Fit for the pheras

I used to rent a generic sherwani that never sat right on the shoulders. Ordered a jodhpuri for my cousin’s wedding last month. The bandhgala sat clean through the ceremony and the embroidery caught the lights without looking loud. Sleeves ran a touch long until I had them taken in. Still wore it again at the reception.

Festival nights, finally sorted

For years I grabbed a plain cotton kurta from the local market the week of Navratri. This silk one with the embroidered hem has been in rotation for three functions already. Collar stays neat after a long evening. Wish there were more mid sizes, but the colour is exactly what I wanted. For years I grabbed a plain cotton kurta from the local market the week of Navratri.

Reception photos look expensive

I needed something Indo-Western for a friend’s reception after wearing the same black blazer twice. The ivory three-piece with the stole photographed well under banquet lights. Had it two weeks before the event so I could try it with my own shoes. Stole needed a pin, otherwise it was easy.

Partywear that still feels ethnic

I bought the wine partywear suit for a sangeet after years of mixing a kurta with jeans. Lapel detailing read well from across the hall. Wore it from 7 till midnight and the layers stayed in place. Not everyday fabric, but that is the point. I bought the wine partywear suit for a sangeet after years of mixing a kurta with jeans. Lapel detailing read well from across the hall.
