Design Details
1. The Bodice & Neckline
Neckline: A wide, classic scoop neckline framed with a dense, heavy border of gold embroidery that accentuates the collarbone.
Sleeves: Full-length, fitted sleeves completely blanketed in intricate, continuous gold floral and vine motifs, finished with a thick cuff border at the wrists.
Waist: A structured, defined waistband featuring a decorative geometric gold belt design that separates the bodice from the sweeping skirt panels.
2. The Skirt & Flare
Front Panel Split: The gown splits elegantly down the center front, framed by wide vertical gold borders, showcasing an inner panel detailed with delicate bootis (isolated floral motifs).
The Hemline: The base of the skirt features a dramatic hierarchy of patterns—moving from bold, oversized paisley motifs (kaalka) into a dense geometric diamond grid border, finished with a heavy, structured gold hem line.
3. The Dupatta
Style: A matching deep maroon sheer net dupatta elegantly pinned over one shoulder.
Details: Edged with a matching, heavily embroidered four-sided gold border. The body of the dupatta is scattered with prominent gold circular chand-bootis and delicate spray work (chitta) that catches the light beautifully.
