Privileged Customer For This Week - BHARATHI

Bharathi used to be my regular client but when she shifted her residence, we lost touch. But I am glad, that she remembered me and got back to designing her clothes with me. I had an additional boost when she introduced her daughter who is also my client now as I am making some clothes for her and her niece too - Kirtana and Medha.

Bharathi is seen wearing a mango yellow kurtha with a black salwar and the dupatta is designed like a chess board except there are more colours on it. The fabric used is cotton silk. In the next picture, she is seen wearing a Kora Silk dress that has block print in the shape of waves. The third picture shows a different drape for the dupatta. In the last picture, she is seen wearing a plain cotton silk set in wine color with a crepe silk dupatta that is block printed in colorful hues that can be worn with different dress styles.

Dear Bharathi,
Congratulations! La Princesse presents you with a gift coupon as a thanksgiving. For more details you can check your email.
