Available in S to XL. This design is not made to custom measurements, so please check the size chart beside the photos to choose your size. Each blouse has a margin of about 2 inches, so the size can be increased later if needed.
Style Tips
Black cotton works with almost everything. Pair it with handloom cotton, ikat, kalamkari and linen sarees for daywear, or with a plain bright saree in mustard, red or teal to let the embroidery stand out. Explore more hand embroidery blouses, black blouses and cotton blouses.
Care
The first clean must be a dry clean. It sets the colour so it stays fast and doesn't bleed onto the embroidery later. After that you can hand wash gently in cold water, dry in shade and iron inside out on low heat with a thin cloth over the embroidery.
FAQs
Is the cross stitch embroidery done by hand?
Yes, the floral cross stitch is hand embroidered, so small irregularities are natural and are a sign of handwork.
Is this blouse padded?
Yes, it is padded and lined, with a front closure.
Can I get this blouse in my size?
It is available in sizes S to XL. Custom sizes are not made in this design, but each blouse has about a 2 inch margin for alteration.
Which sarees go with a black cotton blouse?
It pairs well with handloom cotton, ikat, kalamkari and linen sarees, and with plain bright sarees in mustard, red or teal.
Fabric & care
Handcrafted details need a little extra care to stay beautiful.
- Dry clean first. Always dry clean the first time to protect the fabric, colour and embroidery.
- Hand wash gently, only if needed. After the first dry clean, wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not soak, scrub or wring.
- Dry in shade. Direct sunlight can fade the colour.
- Iron inside out on low heat, with a thin cotton cloth over embroidered or painted areas. Never iron directly on mirrors.
- Store in a muslin or cotton cover, not plastic, so the fabric can breathe.
Will my blouse look exactly like the photos?
Yes. Our photos are taken in natural daylight and match the piece closely. Slight colour differences can occur because of screen settings.
How do I choose the right size?
Check the size chart beside the product images. If you are between sizes, choose the larger one, as a blouse is easier to take in than to let out. Custom sizing is also available.
Can the blouse be customised?
Yes. We can make it to your measurements and design preferences. Price and delivery time may vary, as the piece is made specially for you. Customised pieces cannot be returned or exchanged, so please share your measurements carefully.
Is there margin for alterations?
Yes. Our blouses have around 2 inches of margin, so the size can be let out if needed.
How can I tell if a blouse is hand embroidered?
Look at the reverse side. Hand embroidery shows small knots and slight irregularities, while machine work looks uniform. Each product's details state whether the piece is hand-worked or machine-embroidered.
Why do handcrafted blouses cost more?
Each handcrafted piece takes days of skilled artisan work and is made individually, not mass-produced.
