Step 1: The Sketching Stage — Turning Your Vision into Art
Whether you walk in with a Pinterest board, a magazine tear-out, or a pencil sketch on your phone, we begin by understanding your idea.
What happens during sketching:
- Understanding your dream silhouette
- Shortlisting color palettes
- Studying your body proportions
- Discussing embroidery style (zari, resham, pearl, etc.)
- Creating a detailed hand sketch or digital illustration
This step is where your lehenga’s personality is born.

- Net with pearl work for soft elegance
