Fashion is an ocean of styles, but one accent that continues to be in trend is our traditional embroidery work. These days the applique work is very much in fashion and you can see them on salwar kameez, saris and dresses. This is one of the simplest forms of sewing. It is the process of applying one piece of fabric to another, including pre-embroidered patches, lace work, zari embellishment or simply a ribbon.

It is a style that used exaggerated detailing, which were then interpreted to conceive a magnificence in painting, sculpture and other art forms, where it was largely applied.
