Naram Peach Pintuck Mandarin Kurta

Share this piece

Naram means soft, which is both the peach of this cambric kurta and the hand of the cloth itself. Shailendri hand embroidered it in Lucknow in crisp white thread, tepchi lines, phanda knots and keel points running between rows of pressed pintucks. A mandarin collar and button placket keep it sharp for work, knee length with side slits.
