Powder-Blue Botanicals, Gathered at the Side

A softly printed ivory kurti uses piped seams, adjustable side gathers and handmade hangings to shape its volume.

A print kept light

Powder-blue flowers, leaves and painterly marks drift across ivory, with occasional metallic accents catching the light without crowding the surface.

Piping gives softness a frame

Fine blue piping circles the neckline and runs vertically down the front. Those disciplined lines balance the generous A-line shape.

The wearer controls the volume

Side ties gather the kurti where desired, then finish in fabric diamonds and pearl-like beads. A small covered button closes the back keyhole—a quiet final piece of handwork.
