Kavitha has been one of our loyal customers and we take pride in continuing our efforts to ensure that she is happy with the designs. We look for the most innovative ways to develop interesting and delicate designs for her. In the picture you see below, we have developed an intricate design with the following types of embroidery:

Flat stitch embroidery—Decorative designs, and conventional flowers, are the most suitable for flat stitch embroidery; a faithful representation of natural flowers should not be attempted, unless it be so well executed, as to produce the effect of a painting and thus possess real artistic merit.

Encroaching flat stitch—Small delicate flowers, leaves, and arabesques, should in preference, be worked either in straight flat stitch or in encroaching flat stitch. The stitches should all be of equal length, the length to be determined by the quality of the thread; a fine thread necessitating short, and a coarse one, long stitches. The stitches should run, one into the other, as shown in the illustration. They are worked in rows, those of the second row encroaching on those of the first, and fitting into one another.

Oriental stitch—The three following stitches, which we have grouped under one heading, are known also, under the name of Renaissance or Arabic stitches. We have used the term Oriental, because they are to be met with in almost all Oriental needlework and probably derive their origin from Asia, whose inhabitants have, at all times, been renowned for the beauty of their embroideries.

The result as you see is a part bold and part delicate dress that both we and Kavitha are proud of.
