The Plain Blue Stitches and the Jazzy Sequins & Beads
Add Beauty to the Dress
|
I have juggled between various crafts but my passion for embroidery has never diminished as this was something I learnt from my MOM and my Granny. I had done quite a few Kameez and wall art and now my daughter wanted something embroidered by me. I am previleged to work on her frock which she can wear to school/ parties. I took this as a oppurtunity to look out for clean, simple, gometric design suitable for her age. I also thoguth why not design and sew the dress myself. I choose A- line frock which can be independently work as a frock or can be paired with jeans or tights to give as modern look.
I worked on a pinkinsh orange pure silk material which has a soft feel and the silk has a sheen on it own and will make her stand out. The motif I choose was a Oval and it is from the magazine "Needle N Thread" which my Mom subscribes.

| Blue in Orange Contrasta & Compliments Each Other |
The Embroidery is worked in blue embroidery floss which contrasts and compliments the hue of the frock/ kameez. The stitches I have used are simple and basic, as chain and french knots, yet elegant. These are justaposed with the bluish multicolur sequins, tube beads and seed beads.
This design could be worked as a stand alone or as multiples and will look elegant in T-Shirts, Kameez and is quite simple that one can finish in a day.
The Dress Pattern is a simple A-Line frock lined inside. This dress was basically cut by me but my Mom who sews faster than me sewed it for my daughter.
My Daughter loved the dress and she looked ravishing when she had coupled this dress with a black T- Shirt and Tights for a dance she performed in the Harrisburg Area Tamil Sangam Pongal Festival of 2013.
