This top, skirt and belt are Lake's Beauty cotton voile with brass bead zardoshi embroidery. The shrug is made of handwoven linen. The outfit features brass and mother of pearl beading based on illustrations by Brisbane artist Stephen Mok. Lake's Beauty is the finest cotton voile from Century Mills, one of the original large cotton mills in Mumbai, India. Zardoshi is an opulent form of Indian embroidery encompassing a variety of needlework and traditional techniques, mostly passed from father to son with secrecy.
