Are these available ready-made

Cindhuja · Oct 15, 2009

In the following picture..Check the border pattern..Guess itz zardosi work..Can we get these work alone as ready-made stuff, like how we get jari borders for blouse and sarees! Or is it done by embroidery and zardosi work experts alone?? If so do any of you have a reference for to reach them?

Hope i am clear with my question

Dear Cindhu,
This is zardosi of course, but these patches, emaning only the embroidery is available I bought it in Hyderabad, don't know about Chennai. You can just stitch it on to your dress!!!

Exactly Janani..But not sure where exactly these stuffs are sold :roll:..If at all you come across please do update :cheers

I think you can check out in Sowcarpet, will find out and let you know!
Just the main pattern or piece you will get not the chota chota designs around!

That itself is a big relief Janani..Though not for salwars can at least make use of it in sarees right?

If at all you go there please en quire the details :bowdown

Cindhu, saw the design that its in the salwar (the Mango design at the end of the salwar) recently in a Crafts shop opposite to Adyar Telephone Exchange on the main road. Each design was for 15 Rs or something like that... Dind't check out about the border desgin.. I think we may get it there... There will be lot of bamboo baskets hanging outside this shop....I forgot the name of the shop... I will go home and check the cover and the bill and will let you know...
