Bel Lemon Yellow Mulmul Sleeveless Top
Tepchi lays each stem as a single running line, and Rubina Khatoon hand embroidered every leaf and petal in Lucknow, working that same line back and forth in close passes until the shape fills. The white creeper runs across the front of this lemon yellow mulmul top, 100% cotton woven to 70–75 GSM. Bel is that creeper.

The stitches
- Tepchi (running)The swift running stitch laid along the printed motif, the ground on which every other stitch is built.
How to wear it
- Hip length with a short vent at each side seam, so the top clears a straight trouser or a churidar without needing a tuck.
- The creeper fills the front while the back carries scattered single flowers, so the top reads worked from the front and quiet from behind.
- One button closes a keyhole at the nape and the front panel is unbroken, so there is no opening at the neckline to gape at a desk.
