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

Simple full sleeve blouse works below ₹ 5000




 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.

Have a look at these blouse back Designs ..

Yuti Designer House has some wonderful designs and here we have compiled some of their outstanding designs on blouse back. There are many designs that they have posted on their page, we have just picked some of the blouse back designs we thought to be different. 

When you are done with selecting the saree for the wedding day, the next question is the blouse design. The back of the blouse is one area where you can try some different elements of design. The front portion is covered by the saree and only the right side of the blouse will have some simple work to corelate to the back neck embroidery work. 

Patterned back designs are in trend. So why fall out of the trend?

The embroidery work used here is a common one with scatter pattern, beads  and crystals etc. One of the the design element that we want to focus on is the shape of the back opening. Instead of the usual circle and oval, a different temple style opening is given. Handworked alphabet latkan of the bride and the groom is a good one instead of adding the full names. 

The sleeve design is the usual style and the back neckline is embroidered in florals and cut worked. The matching bulky latkan is a good element. The main attraction is the hangings on the back of the blouse. Two normal chains and a pearl chain is given here. 

This is heavy handwork. Yuti design house is known for their intricate detailing works. The elephant on the back of the blouse in a varied design opening is simply a class apart. The hanging has elephant and bird alternating. Probably the saree has both these designs on the highlight. 

This is not a much complicated design ,but the uneven cut back opening is worth mentioning. The neckline has been intricately outlined and heavy work adorns the sleeves. 

The heavy beads used on the back of the blouse is the design element we wish to bring to the viewers. These are rather in trend. Similar hangings on the sleeve can compliment the look. 

One of my favorites, where a totally new look has been created with a central piece and chains that hold this piece. The piece is a heavily curated one with exact precision. The add on the beauty factor of the blouse is the usage of multicolor work in the centre of the flowers giving a life to the beige colored blouse.
