PRIVILEGED CUSTOMER @ LA PRINCESSE

Shalini is one of my old clients who has been getting her clothes made with me for more than a decade now. She has an apple body structure and each time the silhouette has to be made in a manner that camouflages her lower half  of the body.

She is seen wearing a red striped dress worked with thread embroidery. In the next picture, she is seen wearing a sunny yellow salwar suit which is worked with flowers in multi coloured hues. The third picture shows her wearing a maroon kora silk dress with scattered stones.

PRIVILEGED CUSTOMER @ LA PRINCESSE

Monalisa is a new customer who came to me on recommendation of her family friend. She wanted to design her first sari with me. Hence I suggested that she make a one minute sari for herself as it would not only look ethnic but also easy to drape. It simply has to be wrapped around the body rather than set the pleats.

A combination of blood red, olive green and gold, the fabrics used are Benares georgette, crushed bandhej silk and tissue. An ethnic mirror work border has been attached along with a thin velvet border to enhance the dramatic effect of the sari.

The blouse has been designed in a traditional manner to contrast the contemporary look of the sari. A red and green combination velvet border has been used to enhance the colour base of the blouse along with pearls hangings at the edge of the back neck.

She is also wearing an Anarkali set in the next picture which is in a combination of black and blue in net fabric. The sleeves are set in sheer. The extra length was used to cut and attach as cuff for sleeves.

Tip of the Day

The versatility of an oversized cardigan is amazing. It works with almost all looks.

PRIVILEGED CUSTOMERS @ LA PRINCESSE

Christina, Gifta and Sheeba came to me for getting bridesmaid clothes done. Each had a pattern and style. I just helped them with the outcome of the styles they had in mind. Each of them chose well according to their body shape.

They are wearing a gown made out of rich satin in garnet colour and Christina has a shimmer net over the satin with a shrug. While Gifta and Sheeba used a lot of rouching over their dress to enhance the body shape. They all were extremely happy with the result.

 In fact, they recommended another client to me who came to get sari blouse designed in my store.
As a thanksgiving, La Princesse would like to present you with a gift voucher. Kindly check your email for further details.

PRIVILEGED CUSTOMER AT LA PRINCESSE - ANTRA

Antra is a student of SIET College and was referred to me by Nafisa, another student at the same college. She was so happy with the style and fit that she referred her mother to me who also became my client. This is the best way in which my clients list becomes bigger and that is through word of mouth. Thanks to all those who are continuing to do it for my store. Love you all!

ANTRA is seen wearing a maroon silk dress that has been designed in a sari. The borders on the sari were used to create an ensemble that not only looked rich and heavy but also chic and ethnic at the same time. She wanted to learn a few dupatta drapes from me out of the 50 nos( which I shared with you all in my earlier posts). In the first picture, she is seen draping the dupatta on one shoulder and the other side being draped over the hand. In the next picture, she is seen draping the dupatta in a coat style drape. The third picture shows her wearing the dupatta in a V style drape. All these three styles are good for dupattas that have fine borders that need to get highlighted.

As a thanksgiving for becoming my client, La Princesse presents you with a gift voucher. You may kindly check your email for further details. Congratulations!

FASHION NEWS FROM LA PRINCESSE

Dhothi salwar which originated in the villages of Pakistan is in vogue. It is much preferred because it looks stylish and though the villagers wore it in cotton fabric for their comfort, we, designers prefer to give it an improvised look with different textures. The cowls that fall on the side of the salwar give a very trendy look to the kurthi worn with it. The kurthi is heavily worked with brass sequins for that exclusive party wear effect.

Priya is wearing a royal blue gown made out of satin and embroidered net. She was referred to my store by another client for whom I had made the wedding gown. The net is given in the skirt as a kali panel and the sleeves are in net to give that sheer effect and the net is draped in front and neatly pinned up with a broach. She was very happy with the outfit designed for her.

