Cut Work

In this form of embroidery, portions of the background fabric removed to create interesting designs and motifs. This designer Tussar silk saree features elaborate Cut Work embroidery on the pleats and border detailing. Sakhi celebrates cut work by adding verve to this modest Tussar silk saree by infusing multi hued Tissue appliqué, to make every occasion special.
At first glance I kind of liked it. But then I looked at the fabric work, and all I could think of was laser-cut designs in plactic. I’m missing the personal touch of hand made textiles that look like beautiful Banares silk.
Not quite my cup of tea, but I admire the eclectic and contemporary feel. I do like the texture and cut in the blouse.
