    The fabric you used is most likely a handmade textile from south East Asia, my mother has nearly the same one that she was given as a blanket from her family in Pakistan. I do think you made a beautiful dress from it.

    That looks quite a lot like "Baagh" which is a traditional handicraft from the Punjab region, parts of which are in India and Pakistan both. I've seen similar embroidery on pieces handed down to my mom by her grandma. It really turned out stunning Jenna!!

    My grandma was a teacher in Cambodia and Bangladesh and this fabric definitely looks like it could be from South Asia or Southeast Asia. Many of my grandma’s clothing from those places are made from the same material and have similar patterns as that fabric. Love it!!

  • @manyatakumar2576

    Phulkari is actually the embroidery technique used here. It is done in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. It is a count thread embroidery (so basically you don't trace the motifs on the fabric and instead count the threads and accordingly embroider) and hence, it is always geometrical like that. It was traditionally done on Khaddar fabric (thicker - with very clearly visible yarn in the warp and weft) so that the counting of the threads is easier. Bagh is a kind of Phulkari technique - which is the most popular and what is done here.
    These days, very few people actually still do traditional Khaddar Phulkari. Considering the commercial demands, lighter fabrics have become more popular. You'll see contemporary Phulkaris with traced motif if it is on say a chiffon or crepe or a lighter fabric like that because counting thread isn't possible.
    This piece is a hand done Phulkari on Khaddar with silk or resham unspun yarn. It seems to be worn away in some places - testament to the fact that it is a vintage piece. WORTH SO MUCH AND TRULY A STEAL!!!

    Adding the split changed this dress from night to day but vice versa. I love the fabric. My style is different so I would have added tulle to give it movement and side pockets. No matter my style choices you did an awesome job with the dress. Bravo.

  • @heidioppermann505
    @heidioppermann505 Před rokem +2

    When a fabric speaks to you, you get over the trials & errors in order to get it just right. The pleats and the slit give it the modern twist it needed and it came out beautifully. Good job!

      Why do you need to date a person to go to the prom? Not sure how it works in other countries in the wotld but don't think even half my prom had a date. Was a few. Was same with friends on other schools as well. And many just had a group of friends being the "date"
