Handwork Details

• Applique work at the neckline in a geometric black panel
• A few real glass mirrors placed within the applique — two or three, set as accents rather than all-over mirror work
• Black floral vine embroidery running through the body of the shirt
• Deep applique border along the shirt hem

About the Applique

Applique is a technique where shaped pieces of fabric are cut and stitched onto the cloth, so the pattern sits raised on the surface with a defined edge rather than being printed or woven in. On this suit it forms the geometric panel at the neckline and the deep border at the hem, with a small number of real glass mirrors placed among the work as highlights.

Dupatta Details

• Muslin dupatta with a golden zari check woven through
• Deep navy ground with a mustard floral print
• Geometric printed borders that echo the applique on the shirt
• Tassels on two sides

Stitching & Size

This is an unstitched suit set, so you can have it tailored exactly to your measurements. The fabric can be stitched up to size 5XL. Point out the applique placement to your tailor before cutting, so seams are planned around the work rather than through it.

Occasion

Made for festive occasions — Navratri, the sargi morning, pujas, family gatherings and daytime celebrations. Mustard is a traditional Navratri colour, and the contrast dupatta makes the set read as festive without being heavy.

Care

Dry clean only. Store folded in a soft cotton bag, away from direct sunlight. Use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth, and never iron directly over the applique or the mirrors.
