Handworked Blouses in Easy Budget

Let us have a look of some of the blouse embroidery patterns and how we can cut down on the cost.

Mirror work is the best option when you are working with a plain saree. Mirror lace borders can be done on sarees from Rs 400 onwards including the border attaching cost. Then when it comes to the blouse there are several options
* Mirrors with golden zari closure as in pic. This is the costliest kind as it is done manually using aari work.
* Then another options is to stick the mirrors and adding beads round the mirror. The cost is dependant on the size of the bead. Bigger beads will cost less and smaller beads more.
* The cheapest option is to use readily available mirror frames which are available in all colors.

When you are working on a blouse, the best way is to work on the back of the blouse and the sleeve. Nowadays, handwork is also done on the shoulder side which is seen. This can help reduce cost.

For those who wear a hijab with the saree, better confine the handwork to heavy sleeves as you do not want to spend a handsome amount on handwork and close it off.

Mirrors are available in all different shapes and sizes : square, round, oval, rectangle, teardrop etc.
When you are working with misshaped mirrors like for example, the teardrop shape, you will not be able to close off the sides properly. The best method is to stick it well and then finish the sides with simple chain stitch zardosi or beads,
