Mustard Yellow Mirror Work Blouse

• Color: The dominant color is a bold, sunny Mustard Yellow or deep Golden Yellow, a popular shade for Haldi and festive occasions.
• Fabric and Embellishment: The base fabric appears to be a textured material like a silk blend or cotton silk, providing a sturdy base for the heavy embellishment. The entire body of the blouse is decorated with small, circular real or faux mirrors strategically placed in a pattern. These mirrors are framed and secured with intricate thread work in the matching yellow color, creating a rich, sparkling texture.
• Neckline: The blouse features a flattering V-neckline in the front. The edges of the neck and armholes are finished neatly with matching yellow piping or braiding.
• Sleeves: It is a sleeveless design with broad shoulder straps.
• Closure and Tie-ups: This blouse is designed with two sets of dori (tie-ups), a common feature in traditional cholis for adjustable fitting and added style:
  • Upper Back Tie-up: A set of yellow cords ties at the upper back neckline, finished with decorative tassels (latkans) made of the same fabric.
  • Lower Back Tie-up: A second set of cords is visible at the lower hem, suggesting a crisscross design or a way to cinch the waist/back.
