The yoke showcases hand-appliqued Rabari designs and embroidery. The bodice is adorned with long tassels made from handmade braids with ghunghroo and various trims like pom-poms, fabric mirrors, shell hanging and crochet mirrors. Rabari embroidery decorates the sleeve hems, jacket hem, and collar. The yoke is lined with contrasting fabric.
