B&W Vines


This one was a pleasure to make. The tiny flowers add charms to this design that fills almost the whole upper part of the baju. So far this is the biggest design on the neck that I have done. I am very satisfied with this one :) The end result is very grand and sweet at the same time.

Golden Blue




This is a simple crumble design along the neck. I embellished this design with bits of freshwater pearls in Gold & Bronze. I added a 'pendant' like design on the end of the neckline. So this design kinda look like a beautiful necklace.


Enjoy looking at the photos ;)

Midnight Blue



The rich blue colour of this kebaya screams 'Royalty' to me ;). I added highlights to the kerawang of the kebaya in the colour of rich, white gold. I also embellished this kebaya with bits of aquamarine. These colours were inspired by a beautiful ring (photo below).

The Looks #1: Silver Star


Baju Kurung is an elegant and sweet dress worn by Malaysian women not only when attending formal and ceremonial occasions, but also for the office and everyday wear.

Besides the Baju Kurung's elegance and simple beauty, it's loose fitting design makes it very comfortable to wear in the hot humid weather in Malaysia.

I am planning to start putting together looks for the garments that I hand embroidered with beads. I am starting the first one with this Silver Star Look. I absolutely love silver accessories because I think it glams up any attire.

1. Oversize Filigree Chandelier Earring

4. Badgley Mischka Dylan - Ankle strap shoes
