Four to five weeks is not a delay — it is the making. Nothing here exists before you order it, so here is exactly where your piece goes between the day you choose it and the day it arrives.
The day you order, your piece stops being a photograph. The pattern comes off the wall — drawn on paper, marked in the cutter’s own hand — and the cloth for your size is laid out and cut. Nothing was waiting in a warehouse; it starts here because you asked for it.
The cut panels are stitched into shape and the pieces that will carry embroidery are stretched drum-tight across a wooden frame — the adda. The motif is pricked through paper and dusted onto the cloth in chalk. The frame will hold your garment for most of its making.
This is where the weeks go. Karigars work the drawn lines by hand — gota folded into flowers, pearls run along an edge, resham shaded petal by petal. A heavily worked piece holds thousands of individual decisions, each one made by a person who has done this for decades.
The embroidered panels come off the adda and are finished into a garment — seams, linings, closures, hems. If you sent your own measurements, this is where the piece is cut to your body rather than to a size chart.
Every piece is checked in the studio, pressed, folded with the worked face inward, and labelled — रशिका मित्तल, made in Jaipur. It ships insured and tracked, and the last leg is the shortest part of its journey.
Need it sooner than five weeks? Express making is sometimes possible, depending on what is already on the frames — ask before you order.
