Embroidered

Embroidered fabrics have decorative stitching added to a base cloth, which may be net, organza, georgette or tweed. The work can be sequin, thread, jaal or schiffli, and adds texture and value to a garment.

Embroidered cloth is commonly used for lehengas, gowns, blouses, dupattas, bridal wear and occasion dresses.

Check the base fabric, density of the embroidery and whether the work runs in borders or all over. Border work suits sarees and dupattas, while all-over work suits lehengas and gowns.

Embellished fabrics such as sequins and embroidery are best hand-washed inside out or dry-cleaned. Avoid direct ironing on the embellishment and use a pressing cloth.

Plan placement before you cut, especially for borders and motifs. Buy extra length to match the pattern across seams, and use sharp scissors. See our net and lace collection.