Srivarsha is wearing a blue green combination maxi. She is my regular client from Abu Dhabi who visits me annually. She is seen wearing a long dress with net and brocade. The green net with brocade lining adds elegance to the dress and the upper bodice has been highlighted with a drape of the brocade fabric clustered together on one shoulder with a stone broach. In the next picture, she is seen wearing a knee length dress made in velvet and printed satin to give that drape onto her body. It was amazing to see her having changed from a chubby girl to a slim and trim girl. This gave her the opportunity to wear textures like brocade and stiff net which otherwise I would generally avoid using it for her body structure.

As a thanksgiving, La Princesse, would like to present Priya and Srivarsha with a gift voucher. Kindly check your email for more details on same.

PRIVILEGED CUSTOMERS FOR THIS WEEK ; SAMANTHA RAYEN, CANDY, CHERYL, JEZIRA, MAGAN & TRINITY

I know Samantha from her school days as she happens to be my daughter's friend. She wanted me to design her wedding gown. She had a set pattern in mind, which I slightly improvised to suit her body shape.
Voila! She looks gorgeous in her wedding attire. I made a few salwar sets for her trousseau and of course designer sari blouses. Here is wishing her a very happy married life.

Candy, Cheryl and Jezira were the bridesmaids and it was fun designing for them. Their dresses were made in soft mint green and gold  color to match the theme of the wedding. Though I had some last minute work to be done on Cheryl's dress especially as she was coming from UK, just a week ahead of the wedding, it was very satisfying to see them smile and say they loved it. 

Magan and Trinity, the two lovely girls who had also come from UK were so excited to see their outfits that were once again designed at the last moment. They were too happy to model for me. 

Samantha is wearing a classic greenish beige salwar set that has a lovely dupatta. The beauty of the dress lies in the dupatta that has been made with waves designed in bright jewel tones to set a contrast to the outfit.

Dear Samantha, Candy, Cheryl, Jezira, Magan and Trinity,
Congratulations! As a thanksgiving, La Princesse would like to present you with a gift voucher. Kindly check your email for more details.

Your smile is an accessory that other people will appreciate the most. Even the most chic of ensembles will lack a little something if you have not worn a smile. So make sure to always have one intact.

The price tags great too, it's absolutely free.

An interesting story on how zardozi embroidery began

Once a mosquito found entrance to a king's head. The fluttering of this mosquito caused the king severe headache. Every kind of treatment had failed. Finally a sage advised the head hakim in his dream that the king would be cured if he is hit by a shoe in the area of pain. The hakim narrated his dream to his associates. They executed a plan. A shoe decorated with pure gold and silver threads was ordered to be made for the purpose. The king was hit with the shoe on his head. This killed the mosquito curing the king of his ailment. The king in turn appreciated the artistic outlay on the shoe and desired to patronise the work. Other emperors and nobles followed him. That is how zardozi embroidery came into being.

Others comment on our radiance. And chances are, we are wearing something that makes sense for our body. Consciously or unconsciously, we have enhanced the spots to be highlighted in our body and that is what makes the difference.

Should you not be paying more attention to what you are wearing this summer? In each season, one fabric stands out as a shortcut to style. For summer, it is cotton.

Sreedevi had visited my store last year when she had come for a vacation. She resides in US and it was a pleasant surprise to meet her again this year. The last time she visited my store and got herself a dress made,  she had wished that she had come across my store earlier as she wanted to place an order for several clothes. But she did assure me that the next year, she will be back and will make sure that I had enough time to make more designer outfits for her. I had forgotten about it until I saw her again at my store and she said...."Here I am Tabu, back to you....".and as promised she did place an order for some designer outfits to be made for her. I was feeling ecstatic and its a high  feeling of joy when my clients revert back to me with good feedback and also recommend through word of mouth. I take this opportunity to thank all of you who have stood by me ever since La Princesse was just a business philosophy. I owe my standing to all you gals out there. Three Cheers to You All!!!
