The almond blossom is worked by hand in pale lilac, outlined in beadwork, and placed rather than repeated: one over the left shoulder, a group across the front of the tunic, one more at the side. The skirt is left plain so the blossoms have somewhere to sit against. The hand work is the slowest part of the making by a long way.
The cloth
Tussar has a slub in it that catches light unevenly, which is why the blossoms are worked in a flat silk thread rather than a lustrous one. The satin is the lining and the waistband facing, not the face cloth.
What arrives
The tunic and the skirt, both cut to the measurements taken at your fitting. Nothing is sold separately. If you want a dupatta with it, ask at the fitting and the atelier will quote for the cloth.
