Your blouse needs to handle hours of festivities, so I always recommend balancing the embroidery weight with your saree fabric. If you pick a heavy Kanjivaram or velvet, we focus the handwork on the sleeves and neckline to keep the blouse comfortable, ensuring you look radiant without feeling weighed down.
A great blouse is the soul of any saree. In my Jayanagar studio, I focus on the little details that make a huge difference—like getting the neck depth just right for your silhouette or ensuring the Maggam embroidery doesn't snag your delicate fabrics.
My Design Process
When you come in for an appointment, we start by sketching your neckline—sweetheart, deep V, or boat neck—to complement your jewelry and saree drape. Whether it is heavy zardosi for a wedding or minimal thread work for a festive pooja, we tailor the embroidery coverage to your needs.
Fabrics & Techniques
I love working with rich raw silks and plush velvets that hold embroidery beautifully. For those who want something unique, I specialize in transforming old saree borders into stunning blouse sleeves or backs. It is the perfect way to wear a memory.
The Perfect Fit
I never compromise on structure. We use premium padding, cotton lining, and precise measurements to ensure a zero-gap fit. For bridal pieces, I often schedule a muslin trial fitting so we can adjust the fall before the final fabric is touched.
Let’s design a blouse that you will love wearing again and again.
Tantava
I'm Nikitha, and I started Tantava because I believe a saree is only as good as the blouse paired with it. I pour my heart into every bead and stitch, obsessing over the details until it feels just right for you.
