This petite straight-cut ladies’ top in black chanderi silk has a distinguishing neckline composed of three strips of applique of a floral creeper in gold colour. In addition, three handmade show buttons draw attention. The three-fourths-in-length sleeves have the same applique on the cuffs. The top that goes down to the calf is smartly matched with plain golden trousers of glazed cotton. The dupatta for this suit is also in black chanderi having java work on the edges and applique work in gold colour on the two sides. The graceful simplicity of this outfit is its lucky charm.

The Indian Couture strives to meet the special needs of different segments of its clientele, as is amply displayed by this black outfit. Though simple in design, it stands out when the ambience is kept low-key.
