There are, however, many different popular types of embroidery for unstitched fabrics, and we encourage you to know about these specifically.

Embroidery is Everything Your Entire Wardrobe Needs

Embroidery has and always will hold a significant place in the world of fashion, beauty, wardrobe, and Pakistani culture. No, there is no way this is an exaggeration, truly. As shared already, embroidery is responsible for adding really intricate details to your 2-piece sets or 3-piece suits.

In addition, it is also responsible for applying artistic flair to fabrics of your choice. This basically means that no matter which season you are shopping for, be it the hot summer (fan favorite – no pun intended) or cold winter (our favorite), embroidered fabric has the power to give you incredible, visually appealing results that printed variations will never truly come close to.

So, ladies, for those who appreciate the freedom of designing their own clothes, unstitched fabrics with embroidery offer a canvas of endless possibilities.

We repeat: Endless Possibilities

For a simple clarification, imagine, from everyday wear to grand festive ultimate fashion pieces, the right embroidery can basically improve any outfit, no matter the style.

Below are some of the most popular types of embroidery for unstitched fabrics, ideal for Pakistani ladies looking to create custom-made fashion statements.

Chikankari: The Epitome of Subtle Elegance

Chikankari is one of the cutest, most modest, and definitely most delicate embroidery styles you will find in Pakistan. The idea is to give your outfit just the right amount of exquisite elegance that you will need. Check Beechtree’s chikankari collection to see for yourself.

And the best part is that there is no limit to your imagination. You can create a lehenga with the unstitched fabric filled with this embroidery. 

You can also make a long shirt or maybe a cute top (open from the front or buttoned down one) and accompany it with a sharara as its matching bottom. The options are limitless. You can decide, based on the style, which option you would prefer.

Usually, chikankari embroidery is done on lightweight fabrics like cotton and lawn (premium lawn by Beechtree). 

Chikankari is the kind of embroidery that will easily be part of your everyday office attire as well as formal or semi-formal occasions. The key is the fabric on which this embroidery will be used.

Note: Understated sophistication is usually the outcome of using chikankari embroidery (heavy or light)

Zardozi: Luxurious Embellishment for Bridal and Festive Wear

Distinctively set apart from the prior delicate embroidery options, the Zardozi luxury embellishment is made for brides and other super luxury festivities. As based on the above explanation, just know that these options are made with heavy and pretty elaborate metal embroidery. This embroidery is usually done on fabric like velvet, silk, and satin.

This absolutely insane embroidery usually consists of the traditional art form that uses metallic threads, sequins, pearls, and beads. Believe us, when all of this is combined, something extraordinary is created. Something that includes elaborate patterns on heavy fabrics like velvet and silk.

Moreover, Zardozi is commonly seen in bridal couture and festive wear due to its majestic appeal. Another word for this will be royal appeal.

Pakistani brides often opt for Zardozi embroidered outfits to make a grand entrance on their special day.

Phulkari: A Burst of Color and Tradition

Phulkari, meaning “flower work.”

So, based on the meaning, this embroidery includes pretty designs, traditional needlework, and, yes, a colorful embroidery option. Most brands use silk threads to create floral motifs on fabrics, making the ultimate phulkari embroidery design. Oh, and trust us, you can also get this kind of embroidery done on your outfits for both casual and festive outfits.

Traditionally, Phulkari is done on thicker fabrics like khaddar, making it a picture-perfect choice for winter wear. (Well, yes, we do realize that most marriages tend to happen in the oh so cold, cold months, especially December).

Style tip for our cute readers: Pair a Phulkari dupatta with a simple kameez to add a pop of color to your suit. However, you can also opt for a fully embroidered Phulkari shawl if you are going to a winter event.

Kantha: Simple Yet Artistic Stitching

This second-last embroidery option we are going to discuss is the best of both worlds. Why? Well, because it brings simplicity hands in hands with an artistic touch.

Kantha is a cute embroidery option known for its simple yet artistic stitching technique. Once you try it out, as in buying unstitched fabric with this kind of embroidery, you will see that it uses running stitches to create motifs of flowers and even the famous geometric shapes. Oh, you can also make animals with it for kids' shirts, etc.

Basically, Kantha work is typically done on lightweight fabrics. For example, fabrics like cotton and silk are famous options. Hint: Casual day wear.

The point is that while earlier types of embroidery were more focused on formal attire, this one is perfect for off-the-cuff styles, as in impromptu plans with friends.

Kashmiri Kashida: Timeless Art from the Valley

Kashmiri Kashida embroidery is famous because it is elaborate. In addition, experts use detailed needlework while using Kashmiri Kashida. This needlework usually features motifs of flowers, birds, and vines, done in vibrant colors.
