^ I don’t see why not! But you’d have to choose the right material and go to a really skilled seamstress to get the ruching just right so its not lumpy. I’d think chiffon would do it with silk lining.
I’d also keep any kaam you choose tone on tone or just a shade of silver or dull gold. I’d not do a lot of beads and different kids of kaam either. The beauty in the ruching will get lost if there’s too much kaam happening on the outfit.
I’d do a bit of kaam on the edges of the daaman at front and back of the shirt, up the chaakein, around the neckline and the sleeves with really thin piping in either metallic silver or gold. Then I’d do the kaam all over the lehenga. And maybe pair it with a gorgeous lace-edged chiffon dupatta? Similar in look to a Spanish mantilla- http://pics.boards.weddingbee.com/846.veil.jpg These two are also gorgeous- Jewish "Bridezilla" Gal: Mantilla
In your lehenga portion, aim for a few layers of silk, like in the above picture- it gives it such depth and looks beautiful. The kaam would be on the top most chiffon layer, then maybe two more layers of chiffon under that and silk at the base.
Thanks! I love the pix you posted. I might just end up going with a mermaid style lengha, in cream or peach. I will keep the kaam silver
Thanks.
I dont think you will get much for it if you trade it lol. Your best bet would be putting it up on ebay, even than I think the most you will get for it is $200- $500, if your lucky.
