Ethnic wear should be comfortable as well as good-looking, and this piece is both. The finish is clean and the construction is straightforward, which is what makes it easy to wear.

It moves between everyday wear and occasions without needing much thought. Hand-finished detail differs a little from piece to piece; that is the nature of the work rather than a defect.

Care is the usual: dry-clean anything with zari or dense embroidery, hand-wash cottons and rayons in cold water, and dry in shade rather than direct sun.
