Engagement

Engagement and betrothal work sits between a festival blouse and a bridal one, and it is very often the first piece a bride orders.

Which makes it the useful one

It is where you find out how the work looks on you rather than on somebody else in a photograph, how the colour behaves under the light your family photographs in, and whether a design you liked flat suits the shape you actually wear. Everything learned here feeds the muhurtham blouse, which is the piece that matters most and the one you least want to guess at.

Medium weight

Neckline and sleeve work, sometimes a small back motif, in thread and light stone. Enough to be clearly hand work, not so much that it competes with the wedding blouse it comes before.

Order it with the rest

If the wedding date is already fixed, order the engagement piece and the bridal one in the same conversation. It reserves frame time for both, it lets the two designs be planned so they are related without repeating, and it means the measurements are already known when the bridal blouse starts.

Send a photograph of the material and the date. You will get the cost and the timeline the same day.
