Nakshatra Sequin & Pearl Reception Blouse

A scatter that gets denser towards the neckline and thins out at the hem, so the eye is pulled up. Net backing keeps a sheer georgette wearable without adding a second visible layer. How it is made Sitara stitched with a bead centre so no thread shows, pearls hung on short worked stems along the neckline and mohri. What it suits Reception and sangeet, under lights. Photographs very well.

Each piece is worked by hand, so slight irregularities are part of it, not a defect.

Country of origin: India — worked at our T. Nagar, Chennai studio. Shipping policy

Made-to-measure pieces are not returnable — they are cut against your body. What we do promise in writing: one free alteration within 15 days of delivery for anything on our side, and a loose stone re-fixed free for 6 months. Once a blouse is cut, a neckline or back cannot be made shallower, and a heavily embroidered panel cannot be let out. Full policy

• Dry-clean only. Never machine wash, never soak, never hand-wash. Water dulls zari, tarnishes zardozi wire and can rust the metal in kundan settings.
• Tell your dry-cleaner it is hand embroidery with metal work and stones, and ask for gentle solvent cleaning with the work protected. Avoid cleaners who press the piece flat under a machine.
• For a small mark, dab — do not rub — with a dry white cloth, and take it to the cleaner rather than treating it at home.
• Iron only from the reverse, on low heat, with a cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric.
• Never iron over stones, kundan or 3-D motifs at all. Press the plain areas around them.
• Turn the blouse inside out before storing, so the work faces inward.
