Elevated Dress Pattern

"This is an easy way to elevate any basic kurta you might have. You can easily open the embroidery and lace for further design changes. Even though it is a time taking process it requires very basic hand stitching knowledge. On a side note most household helps know basic stitching so you can just pin the embroidery and lace in place and request them to help you out. Also, the total costing of the piece is very low (just about Rs.1200 including the kurta and half meter of embroidered fabric) but looks classy and would definitely retail for double.
I needed a kurta for a family dinner I was attending but wanted to use something from my existing wardrobe at the same time. After a bit of brain storming, and with my experience in the industry, I came up with quiet a few design changes I could make to a basic black kurta I had. One of the ideas was adding embroidery and lace detailing to the kurta. I bought a piece of embroidered fabric, some lace (which I naturally dyed to match the embroidery colour) and used buttons I already had in my craft supplies. This is an easy way to elevate any basic kurta/dress you might have."
