PRIVILEGED CUSTOMER FOR THIS WEEK - NALINI KARAN

Nalini Karan is one of the most patient clients. She does not mind waiting for longer period of time as long as the end product that she gets is satisfying. Hence she rarely pressurizes me to give her early delivery dates. It is a pleasure designing clothes for her and her two daughters as they are very appreciative about embroideries and my weakness for embroidery is their strength. I love to design embroideries on saris, blouses, salwar sets, scarves....anything the customer wants to be embroidered, I am game for it.

Nalini is seen wearing saris for which the blouses were designed at my store. The pink sari has a brasso blouse which needed some kind of embellishment that would pop out to subdue the brasso effect. Hence we made velvet embroidery onto the blouse for her. In the second picture, the embroidery which is generally used on sleeves has been put on the back and the sleeves are matched with a matching small border. There are much more lovely blouses that have been designed for her but unfortunately, she has not worn them to my store wherein I could have taken her picture. I can understand as those saris are all functional wear.

Dear Nalini,
Congratulations! As a thanksgiving, I have a gift coupon for you from my store at La Princesse. Kindly check your email for more details on same.

PRIVILEGED CUSTOMER FOR THIS WEEK

Rajalaksmi or Raji is a customer whom I get to see at times, whenever I begin to get a thought, that she has forgotten my store. Telepathy seems to work in her case. She is always with two extreme situations - either she needs her clothes in a great hurry or she tends to give her clothes and forget that she has given me for designing. She is a very sweet person and has been with us for almost a decade now.

Raji is seen wearing a pretty green and fuschia combination sari with colorful thread work done on it. The sari is half and half style. The blouse is in a bronze fabric in shimmer brocade. The embroidery on the back of the blouse is designed to match the embroidery on the sari.

Dear Raji - Congratulations! As a thanksgiving, I have a gift coupon for you and the details for same will be emailed to you. Also let me remind you dear, I have some clothes ready for you. Do pick them up soon.

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK

Sophia and Elango got recently married and this is their first Valentine's Day together after marriage. I wish them lots of happiness and a happy married life together. Sophia got her wedding gown designed with me. She wanted a few changes in the style, as we proceeded with her gown and ultimately we managed to create it to her satisfaction.

I have specially put up the picture of their wedding card that was designed by Elango himself. He is a caricature artist and you can visit his website 'elosof' for more details related to his work.

Sophia's gown is embroidered with a thin satin ribbon and swaroski stones were interspersed on the upper half of the bodice and layers were created with the tissue fabric. Satin was used as the lining and the first layer was lifted up on the side to give a cone like drape. Roses were also made out of tissue and attached as a broach on the body and the waist. Her sleeves were made in  puff style to add that vintage look to the gown.

Dear Sophia - Congratulations! I hereby take great pleasure in presenting you with a gift coupon that can be redeemed at my store. Kindly check your email for more details. God Bless you both.

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK - SANDHYA

Sandhya is one of my oldest client with whom the store has grown from a mere business philosophy to its present outlook. She has become my best friend too and is the best critic through thick and thin. She is now gone to US on a vacation to spend time with her two lovely grand children. I miss her a lot.

In the first picture, Sandhya is seen wearing a green and pink dress that is in Chanderi with a lovely dupatta. The pastley print on the fabric is in velvet and that is what makes it stand out prominently. In the next picture, she is seen wearing a silk sari in orange color. She wanted some traditional embroidery on it. Hence we made kundan work which is associated with temple jewelry. The motifs have been sparsely placed and the blouse has been made heavy with similar work. We have used white and fuschia color stones as a contrast to the sari.
As a thanksgiving, La Princesse would like to present her with a gift coupon.

Dear Sandhya, Kindly check your email for more details. I also take this opportunity to wish you a 'Very Happy Birthday' that falls on Saturday 11th February 2012
