Hand Embroidery
Worked by hand on a frame. Slower and dearer than machine work, but the finish on a bridal neckline is not comparable.
Mirror, sequin, zari and thread work on necklines, sleeves, yokes and borders. Done in house, so the design is planned against your cut rather than bought ready made.
Embroidery and handwork is decorative stitching added to a garment, covering hand embroidery, machine embroidery, mirror work, sequin and bead work, zari and thread work, and patch or appliqué work. At Nirmal Boutique in Sri Muktsar Sahib the design is planned against your own cut and measurements before stitching begins, so motifs sit correctly on the neckline, yoke, sleeves and borders.

The DifferenceReady made embroidered panels are cheap and quick, but they are cut to a standard size. On a shorter frame the yoke sits too low, on a wider one the motif stops short of the shoulder seam. The suit ends up wearing the design instead of the other way around.
Because we take your measurements and cut the suit here, the handwork is marked out against your actual pattern pieces. The neck motif centres where your neckline actually falls, and the border ends where the hem actually ends.

Faster and more even, good for repeating motifs, borders and larger panels where consistency matters more than texture.
Traditional sheesha work, secured properly at the edges so the mirrors do not lift after a few wears.
Sequins, beads and stone work for party and function wear, laid so the garment still moves rather than going stiff.
Gold and silver zari, plus coloured thread work in matching or contrast shades from our thread stock.
Fabric patches cut and stitched onto the garment to build a design, often mixed with thread outlining.
These are the shapes we work with most often. Bring a photo of anything else and we will tell you whether it suits your fabric and frame.
The safest base for a heavy motif or a full embroidered yoke. Suits almost every frame.
Elongates the upper body. Works well with a narrow vertical border rather than a wide panel.
Wide and flat, so the handwork runs shoulder to shoulder. Strong choice for mirror work.
Clean lines that frame a geometric or patch design neatly. Popular for daily wear cotton suits.
A structured band that carries thin zari or thread detailing along the collar edge.
An opening below the neckline with worked edges. Small detail, noticeable difference.
Mostly used on party and function wear, usually with sequin or stone edging.
The heaviest option, covering the whole yoke. Standard for bridal and party wear.
Hand work is stitched on a frame, takes longer and costs more, but gives depth and texture that machine work cannot match. Machine work is faster and more even, which suits repeating motifs, borders and larger panels.
A single neck motif is usually a few days. A full yoke panel or bridal handwork can take one to three weeks depending on the density of the design, so book well ahead of a wedding date.
Yes. We can add work to a stitched garment, though placement options are more limited than on uncut fabric because the seams are already closed. Bring it in and we will show you what is possible.
It can if it is laid badly. We keep the density appropriate to the fabric so the garment still falls and moves, especially on chiffon, georgette and lighter materials.
Yes, and it is a common combination. A printed panel with thread or sequin work over it gives a heavier finish at a lower cost than full handwork. See suit printing.
It depends on the technique, the size of the design and how dense the work is. Indicative ranges are on the pricing page and the exact price is quoted before starting.

Handwork is marked against your cut pieces, so the suit and the design are planned together.
