How to style a kuchi dress for a henna night

A henna night is loud, joyful and full of family — your dress should keep up. A kuchi piece, with its coins and mirror-work, is made for exactly this kind of evening.

Let the mirror-work do the talking

Kuchi dresses are already rich with colour, mirrors and coin trim, so keep everything around them quiet. A simple slip underneath, hair pulled back, and let the embroidery catch the light as you move. The dress is the statement — you don't need to add to it.

Layer for the dancing

These nights run long and the dancing never really stops. Choose a piece that moves with you, and if you feel the cool of the evening, a chapan coat or a light shawl over the shoulders sits beautifully and is easy to slip off again.

Colour with the family in mind

Henna is a family affair, so think about the room. Jewel tones — emerald, teal, deep crimson — photograph richly under warm light and sit well beside everyone else's colour. Message us if you'd like help choosing a shade that complements the bride.
