Kurta and Dupatta

Here is my embroidery work on a Kurta and a matching Dupatta.
The stitches done on kurta are -buttonhole stitch,stem stitch and satin or long and short stitch(I am not sure of the name)
For the dupatta I have used shadow work or the herringbone stitch on the back side.

Embroidered Kurta

I got this kurta stitched a few years back.It looked very dull as it didn't have any print.So I decided to make it a little attractive and this was the final look.

I put a border of sequins at the neck and made a half flower at the center.

Same way at the bottom also I used the sequins, silver colour zari thread and silk thread to make flowers.

A closer view of the embroidery.

After doing all these I saw that the body was still very plain so I sew some sequins,scattered on the body.


The silver zari border around the flower and the small branches have been made by aari work.The flowers are filled by making many bullion stitches.

Hankies

These are my hand embroidery work on the hankies.
The kind of embroidery used is mostly aari work;lazy daisy,stem stitch for the duck,herringbone stitch and french knot for the centre of the flower.
