How To Stitch Churidhar - patiala salwar?

Re: Need suggestion for Salwar material

hi, why dont you try silk crepe material for salwar, it will give a nice fall and will also look elegant, even the new shimmer material is good and can be dyed to suit the colour.
as suggested by the other poster.....organdy material is good but then you should hve a good tailor or tailoring skills to stitch it as if not done properly, it will start ripping, and it will require lining in it.

 

Re: Need suggestion for Salwar material

Thank u Paru and Kainaath :bowdown...will definitely try out the materials suggested...

Re: Anyone heard of USHA sewing/stitching book?

Hi, are you referring to a book in Telugu or was it in English ... if you are at Hyderabad then please visit book
stalls cum exhibitions (eg. Vishalandhra, Navayuga, Rajyalaxmi ...) so that you can check contents of books

 

Re: Anyone heard of USHA sewing/stitching book?

Re: Need help to sticth a salwar kameez

Hello Bhagkiya, yes its very much difficult to stitch a salwar kameez on your own. There's so much things to do. But I have just found an article How to Stitch a Salwar Kameez, it might help you.

 

Re: How to stitch kameez properly?.......A Discussion....

Hi folks, I have been very curious about the nuances of making a perfect pattern for blouse and salwar kameez and perfecting this art so that I could make the garment to suit my taste. No tailor till now has been able to stitch even remotely what I want, hence the need to learn every aspect of tailoring these three garments. I am very glad to have found like minded people who, like me, are discussing this topic on this forum. Hope to share with you my experiences gradually and look forward to interacting with the likes of you and me. Thanks!
