How it works

From your first visit to the final fitting

Three steps, with the atelier beside you from your first visit to the final fitting.

Visit our Fifth Avenue atelier

During your visit to our showroom, we'll discuss the occasion you're dressing for, and our expert design team will walk you through customization options, including neckline, hemline, sleeves, and color, tailoring every detail to your unique vision.

The design process

Once the design is refined, our team creates a bespoke sketch of your dream dress. After your approval, a muslin sample, a preliminary version of your gown, is crafted for your first fitting, where we ensure the fit is flawless and make any necessary adjustments.

The final garment

Once perfected, your final dress is brought to life using the finest materials and expert craftsmanship. At the final fitting, we make any last tweaks to ensure your dress is everything you imagined.

Private and unhurried. Out-of-town clients are welcome, and many fly in to the Fifth Avenue showroom from across the East Coast.

The embroidery

Hand embroidery

Embroidery anchors the story of Danarys, with motifs drawn from magic and nature. Cherry blossoms, for instance, symbolize not only beauty but hidden strength, while the lotus, India's national flower, emerges from mud to bloom with extraordinary grace. These motifs move beyond ornamentation; they weave a narrative, imbuing each collection with meaning.

The craft

Old-world craftsmanship

Our vocabulary is one of old-world craftsmanship, decisive tailoring, and fabrics of uncommon depth and richness, elements that have captured the attention of editors, stylists, and women who appreciate modern couture.

Meet the founder

Natasha Das

Each collection starts with a story. I build the world first, then the wardrobe.

Natasha left a career in finance on Wall Street to build an atelier on Fifth Avenue. Indian-born and East Coast raised, she designs from the meeting of two worlds: the ornate richness of Indian heritage and the polish of New England restraint. Each collection is made in small batches, and made to order for the woman who wears it.
