Handcrafted Bridal Outfits and Designer Wear
This collection is a glimpse into my studio. I specialize in custom bridal blouses, lehengas, and gowns that balance traditional hand-embroidery with modern, fluid silhouettes.
A full bridal look for a radiant client. I designed this traditional half-saree lehenga with a heavily embroidered pink blouse and a contrasting gold skirt, focusing on creating a timeless piece for her special day.
This is where my passion for detail comes to life. A custom bridal blouse in a rich purple, featuring intricate zardosi and threadwork with pops of turquoise, designed to be the statement piece of a bridal ensemble.
A modern take on occasion wear. This vibrant red ruffled lehenga saree, complete with a full-sleeve bandhani-inspired blouse, was designed for a client who wanted to make a bold and stylish entrance at a sangeet.
The timeless elegance of Chikankari. I designed this flowing georgette gown for a client seeking a graceful and sophisticated look for a daytime event, showcasing the beauty of traditional Indian handwork in a contemporary silhouette.
The peacock motif is a signature element in my designs. Here, I've used zardosi and threadwork to create a stunning peacock on the back of a magenta silk blouse, a perfect example of custom ethnic wear artistry.
A floral fantasy for a modern celebration. This custom lehenga set features a vibrant blue brocade blouse paired with a light, flowing floral print skirt, ideal for a reception or festive occasion.

About Featured
I believe the process is as important as the final garment. Whether we are planning a complex Aari-embroidered blouse or a fluid reception gown, I start every project with a one-on-one sketching session. This allows us to define your silhouette and select the exact motifs before a single thread is stitched.
My work at Yukba is rooted in the belief that Indian ethnic wear should feel personal. When you come to the studio, we are not just picking fabric, we are building a narrative for your event.
The Craftsmanship
Every piece features detailed hand-embroidery. I focus heavily on traditional techniques like Aari, Zardosi, and Resham work, often incorporating floral or peacock motifs. For my bridal blouses, I prioritize structural integrity with built-in padding and heavy back designs, ensuring the garment is as comfortable as it is striking.
Custom Design Process
- Consultation: We discuss the event, your preferences, and the vision. We start with sketches to finalize the look.
- Fabric Selection: Depending on the occasion, I select premium raw silk, velvet, or fluid fabrics like georgette and crepe.
- The Fit: For gowns and lehengas, I conduct toile fittings to ensure the silhouette matches your body lines before we cut the final fabric.
Our Styles
- Bridal Blouses: Heavy embroidery with Zardosi, sequins, and French knots.
- Reception Gowns: Structured, modern silhouettes with boning and placement embroidery.
- Light Occasion Wear: Hand-finished Chikankari and block-printed sets for festivals or smaller gatherings.
I design for the modern Indian woman who values the soul of traditional art but desires a contemporary, fluid drape. If you have an outfit idea, I am happy to help you bring it to life.
