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.
