This week at Oriental Costumes, we’re
displaying different types of Karahi and how it can be paired with different
materials.
There are many different types of karahi in
South Asian culture, from simple thread work to zari work to salma work to
beadwork to mirror work. Each type and form has its own beauty and each one
adds a unique touch to an outfit.
People and designers experiment with
different karahi everyday. They mix thread work with beads, crystals, zari,
salma, gota, mirror, and many other works to create something stunning and
unique. Each outfit is a piece of art and; therefore, should be adorned.
Mixing different karahi looks gorgeous but
mixing different materials with karahi also adds an extra punch and
distinctness to an outfit.
Here are some of our models displaying different
materials with several different karahian.
The artist of this black dress has taken silver
and pink thread to do a karahi in a patchwork form. Instead of putting the
karahi patches on the front, the sleeves are given definition making them more
prominent and the centre of attention in the outfit. However, at the same time
the artist has made the four studded rhinestone flowers equally prominent and
centre of the attention. This combination of the patchwork karahi and
rhinestone flowers brings uniqueness to an outfit instead of clashing with each
other.
In this Pink hued dress a combination of
beads, rhinestones, and thread is paired with a wide dark pink lace. The front
top of the kameez is beautifully adorned in golden row of beads paired with an
equally beautiful beaded pattern. The gold compliments the light pink colour of
the fabric but as the eyes follow the design towards the bottom, they see this
simple but beautiful thread work lace at the bottom.
And in this simple yet picturesque dress
several sorts of materials are mixed in with plain thread work. And while one
may think that so many different forms of work will be too busy, when done in
the right manner, you can’t help but admire the beauty of the outfit. The
designer of this dress mixed the plain thread work with gorgeous and sparkly
rhinestone buttons. Adding stripes of black and white block print lace creates
an illusion of heavy falls in the dress. The net lace added at the bottom
finishes off the dress with a soft look.
