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.
