This jacket is made up of pure raw silk, with delicate zari work. It can be worn with a gold raw silk skirt, that’ll give it volume and make the outfit look grand.

A maangtikka on a woman’s forehead is a stunning focal element that adds a sense of softness to the face.

The flowy jacket gets elegantly restrained with a pair of pencil pants. But in no way does it restrain your style quotient!
