Inspiration and drive to create something new
At Doethereal, the real women that we meet everyday inspire us. They are self-assured, self-reflecting, pushing themselves and those around them to evolve and grow in every sphere of their lives. They are experimenting with different looks, discovering their personas. Through our collections, we like to celebrate their diverse personalities and stories. Inspired by the women of the world, who explore various cultures and places; we offer our clients western, Indian couture. Our western wear line specializes in European cuts, luxurious fabrics and made-to-measure tailoring. Our Indian occasion wear line focuses on rich decadent fabrics, newer silhouettes and modern embroideries created through traditional techniques of zardozi, dabka, resham, beads, sequins, cutdana, gota, tilla, French knots and many others. When it comes to couture, we offer complete bespoke services for bridal, bridal trousseau and wedding ensembles. The wedding day is a momentous occasion filled with beautiful moments that turn into fond memories. Therefore, we work in close consultations with our brides and bridal parties to discover their aesthetic and personalities. Through our sessions, we work on the themes, cuts, colors, styles and kind of embroideries that she is attracted to, ensuring that the bride’s unique vision is fulfilled beyond expectations. Each ensemble is thoughtfully conceptualized for just that bride. No other bride will be wearing the exact same outfit.
Bride’s checklist
Doethereal, because we love crafting your unique dream wedding ensemble! On a serious note though, for the wedding events, wear something that makes you feel effortlessly ‘You’. In terms of bride essentials, we would recommend a well-balanced mix of some:
– Traditional pieces like a Benarasi lehenga or a sharrara suit, for family dinners and events
– Modern Indian pieces like a peplum set or flowing drapes with an embroidered cape/blazer, for the parties your friends throw you!
– Western outfits like cocktail dresses or coordinated sets, for your girl’s night out or date night.
Trends
Change is already in the air. We love the vibe of experimentation and self-discovery through fashion we see at Doethereal and in general, at the moment. We would like to see more tailored coat sets and blazers in Western wear and a lot of personality and individuality in Indian bridal and occasion wear.

One collection that is special to ‘Doethereal’
This Fall/Winter 2019 Collection is really interesting for us because it is rooted in the idea of freedom. The delicately detailed embroideries on flowing relaxed silhouettes in rich materials, allow the wearer to breathe and be a part of the festivities fully, while feeling luxurious and almost self-indulgent!
