Riva is a fitted kurti in 100% cotton, printed with a dense floral jaal of rosettes, leaves and small medallions in rust, cream and grey across a deep brown ground, packed close enough that the pattern covers the cloth with barely any plain field left. The neckline is a clean square, the sleeves run full length and finish plain at the wrist, and panelled seams through the bust and waist give the body its shape rather than darts. A concealed side zip gets you into it and the back is drawn together with a laced corset panel you tighten yourself. A jaal this busy hides creasing well, which makes it a practical choice for a long day out. Cotton this fine stays breathable despite the dark ground. Individually tailored by hand and finished ready to wear. There is no lining, so a deep brown like this reads slightly sheer in strong light.
