Styling

The look

Ivory A-line kurta with a V-neckline trimmed in black-and-white chevron, bell sleeves cuffed in multi-colour floral and kantha embroidery, worn over cream tulip pants. Finished with gold ankle-wrap heeled sandals, white tassel earrings, and a compact black structured bag.

Client checklist

Steam-press the bell sleeves from inside out — shape must hold before model dresses
Confirm undergarment (seamless bra, no lace/padded wings) is correct before the look goes on
Check ivory fabric in outdoor light for sheerness — if see-through, layer a nude slip beneath

Background & environment

A shaded garden colonnade or brick-walled verandah with climbing ivy — as seen in this image. The warm terracotta brick and green foliage create a rich colour complement to ivory without competing. Dappled natural light filtering through overhead trellis is ideal; avoid full direct sun which bleaches ivory to flat white.

Lighting

Replicate: Stand under a shaded verandah facing outward toward the sky — this is exactly the light in the reference image. Phone: tap the ivory fabric on screen to lock exposure; don't let the camera auto-expose on the bright background

Role takeaways

Model

This kurta rewards stillness — let the bell sleeves settle and fall naturally. Avoid arm movements that bunch the sleeve up. Face slightly away from camera, eyes on a far point.

Designer

The embroidery border at sleeve cuff and hem is the hero detail. Ensure sleeves are full and pressed — a collapsed bell defeats the entire design intention.

MUA

Ivory bounces light back at the face — skin must be prepped and set properly. Bold lip is non-negotiable here; the garment washes out an unmade face.

Stylist

The restraint is correct — one bag, one earring style, no necklace. Don't add. The embroidery on the garment is the accessory.

Spec Sheet

Description

An ivory embroidered bell-sleeve kurta paired with cream tulip pants — a Pakistani-influenced festive silhouette that flatters most body types and suits wheatish to deep skin tones best. The multi-coloured floral embroidery border at cuff and hem does the decorative work, so the styling stays deliberately restrained.

Core details

Influence: Anita Dongre — Indian artisanal — the restraint in colour and dependence on handcraft embroidery as the sole decorative element mirrors Dongre's philosophy
