Jewel Gradients

An ivory chiffon shirt embroidered in silver and gold, worked closely enough through the front that the ground reads as shot with metal rather than as plain cloth. A straight chiffon trouser sits beneath it.

The dupatta does the work of a second colour: a deep plum mehsori, embroidered and finished with an appliquéd border on all four sides, so the drape frames the outfit wherever it falls. Cool and dark against warm and pale — a party or a formal evening rather than a daytime function.
