Description
Women’s Vest with Kashmir hand embroidery is
exceptional, elegant, and extraordinary. It is perfect
for woman of elegance and mystery. Embroidered woolen
jackets, with an eye catching appeal, are made by the
same artisans who are known world over for creating some
of the finest shawls. Techniques employed here for
making embroidery are the same that are used in making
embroidery on Kashmiri shawls. The embroidery of Kashmir
is very delicate and mainly has floral patterns. Nature
has been very kind and bountiful here. The valleys are
full of colorful flowers, chinar trees (maple), and
badam (almond) trees. In Kashmir embroidery the motifs
are of paisley or almond shape, chinar leaf, delicate
flowers and leaf. 'Sozuni' embroidery style associated
with shawls and jackets is extremely delicate and is
usually done with one strand of thread. The stitches
that are employed are mainly Stem, Cretan, Fly and
Darning. The fineness and minute details of the
embroidery style are simply awe inspiring. With a piece
like this in your closet, you will always have something
to wear.
Our Customers' Views
* Prompt service,
quality goods.
* Simply beautiful and fast shipping. Thank you
* The bed cover is beautiful - the photo hardly does it justice! I
was surprised at how quickly it arrived. Thanks for the great
service!
* I mark Shalin down, only because their sizing description was so
poor. I bought the petites, expecting/hoping for something in the 0-2
range, but their petite is actually much closer to a 6 or 8. That
said, the fabric is beautiful, and the color of the fabric even more
beautiful. Lovely embroidery and ruffles. Worth buying, but know that
they run really large, at least in petites.
Salwar kameez and dupatta
The salwar kameez is another form of popular dress for
females. It consists of loose trousers (the salwar)
topped by a long loose shirt (the kameez). It originates
from the state of Punjab in India, but now has become
popular all across India, and other South Asian
countries. It is commonly worn with a narrow scarf
called a dupatta, which can be used to cover the head,
or just draped over the shoulders. The salwar kameez is
most common in the northwestern part of India.
Lehenga, choli, and odhani
The women of Rajasthan and Gujarat often wear colorful
swirling skirts called lehenga, paired with a short
bodice called a choli. If they must cover their heads,
they do so with bright veils called odhani.
Sari
A sari / saree is the traditional female garment in
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. A sari
is a very long strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from
four to nine metres in length, which can be draped in
various styles. The most common style is for the sari to
be wrapped around the waist, with one end then draped
over the shoulder baring the midriff. The sari is
usually worn over a petticoat (pavada/pavadai in the
south, and shaya in eastern India), with a blouse known
as a choli or ravika forming the upper garment. The
choli has short sleeves and a low neck and is usually
cropped, and as such is particularly well-suited for
wear in the sultry South Asian summers. Cholis may be
"backless" or of a halter neck style. These are usually
more dressy with a lot of embellishments such as mirrors
or embroidery and may be worn on special occasions.Women
in the armed forces, when wearing a sari uniform, don a
half-sleeve shirt tucked in at the waist.
Men's clothing
The most common male attire consists of the dhoti and
kurta, worn in most of the western and central regions.
A sherwani is typically worn for special occasions. Men
of northern India and the Punjab may also wear salwar
kameez, often in plain white cotton, and top the kameez
with a dark waistcoat. The lungi (a type of wrap-around)
is worn in many parts of India, but depending on the
social practices of the region it may be restricted to
indoor-wear.
