Pallu to Pleats

Heirloom Legacy!

Upcycled mustard‑yellow saree transformed into a textured crop top lehenga with subtle self‑pattern, V‑neck, elbow sleeves, 1‑inch pleat skirt and handcrafted heavy latkans by Usha Designer Studio, Vijayawada.​



“As a designer, the greatest joy is seeing a saree filled with memories walk again as a contemporary lehenga instead of lying forgotten in a cupboard,” says the founder of Usha Designer Studio, Vijayawada. “Every pleat, neckline and latkan is thoughtfully crafted so that our clients experience luxury, comfort and sustainability in a single tailor‑made outfit.”

1‑Inch Pleats for 
Flare and Structure

The skirt is drafted with crisp, uniform 1‑inch pleats that balance volume with a neat, slimming fall.

Instead of mass‑produced tassels, this lehenga uses layered fabric latkans made from saree remnants to minimise waste.
