Posh attire at Ravina's

There are Friday dos where your polka-dotted hairband and smock can get you oohs-and-aahs. There are Saturday night parties where your glitzy chiffon off-shoulder gets even the girls a-swooning. And there are Sunday brunches where your crisp linens and country laces go well with your g&t. But are there a few events where you’d like to be dressed, erm, a bit sophisticated and grown-up and posh-aunty-types?

Ta-dah! We have an answer to that too. Ravina’s. A tony li’l store that carries all things sophis. Especially li’l kurtis. In chiffons and silks. With fine Zardozi and Ari work, shimmery beads entwined with fine gold and silken threads. All skilfully created with a traditional eye for detail and design. There’s even an in-store tailor to ensure a perfect fit.

Super-short kurtis with wispy dupattas to match and short kurtis with beads and heavy necklines perfect for shoulder-dusters. And romantic lehengas teamable with a choli — or a casual ganji.

Ravina’s also has tiny clutch bags and even a range of causal day-wear chikankari or kantha tops.

Cause, girl, you’ll be a woman soon.
