Metallic Dual

Dress with Wrap On

The inspiration for this dress comes from the precious noble metals, Gold and Silver. The dress itself is designed in gold, while the detachable wrap-on is designed in silver. In Indian mythology, gold represents success, achievement, and triumph, while silver is associated with sleekness, high-tech, and modernity. This design embodies both aspects, making it a symbol of both tradition and contemporary style.

What sets the Metallic Dual dress apart is its ability to serve dual purposes. It is an amalgamation of resort and party attire, making it suitable for various occasions. Whether it's a casual outing, a day at the beach, or a formal function, this dress is highly attractive for women who multitask. The removable wrap-on not only adds to the overall look but also offers flexibility in styling. With this dress, one is sure to stand out at any party, vacation, or outing.

The Metallic Dual dress is made using a single draft that was manually cut and hand-stitched. The fabric used is a stretchable imported metallic fabric, ensuring a comfortable fit. The entire dress is completed within a week's time, showcasing the designer's dedication and attention to detail.

This dress is designed to fit women with dress sizes ranging from small to medium, although it may also fit some women with dress size large. Its open fit design ensures versatility and comfort for various body types.
