Poonam, a very close friend & a regular customer at Lavender, The Boutique was often sore about dresses, especially Sarees that has been in her wardrobe since her marriage and she would neither wear them nor would part with them for emotional reasons…
We asked her to bring them along…
She came back in a few days with a Chanderi Cotton Saree with a matching Brocade Blouse… Fortunately, not an outdated style but do understand Poonam’s problem in not having an occasion nor the willingness to wear Sarees in parties/ social meets
Given that Anarkali is the fashion now in 2017, we designed this outfit. We cut the Saree in Circular Cut, opened up the blouse and attached the two. A lame material plain Border was attached on the flair & an embroidery patch added to the Yoke..
We also decided to make this gorgeous with a contrast colour Orange Duppata with mirror work hand embroidery
The result was amazing!
Vikas (Poonam’s husband) still doesn’t know that his birthday gift 10 years ago, has now had a make-over!
