Baani is a long corset kurti cut from rayon slub, a fabric with a fine irregular texture running through the weave that keeps solid black from ever looking flat. A square neckline sits clean across the collarbone, the bodice is structured and fitted through bust and waist in the manner of a corset, and full-length sleeves run to the wrist. The back is where it turns: it drops deep and open, with a side zip carrying the closure so nothing interrupts the line. From the front it reads as a composed, covered-up long kurti; from behind it is something else entirely. Rayon slub falls with more weight than cotton, so the silhouette holds its shape through the day rather than creasing into it. Individually tailored by hand and finished ready to wear, Baani is built for the occasions where you want one piece to do all of the work.
