The Punam Gul Anarkali: A Bespoke Story from our Client Diaries
Some pieces start as a client's own idea. The Punam Gul Anarkali is one of them — a jade green Chanderi silk anarkali with a seven-metre kalidar flare, developed with our client Punam in the UK and named after her. It is the clearest example of what our personalised touch actually means in practice: not just made-to-measure, but made around one person's own vision for how she wanted to look.
Punam's reaction, in her own words, was simple.
"It was simply stunning."
Punam, United Kingdom
The finished anarkali arrives in a striking jade green, with an inner bustier lending structure to the flowing silhouette and coordinating dupion silk pants underneath. A sheer organza dupatta, hand-embroidered with muted gold florals and a gold-and-pearl border, finishes the look. It is designed for weddings, receptions, and festive celebrations, and it now carries Punam's name permanently on the product itself.
Our personalised touch
Punam's anarkali is what our MySize service looks like taken all the way — a free video call measurement and style consultation, where we don't just take measurements but talk through colour, silhouette, and detail until the piece is genuinely hers. Every outfit we make can be adjusted this way — neckline, sleeve, length, colour — but every so often, like with Punam, the conversation becomes a piece in its own right.

Can I design a fully personalised anarkali like Punam's?
Yes — through our style consultation and video call measurement service, you can adjust colour, silhouette, neckline, sleeve, and embroidery detail on any piece, exactly as we did for Punam's own anarkali.
What should I look for in an anarkali for a wedding guest?
A softer fabric such as georgette or Chanderi with a flattering flare, richer embroidery for evening functions, and a dupatta or embellishment that photographs well under wedding lighting.
Is an anarkali appropriate for every wedding function?
Most are, though embellishment level should match the function — lighter florals suit daytime mehendi or haldi, while heavier sequin and metallic work suits sangeet or reception evenings.
How does the personalised design process work?
Exactly as it did for Punam. You book a video call, we talk through your vision alongside your measurements, and the piece is crafted to both at the designer's atelier in India before shipping directly to your door.
