I wanted to design a gorgeous Salwar Kameez – a traditional Indian dress – with heavy embroidery work. I selected off-white for base, and did embroidery work with contrasting moss-green thread for the leaves and pink thread for the flowers. After drawing a rough draft, I started needle work and gave the Salwar (trouser) and the Kameez, (upper dress) a mat finish. I used unique stitch styles for the leaves and the flowers. I used my spare time, and completed stitching in about a month. Then it was time to design, cut and stitch the salwar and the kameez, which I did in one weekend. I was happy to see and wear the dress.
