Onam Vishu Kurti Designs

 It is traditional to wear a set saree or a set mundu for onam or vishu. Or sometimes you have special event at your temple and you want to wear something Kerala style. But you do not want to wear a saree, Here we have listed a few designer kurti designs for such occasions where you can stay comfortable in a kurti and yet slay the trad look. 

This is a silver and ona kodi combination. There is no handwork element added to this. It is done in a maxi dress pattern. Silver fabric with self mirror work has been added to the yoke portion and also the sleeve end. There are small pleated gathers at the waistline. 

The fabric used is premium kota with abstract self design. Cut bead work has been given to enhance the look on the neck and sleeve. This design is a little different from the usual ones and you can prefer such designs if you do not want to get lost in the crowd of similar designs. This is a slited salwar suit. You can choose to wear with or without dupatta. A light golden silk dupatta will be a great match.

This piece is a lovely handcrafted one with handwork on the neckline and sleeve end. A similar design of traingles have been used with a tad bit of thread work french knots. The color is beige and the soft handlom cotton fabric will make you feel comfortable even when the sun is above your head. 

This is a much loved design. Several design elements have been used int his one.  The golden net self design fabric patch has been used on the yoke. It's made in 3 panels with slit. The panels are enhanced with golden piping. The net fabric has been used in an insert style on the sleeves and the ghera. And finally, it is a collar design and pleated sleeve design has also been included. But the point to note is that, all these design elements have been imbibed into a single simple kurti design without making it look exaggerated. 

Will post in more pics of this lovely black and silver tissue zari onam design kurti. Black fabric with self mirror work has been used in the central portion and sleeve. the piping on the sleeve finishes the look. There are small bead hangings on the end of the central portion. 

More such designs will be posted in time to come. Keep watching the space.

Yes, the color of the salwar could be the reason for the high number of saves. The lovely pista green shade. As you can see from the picture it is a simple neckline. 

Necklines are the most easiest to enhance as you have a small area to work upon and can give a heavy work look. But the problem we face with neckline work is with customers who wear a dupatta. But this one came with a one side dupatta, so the design was perfect. 

Always note that thread work element adds its own elegant to the dress. But when you give your dress for handwork, be known that thread embroidery work takes a longer time than simple beads. Instead of going for bullion flowers or so, stick to simple designs like the above, where we have rounded the pearl with frenchknot in  thread. 

The rest is simple tube beads, sugar beads and kundan work. if you are wondering about the dupatta, we had given a light golden shade dupatta with green piping border.

Palanquin baarat wedding blouse design ideas

Baraat or palanquin design blouses are becoming the trend these days for the Bride's. They are extensively worked and range from 18k onwards. The work depicts the bride and groom and some even have the

This is a less heavier version of the barat design which has the palanquin with the bride and the palanquin carriers and a horse. The plus factor of this design is that it will stay in your budget and yet make the blouse grand enough. The cut work is a must have for all blouses.  Other than the palanquin, the rest designs are simple. 

Let's jump right into the heavy design from the simple one. This has some intricate detailing imbibed on it. 

 It has a chariot with the bride in it and the rest also has been heavily worked in zardosi and the colored part in thread. The umbrella design and the elephant on the sleeves also involves intricate elements. The weaved tube bead work on the sleeve and neck is indeed a major factor and can be picked up as a hand embroidery idea.

This is one the best baraat designs we have seen with serious hand embroidery detailing. If you notice, the jhumka design is a pure must for the design. The bride and the palanquin holders has been hand created with utmost care. The faces have been beautifully aari worked. The combination of red, white and golden gives the royal look. 

This is a two later design with baraat om the top layer and peacocks and jhumka in the lower layer. The blouse back is almost fully covered. 

These are simple variations of the bridal design. The back neck is straight in one type. That has to be done with proper thinking as some many have a difficulty with such a closed and neck line toughing the back neck. Some may not wear such a long blouse, so do recheck before going for a double layer design. 

Sajna Bridal Wear is one of the top notch bridal blouse designers of India. They have some of the best designs and intricate art works. Bead work is the king here. The sequin singles gives the filler. 

When it comes to designer Sakina Ahmed, the design is always a class apart. Have a close look at the design detailing and you will be in awe with the various elements, design and crafting done not the blouse. Just as a matter of fact, the back side one image has gone completely covered by the hair.

This design by Mahitha Prasad is a lighter version . The elephant LATKAN is a good add on . 

 I might say this is a rather too heavy work for a blouse. The combination of red and golden on green seems a bit odd too. Another similar bridal procession design done my Maple Boutique has been done in utmost elegance.

The hangings on the blouse back gives a mughal feel to it. 

 Too much detailing on the second layer will make this an expensive design from Zarigai by Gitanjali. The chariot holders look rather royal.

 The next designer in row is Vanitha Prasad who is known for her bridal blouse works.t his has a check sleeve design . The doli baraat picture forms the back of the blouse. The usual floral designs cover up the rest of the area.

The red and white comBination is more like a bengali bride with matching jhumka hanging. The lines on the sleeves in red is to be noted. 

Pink and green combination might seem too glittery for some. But it gives a rather traditional design. The base design is the same. 

Coral green is one of my favorite and this specific one has some oh so lovely zardosi detailing of the doli barat ghode and aadmi. 

Haldi dress design from Crystelle Designer Boutique

It was done in a such a short time span that we could not take any making pics. This is a budget friendly haldi dress which has been done in full circular flair. The asymmetric hemline along with the net layering is the beauty of the dress. The selling price of the dress is 6k. 

 

The yoke haa been worked with red beads and cut bead flowers. We have made an overall work so that we can cover a better area with hand work and still stay in the customer budget. The lace border has also been kept simple. 

 The asymmetric hemline has been finished with stiff canvas cuttings to give the fiNished look to the end line. The frilled net layer gives the color contrast to the dress. And finally the can can net layer beneath brings out the fullness .

Mask Designs

With Corona times, wearing a mask is the new normal. When you get out of your home, the very moment you will have to wear a mask. The nation is back to normal after the lockdown and we are trying to live with corona. 

There are some basic necessities of using a mask. The first and foremost factor that you look for is coverage. It is necessary that the mask should cover your nose and mouth. But it should not be big such that it covers a major part of your face. The second factor is comfort. Stick to cotton fabric masks even though you can prefer to use your matching fabric on the external portion. This brings us to the third part, thats number of layers. Never use a single layer mask. There is no purpose for it. Use a three ply, if u are not going into a crowded place. You can even go for 2 ply with filter pocket. When you are in a workplace, the recommended one is to use 3 ply with filter pocket. Woven cotton can be used as 2 layers and the other layer can be preferably cotton. For filter pocket you can use your kitchen tissue paper or normal tissue paper. 

The final factor is fashion. You cant just wear a red mask with a blue dress or an ikkat mask with a western wear. Stock some good collection of masks and make sure you wash and dry it in sunlight after each use. Many boutiques are offering free masks or custom designed masks at very nominal rates. You can WhatsApp Crystelle Designer Boutique at 7356033355 for placing online order of masks.

Here are some reference designs for handworked designer masks to keep with the trend

 When you have a plain blouse fabric without any zari borders or design, you will have to give some rich elements on the sleeve. We recommend sleeve work alone in such cases as the heavy sleeve will be Kore than enough for the bridal look.
