Pattu Pavadai - 3

Hi Friends,
This is the latest pattu pavadi that I made for my daughter. I got it stitched from the tailor and did the Embroidey part of it.
The plain Skirt and Blouse.

The close up of the neck design. Here I have used Golden and Green metallic threads. And Used white stones for the Border so that it gives a grand look especially in the evening functions. Again I added the Muvvala kuttu to the border, to make it more rich.

This Paisley motif I traced it from the skirt, and then embroidered.

 I don't know whether we can call it as Gold work. though it is stitched with metallic threads.
I hope you enjoyed my posts. Thanks for visiting my Blog.
Cheers
Savitha.
