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.
