Shedow Tarkashi Shirt

1. Shadow Work Embroidery:

• Shadow work, also known as chikankari, is a fine embroidery technique where stitches are done on the backside of the fabric, creating a subtle, shadow-like effect on the front.

• It often involves delicate floral or paisley patterns that enhance the sheer beauty of chiffon.

2. Chiffon Fabric:

• Chiffon is a lightweight, sheer fabric with a soft drape, making it ideal for formal and semi-formal wear.

• The fabric’s transparency allows shadow work embroidery to stand out beautifully.

3. Tarkashi Detailing:

• Tarkashi is a form of drawn thread work, where threads are carefully pulled out from the fabric to create intricate geometric patterns or ladder-like designs.

• It adds a touch of elegance and enhances the overall handcrafted appeal of the shirt.

4. Traditional Appeal:

• The combination of shadow work and tarkashi gives the outfit a rich, sophisticated, and timeless look, perfect for festive occasions, Eid, weddings, or formal gatherings.

• The shirt can be paired with silk trousers or a matching embroidered dupatta for a complete ethnic ensemble.
