Just got my sister’s outfit from him today.
I was very specific about how this one should turn out - the fabric, the colours and the type of kaam. However, I did not ask to see anything along the way; neither colour swatches, fabric nor kaam samples, so I think he did a great job. Love the banarsi he chose for the kameez. I intend to take a better photos in the daylight tomorrow.
[Please feel free to download the photos and check properties to see that I really did take them today!]
