Clothes for the all-woman

You love shopping. But lately, you’ve been wondering why stores love to focus on stick-thin tweenies instead of real women with real curves. And, okay, a couple of inches to hide here and there.

After years of supplying garments to topline designer stores, Seema Bagla’s an ace at gauging a girl’s mood. She knows you seek sleek cuts, not unshapely cover-’em-ups, brights, not borings. That’s why she designs tops, kurtis and jackets that are picture-perfect for your persona — not what some anonymous retailer wants you to be.

For those quiet times, Seema offers off-whites in textured cottons and muls. Subtle block prints add colour to uncertain days. Tops embellished with crocheted lace and frills pep up the pleasure factor; vintage appliqué and delicate embroidery dazzle casual evenings. Pair them with leggings. Or even capris and skirts.

To abolish the horrors of mass-produced ill-fits, Seema also adjusts details like sleeve length and collar size. And to finish the look, she has designer footwear handcrafted in Jaipur.

Because you know now clothes don’t make the woman. Experience does.
