Parsi gara lace saree design
Parsi garas are sarees with very intricate embroidery. These are very expensive. The entire saree or borders are embroidered with floral designs. The floral designs are embroidered with satin stitch. One can understand the effort and time it takes to make a saree. But nowadays, these are designed using machine embroidery, but the hand embroidered ones are very elegant.
Recently, Parsi gara laces are also available in market. The embroidery on the lace are made by machine, still the laces catch eyes, because of the color combination and the embroidery. One such lace, I have used for designing a saree. The saree is soft satin in light green color and the lace is embroidered on black background.
Here it is :
The saree
It has come out well, though not hand embroidered.

The light green is going well with all the colors of the lace. For this saree, I am planning to make a saree edge( Kuttchu), using tatting. I will probably use a thread in green or a multicolored one. Which one will look good? Do share your thoughts. 🙂
Love, Laugh and Live the life to the fullest,
