Chiffon tunic

A tunic which can be worn on almost anything; a pencil skirt, a short skirt, or a pair of jeans or formal trousers. A wahs and wear material like chiffon adds a bit of glamour to wearability. Used same blue tericosa for lining. Gathered around the neck and short sleeves without lining, the tunic flares out at the hem. Used 2m legth (and 44") across chiffon material and 2 m. of lining material.

Raw silk yellow sleeveless kurti

I love this kurti. It is minimalist yet suitable for a formal occasion. There is an interesting incident to how this kurti came to be. The magenta pink neck detail shown in the photos, was part of an elaborate anarkali dress material; the semi stitched variety. There were too many elements on that dress. So, we removed this feature (as it was superfluous) for a future project. When my friend / customer went shopping for dress materials for kurtis, she picked up this bright yellow raw silk (not pure silk) and wanted the pink detail on it.  
The neck depth in front and the slit were determined by the feature.

Materials:
Raw silk - 1.5 m
Neck detail / yoke - from a previous dress

Front neck high with a slit in front
Back neck low
Sleeveless

If you happen to have any embroidered pieces or attractive prints, do not throw them out. they can be added on to other dresses.
