Teal

A three-piece in deep teal silk. The front is hand-embellished in metallic gold and silver with a matching border at the hem, and the sleeves carry the same work over a yard and a quarter.

The dupatta is organza rather than silk, embroidered over three yards with an elaborate border, and the dyed silk trouser has a three-yard organza border of its own. Teal with gold is the richest of the blues and reads well at both a mehndi and a reception.
