Blush Couture By Almas: A Review.

If you are on Facebook and you hear the name Blush Couture you instantly think of the sweet, sincere person behind it all. As well as the stunning and versatile pieces of Asian style tunics and dresses, it is the sweet and sincere personality of founder Alman Maan that will catch your eye first.

I was very fortunate to be sent a gorgeous one off piece of a kurti dress in a stunning two toned colour to try out and review. Almas contacted and updated me every step of the way from dispatch and delivery times to right up to when I received the piece so it is clear that communication and customer service is definitely at the top of her list. Blush Couture is essentially an on-line business mainly operating from its Facebook page which can be found here. Also available are dresses, maxi gowns, Abayas and one off designer pieces. There is also an official website too where people can view images of the single pieces on offer so that they can get an idea of just how timeless and effortless the pieces are. Be warned however, these pieces come as a single piece and are just a one off, once sold, they are not restocked, so whatever catches your eye will need to be snapped up quick! 

*Before, I hop right into the review, lets look into the definition of a kurta/kurti? Essentially a kurta which is an Urdu, Punjabi, Begali and Gujarati word is a traditional item of clothing worn by men originating from the Indian Subcontinent. It is typically a loose fitting shirt that falls below the knees. When a woman wears a Kurta it is called a 'Kurti', which can sometimes be much shorter than kurtas worn by men and can fall mid thigh. Did you know however that the word 'kurta' actually originates from Persia and literally means a 'collarless shirt?'

The Kurti form Blush Couture came beautifully wrapped and packaged in a hot pink tissue paper complete with a label and ribbon, it looked stunning and would certainly make a great gift to someone for almost any occasion be it birthdays and weddings. It looks even more stunning in real life and the colour, embellishment on it and the fabric appears to be of a high quality. It feels comfortable to wear yet stylish at the same time. The beauty of it is that even when it will be pulled out of the wardrobe a few months later, it will still feel like a timeless classic as if you are wearing it for the very first time. 

As for the specifics, inner petticoat lining is included  which is really handy and they all come in one size. Chest measurements range from 32-40 inches and are up to 42-44 inches in length for both the kaftans and kurtis. The pieces do come in a lovely low cut style yet sleeves and waistline fits can be altered by a good tailor as per your preference and fit, bearing in mind that an alteration service is not available with Blush Couture.

Almas's overall mission when questioned is to "focus on sourcing the best and most versatile prints in women's Asian fashion wear for Kurti dresses and kaftan style Kurtis -tunic wear which always keeps in mind the UK's unpredictable seasonal climate along with the essence of fusing eastern and western styles together"

This choice of style and fashion has quickly become a designer favourite with more and more ladies opting to fit in kurtis and kaftaans in their everyday lives. For me, this particular piece represents designer style and fashion as well as comfort which I believe is the perfect combination when it comes to clothing. The biggest advantage of this is that it is perfect for all shapes and sizes, from the slim girls, to the plus sizes and is equally perfect for the younger girls all the way to the mature older women and even for pregnant nursing mums since it is so comfortable to wear. Whatever the preference, there is a piece out there for everyone.

I chose to pair my kurti up with a pair of black leggings but again the beauty of it is that the choice is endless. It can be worn with jeans if you are going for the casual look as well as pajamas, salwars, churidars or dhotis if you are opting for the more formal look. The option of footwear when wearing this is again endless from heels to flats, the choice is yours. Again, as the piece is so versatile it can be worn anywhere, taking you from the day time looks at events, barbecues and gatherings, to evening events, weddings, parties and even on holidays straight off the beach for that glam holiday look. 

Prices start from as little as £45 ranging up to £65 for the pure flowly gorgettes which is a bargain compared to if you were to purchase something like this from an established Asian High Street designer or boutique where the prices are likely to be double depending on the amount of embellishment, work and the print.The price range is very affordable yet still guarantees uniqueness and individuality.

I am definitely looking forward to wearing this piece for a hot summer wedding where I desire both style and comfort and the pretty colour is just perfect for it. I definitely think the pieces currently offered are amazing and I would highly recommend them without any doubt.
