Banita Dress

An exercise in monochromatic maximalism, this fully hand-embellished dress is defined by its dense, high-shine surface and close, sculpted + structured fit.

Rendered entirely in silver beadwork, Banita draws from the scrollwork of traditional zardozi embroidery found in vintage royal textiles. Intricate layering of sequins, katdana, and moti creates a richly dimensional surface, with floral motifs emerging through the embellishment like metallic botanicals.

The lower portion of the dress softens into beaded fringe, adding movement and lightness against the density of the embroidery. Finished with a discreet back zipper and hook-and-eye closure. 

Opulent and glamorous, Banita pulls from vintage eras, Indian floral sensibilities, and a heavy metal romance–rich in weight and presence. Designed alongside the Banita bag for the full look.
