Nilofer – Hand-Embroidered

Description

Design & Silhouette Details

• Silhouette: A floor-length, structured front-open gown or jacket paired with a sleek, solid inner shirt and straight-leg trousers. The long, continuous vertical lines give the outfit an incredibly statuesque and elegant posture.

• Color Palette: The base is a deep, luxurious teal / peacock blue. The embroidery features a rich contrast of antique gold, champagne tilla, and subtle touches of rust/crimson thread work that adds a classic vintage depth.

• Embellishment & Craftsmanship:

  • The Borders: The center-front opening and the hemline feature thick, intricate borders packed with detailed zardozi, dabka, and marori work.

  • The Bootis & Panels: Beautifully spaced, ascending floral vines and traditional paisley motifs creep upwards from the hem and scatter across the bodice.

  • Sleeves: Sheer or semi-sheer net/organza extensions on the sleeves add a delicate texture contrast to the heavier fabric of the gown.
