Give your cherished memories a second life! At Usha Designer Studio in Vijayawada, we specialise in the art of saree upcycling, transforming your precious heirloom sarees into modern, tailor-made masterpieces. This stunning purple long frock is a perfect example, crafted from a textured silk saree featuring delicate woven patterns. We’ve elevated the design with a flattering scalloped U-neckline, elegant scalloped elbow sleeves, and a dramatic Kalli Cut Gera for exceptional flow and silhouette.

Elegance in the Scalloped Edges

Our signature scalloping detail on both the U-neck and elbow sleeves provides a soft, feminine finish that instantly elevates the entire outfit.

Magic of the 
Kalli Cut

The Kalli (panel) cut construction adds volume and a flawless drape to the Gera (flare), giving the long frock a regal silhouette that moves beautifully.

The scalloped edges are more than a detail—they are a design statement, offering a softer, more ornate frame for the neckline and arms, perfectly complementing the silk texture.
