Nomi Ansari Mehndi Dress (Inspired Version) Video

Tissue silk lehenga choli with an embellished belt

A square neckline in front and a deep square back frame the choli, which has full sleeves and a concealed zip with hook-and-eye. The belt draws a clear horizontal break at the waist. Below it, the 14-kali lehenga swings out into a full round, with an attached cancan beneath. Embroidery covers every part, but more yellow is visible on the upper skirt before it thickens into a wide lower border of arch-like panels and lattice, edged in red-pink. Cutdana, mukaish and gotta work are all present, and on the dupatta most of the work is kept to the edges. Panelled and silk lined, the outfit comes to around 5 kg.

Yellow under silver leaf

Deep and warm, closer to mustard than to lemon, the yellow of this Mehndi dress sits under its silver like a tray of sweets under varq. The leaf is thin and bright and torn in places, so the colour shows through.

Flecks of red and green are scattered through the silver like pistachio and rose petal on a sweet, and they gather at the middle and in the arches below. The belt divides the outfit in two, so the dense choli and the heavy hem read as separate weights with a band of yellow between them. Leaving that yellow open above the arches makes the drop into them look steeper.

On the dupatta the field stays loose, and its geometric edge is finished with the same red-pink line as the skirt. It ties the top of the outfit to the bottom.

Mehndi, Mayun and the dholki nights

Yellow is often the colour of the Mehndi, and with this much silver on it, the outfit can carry the bride’s own night. It suits a Mayun or a dholki as well, a reception, or a bridesmaid at any of them. Other yellow cuts are among the yellow Mehndi dresses. The Bridal Yellow Lehenga is the other yellow lehenga choli, at around 7 kg, with an organza top, a boat neck and a round back. In the photographs, the gold-toned bangles, jhumkas and collar choker are there for styling only. With the square neckline open, one short choker is enough; rose gold set with emeralds would pick up the green flecks.

You stay in control until it ships

Watch it being made

Ask us at any stage and we send photographs or video of your actual outfit — from the first sketch through the embroidery frame to the finished garment. Ask as often as you like on WhatsApp.

A complete video before it ships

Before the parcel is sealed we send you a full video of the finished outfit. If a detail needs adjusting, tell us then and we make the change where it is workable. Nothing leaves us until you have seen it.

Exactly what you see

The photographs and video on this page are of the outfit we make — the same fabrics, the same handwork, the same weight in the hand. A screen can only carry so much: it cannot show how the zardozi catches light as you turn, or how the ghera moves when you walk. That is why we send you a video of your own outfit before it ships, so you judge the real thing rather than a photograph.

Sizing & Measurements

Choose a standard size, or select Customised Size and we stitch to your own measurements at no extra cost.

Your size or measurement details are provided before checkout is completed, which is why production can begin the day after you order. If a measurement is unclear, send it to us on WhatsApp before you submit it and our team will confirm it with you.

Size guide and how to measure

Care

  1. Always put paper between the layers when you fold it away. Kora, dabka and nakshi are metallic wire, and the fabric underneath them is fine. Every time the outfit is opened or folded, a stitch on one layer can catch the layer pressed against it and tear through it. A sheet of tissue or plain paper between the layers keeps the wire work away from the cloth, and it costs nothing. Use plain paper rather than newspaper on pale or ivory fabrics, because newsprint ink can mark them.
  2. Store it folded, not hanging. A heavily worked outfit is heavy, and months on a hanger pull the weight onto the shoulder seams.
  3. Dry clean only. Hand and machine washing damages metallic embroidery. Tell your cleaner the outfit carries zardozi, dabka or similar metallic handwork so it is cleaned by hand rather than by machine.
  4. Keep it away from direct sunlight and damp. Perfume and hairspray go on before the outfit, not after.

Questions About This Outfit

Can the design be customised?

Yes. Most customers ask for the design to be made a little more modest — higher neckline, longer or fuller sleeves, more coverage at the back, a longer shirt. Tell us what you want changed on WhatsApp before you order so the pattern is cut correctly the first time. Colour, embroidery colour, sleeves, neckline and length are all adjustable on most designs.

Will the dress look exactly like the photographs?

It will be very close, and we do not compromise on the embroidery or the fabric. Two honest exceptions: the colour shade can look slightly different because of studio lighting and your screen, and because every customer's height and body type is different, a pattern may need to be adjusted so the design sits correctly on you — on a shorter frame, for example, part of the shirt pattern may have to be re-cut. Ask for the final video before dispatch and you will see the actual garment before it ships.

Can I return or exchange it after delivery?

No. Every outfit is cut and stitched for one customer, so it cannot be resold or swapped for another size. That is exactly why the review happens before dispatch: ask for progress photographs and video at any stage, and for the complete final video before your order ships. An order can still be cancelled before dispatch — the windows and deductions are set out in our return policy.

Is there any extra cost on top of the price shown?

No hidden charges. The price you see is the price of the outfit. The only additions are the ones you choose yourself: Rush or Super Rush delivery, and any paid add-ons such as jewellery. Each is priced clearly before you pay.

Can I get matching jewellery with this outfit?

Yes. Matching earrings, necklace and related pieces are available as paid add-ons on this product — select them before you add the outfit to your basket and they are made and shipped with the same order.

Can I get a matching hijab or an extra dupatta?

Yes. Both are possible. Message us on WhatsApp when you place your order and we will tell you exactly how to arrange it.

Is Rush or Super Rush delivery available for this outfit?

Yes, on bridal and groom wear. The Estimated Delivery Timeline box near the top of this page shows live dates for Free, Rush and Super Rush against today's date, so it is always accurate for your order.
