CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK

Baby Diya is six months old. She reminds me of the Murphy Baby of yesteryears that used to come on calendars. She is very friendly and always has a smile on her face. I enjoyed making this dress for her and it was indeed a great pleasure to click her pictures as she was very much obliging in giving her own poses.

She is wearing a green silk pavadai set that is traditional and yet contemporary in style because of the pattern. Noodle straps have been attached to the top and though the outfit seems to be as a two piece set,  it is designed as one piece. The skirt portion is attached from the upper part of the top and a zip is provided at the back so that it can be easily put onto her. The straps and the edge of the top are embellished with swarsoki stones and the body and the skirt portion has been embellished with tiny flowers made out of brass sequins.

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEEK


Regina has got a lehenga set designed at my store for her reception. She wanted it to be as glitzy as we can make it. Hence we have added stones and zardozi with plenty of gold color sequins. Each brocade panel in the skirt is filled with sequins and stones. The edge of the skirt is enhanced with a zardozi border with red stones to highlight the multi color lehenga. The lehenga has panels of brocade cut in multi colors and stitiched together to give a flared effect to the skirt.
The mustard color choli has been designed with a deep neckline and a string with gold color zardozi hangings attached to it. It is a back open choli and the blouse sleeves and the neckline is enhanced with a beadswork border. The dupatta is in green georgette benares fabric with zardozi border on all four sides of the edges. Matching motifs have been made and attached to the dupatta with golden color sequins interspersed in between to give a glamorous look to the outfit.

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK

Mary is from Nagaland. She came along with her friends who referred my store to her. She is a  petite and very soft spoken girl. She always has a smile on her face and is very friendly.She is wearing the sari attire for the first time.

The sari is a pastel peach netted one worked with golden sequins. She is wearing a shimmer skirt  so that it can add glitz to her sari. The blouse is also made in a shimmer fabric and the design is inspired by the 70's look. The blouse is designed with a big bow and a deep V neckline at the back to add that vintage flavor to the contemporary look.

Tips on Preserving Expensive Clothes

Wrap the clothes in white cotton or muslin before storing. This will help in preserving the color and the sheen on the dress.
If you do not plan to wear these clothes for a few months, do not iron it before storing. It is better to iron it just before wearing it.
It is a good idea to air the clothes, away from direct sunlight, twice a year.
Never use napthalene balls along with heavy clothes with zari work on it, as they will get tarnished.
Avoid spraying perfume directly on the zari embroidery of such clothes.
If clothes have perspiration smell, dry clean them before storing them away and remember to give them only to a trusted launderer.
If the clothes have got stained while usage, never pack them inside before getting rid of them. They may turn out to be a stubborn stain.
Fabrics should not be over exposed to sunlight.
