The flowers on this set are the kind you notice gradually: resham thread buti, scattered across heavy viscose rayon in colour against ground, each built with a small stem and a bloom, the work quiet until the light finds it. Small mirrors sit at the neckline in hend embroidery, the shisha tradition of western Indian craft that catches light the way silver does. Viscose rayon keeps the cloth easy and breathable. At the pant hem, the same buti run in a border. A piece for the family gathering, the festival afternoon, the day that calls for something considered without effort.
