Behind the Seams: My Handcrafted Process
Step inside my studio. See how I turn pure handloom cotton and Ikat into dresses, with every cut and stitch made specifically for you.
From cut to care, every stitch tells a story of craftsmanship and dedication. This video shows the journey of an Ikat dress being made in my studio.
Experience a day with me in my studio. Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at how I select fabrics, check designs, and bring my collections to life.
Here I am creating a stunning customized dress for a beautiful customer. I love working with you to make small tweaks so the final piece is perfect for you.
Ensuring perfection is key. Here, I'm checking the fitting of a wrapped Angrakha on the dummy before packing it for a customer. Every detail matters.
Thank you for your orders. This video shows me packing some of your favorite dresses, including the wrapped Angrakha and spaghetti flared dress, with love and care.
About Behind the Seams: The Making Of
When you order a dress here, I am the one checking the fabric, pinning the Angrakha on the dummy, and packing your parcel. Because I make everything in small batches in my Seawoods studio, I can adjust the fit for sizes up to 6XL. If you are worried about the drape or need a specific sleeve length, just message me—we can tweak the pattern before I cut the fabric.
How We Make It
My studio is not a factory line. It is just me, my fabric, and my love for Indian handlooms. When I source pure cotton or Ikat, I look for textures that feel like home. Making clothes is a slow process for me, but it is one I enjoy because it lets me ensure the quality is right.
Transparency in Every Stitch
- Fabric Inspection: Before a single cut is made, I check the weave. Ikat is a delicate craft, and I ensure it is structured yet soft against your skin.
- The Fitting: Whether it is a wrapped Angrakha or a tiered cotton dress, I test the fit on a dummy to ensure the silhouette sits correctly. I want you to feel comfortable, not restricted.
- Small Batch Packing: Every order is packed by hand. If you see me packing in our videos, that is the exact care that goes into your parcel.
Customisation for Every Body
I believe clothing should adapt to you, not the other way around. Whether you are an XS or a 6XL, the pattern is adjusted. We also offer a saree upcycling service where we take your old, cherished sarees and convert them into new dresses. We inspect the vintage fabric for strength, then redesign it into a piece that keeps your story alive. If you have a special request for a sleeve change or a longer hem, just ask. Let’s make something that fits you perfectly.
