The Star Night White Mirror Blouse is a handcrafted cotton silk saree blouse covered in hand-done Kutch mirror work. It is made for wedding functions, sangeet, festive pujas and reception sarees, and it lifts a plain silk, cotton or chiffon saree without any other styling.
Why a white mirror work blouse works
White with mirror work is the most flexible blouse in a saree wardrobe. It pairs with almost every saree colour, which is why one white mirror blouse usually replaces three matched ones. The mirrors catch light, so it photographs well in evening and indoor function lighting.
The handwork
The mirror work is Kutch work — a traditional hand embroidery technique where each mirror is held in place by hand-stitched thread framing. It is done by artisans, not machine-embroidered. On the reverse you will see natural thread knots and small irregularities in stitch spacing; that is how hand embroidery is identified.

How to style it

Care
Dry clean first. If washing later, wash gently and separately in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not soak or scrub the mirror work. Dry in shade, iron on low heat inside out with a soft cloth over the fabric, and store in a muslin or cotton cover.
Frequently asked questions
Is the mirror work on this blouse hand-done or machine-made?
It is hand-done Kutch work. Each mirror is fixed by hand-stitched thread framing by an artisan. Check the reverse side — hand embroidery shows natural knots and slight irregularities in stitch spacing that machine work does not.
What fabric is the Star Night White Mirror Blouse made of?
Cotton silk.
Is Kutch work the same as mirror work?
Yes. Kutch work is a hand embroidery technique built around mirror (abla) placement, so it is listed under both mirror work and hand embroidery.
Which sarees will a white mirror work blouse go with?
Almost all of them. White is the most versatile blouse colour — it works with silk, Kanjivaram, chiffon, georgette, cotton and printed sarees.
Is this blouse padded and lined?
Yes, it is padded and fully lined, so no separate camisole is needed.
Is it sleeveless?
Yes, this blouse is sleeveless with a broad U neck.
What is the neck depth?
Front 8.5 inches and back 11 inches.
Do you make this blouse in my size?

Is custom sizing charged extra?
Price and timeline for customisation are confirmed with you before we begin, since the piece is made individually for you.
Will the blouse look exactly like the photos?
Yes, closely. Photos are shot in natural daylight; small variation can come from your screen settings, and minor variation is natural in handcrafted work.
How should I wash a cotton silk mirror work blouse?
Dry clean first. After that, gentle cold hand wash separately with mild detergent, no soaking or scrubbing, dry in shade, iron inside out on low heat.
