BHAVANA'S LONG SLEEVES STEAL THE SHOW

Bhavana's Embroidery behind the Blouse

Mulberries Boutique built the blouse and its long sleeves entirely from paisley motifs in metallic thread, sequins and mirror work, without a bare patch of fabric.

A Colour Palette Built on Restraint

The outfit stays within one deep indigo family from blouse to skirt, letting embroidery and drape carry the visual interest instead of contrasting colour.

Draping that reworks a Simple Skirt

Below the black waistband, the satin skirt gathers into soft pleats at the front and opens into a side slit near the ankle, adding movement to a straight silhouette.

Where the Blouse Quietly Ends

The heavily embroidered blouse stops at a cropped length, its hem finished with a row of small beads that catches light differently from the dense paisley above.

A Neckline that Steps Back

A round, high-set neckline leaves the throat and collarbones bare of embellishment, a deliberate pause that keeps the embroidered paisley as the eye's main destination.

Styling that Plays with Proportion

Stylist Rashmi Muraleedharan pairs a fitted, embroidered blouse against sleeves that fall past the fingertips, setting structure against exaggerated volume.

Jewellery Kept Deliberately Sparse

Anni Jewellery's geometric drop earrings, a delicate ring and a small studded bindi are the only jewellery, while silver embellished heels echo its metallic tones.

The Beauty Look that Frames it All

Makeup artist Jeena keeps the base dewy with a defined wing liner and glossy nude-pink lip, while a low bun with loose curtain bangs softens the structured outfit.
