Look resplendent in a Gharara !

‘Refreshing pastoral greens to soothe the mind and soul’

We created this outfit idea, that has the color of the spirit of Mother Nature.

A cool and peaceful hue, that you can incorporate into your everyday OOTD. It is like taking a deeper look into nature and losing yourself in all its loveliness.

An off white in color, Chanderi cotton Kurta with green bagh prints. Has a green boho, broad border at the edges and cuffs and is paired up with a loose gharara, made out of soft chanderi.

Touched with a soul renewing hued dupatta which is also spun out of chanderi cotton and is lusciously green and eye soothing.

The color green, despite being a dominant color in the heart of nature, doesn’t stand out as bright, but as a shade that can rejuvenate the subconscious without having to be loud and bold.

The complete look has been accessorized with gold over sized earrings, like sunlight dancing on young greenery.

Guide to curation and sources of the ensemble:

Chanderi Bagh Print Kurta

As mentioned before, the Chanderi cotton Kurta fabric had been bought from the local retailer and mine was 2.25 meters in length. It is way short in length, as I wanted longer sleeves. So, you’ve got a choice there, long length or long sleeves, you can have either with that length of fabric. My Kurta length was around 34″ and priced @ INR 500.

Gharara Creation

This soft petal fabric caught my eye at an exhibition in Bhopal. It’s a Chanderi cotton, however you can also opt for silk fabric as well. 3 meters of this pristine off white cloth was enough for me. But, in case you’re on the healthier side, then 3.5 meters should be just right. My gharara is 39.5 inches long and the fabric came for INR 350.

Things to check with your tailor while placing an order:

The amount of flare you want for your Gharara.

The joint stitching, where the pleats are attached, to be made loose or tight as per your comfort level.

Try opting for a complete elastic waist, instead of in the cloth belt. This ensures longer durability and prevents early wear and tear.

Last but not the least, make sure the length of the Gharara is measured keeping in mind the heel length, if you’re planning to wear one.

Dupatta Style

A green Chanderi cotton/silk dupatta, that is of perfect length and came for just INR 800. A beautiful find from Mrignayini.

Earring guide from my Pandora’s Box:

A favorite pick from a jewelry corner in DB Mall, Bhopal. Came for a whooping INR 3600! Couldn’t resist the rare sunshine like design and sheen and hence, invested in these gorgeous beauties!

Where to get it stitched?

Apologies, but can’t disclose that. One of the many perks of having your own fashion label, is you can get your dream outfit turned into reality, without having any second thoughts and opening oneself as first timers to tailors’s experiments.

However, if you’re into ethnic, you definitely have a favorite tailor, who grants your outfit wishes. For you all, I can guess that the stitching cost can range between INR 800 to INR 2500.

This is the complete step by step guide, to recreating the outfit and style that I am sporting in the pictures and I believe it’s gonna help anyone who wishes to carry this look or something similar to this revitalizing green splendor.

Saree for a summer afternoon!

Chiffon sarees are one of a kind and can possibly look great in both it’s minimalism and grandeur.It’s one such graceful fabric that makes it eye catching and absolutely hard to overlook.

This beautiful saree that I am wearing is powder pink pure chiffon.It has hand block prints of rose boughs that look refreshing against the soothing pink color.

I am in love with chiffons as the fabric gives an instant effortless styled sophistication that reminds us of the classics.Well,when talking about classics how can I forget to mention my all time fashion icon Maharani Gayatri Devi since I believed she had an impeccable and a truly minimalist sense of fashion and could carry a very simple saree with such grace that left the onlookers like me mesmerised.

Chiffon is an ideal choice for summers.One can always find a chiffon saree for every moment.Something like what I am wearing has a demure pastel effect that brings us back the today’s vogue of going unicorn-ey. This floral chiffon is perfect for sunny afternoons spent with ice lollies in our hands and that room on the roof with an wild rose plant peeping from the top.
