Midnight Jewel

Set against midnight black, colorful insets evoke a medley of jewels. Sequins, applied by hand, adorn this elegant blouse by Ritu Agnihotri. The flattering tunic fastens with hidden hooks and eyes, and the designer includes extra sequins. As is typical of genuine handloomed fabric, there are tiny slubs throughout. This occurs when a thread runs out, and the weaver extends it by twisting a new thread together with the old.
