DMC Embroidered
DMC thread embroidery — leaf medallions and worked panels down the front and cuff — on tiktok satin and nida. Tonal on black, contrast on colour.
DMC is the heavy cotton embroidery thread that gives this work its raised, matte texture against the sheen of tiktok satin. On these pieces it runs as leaf medallions down both front edges and bands the cuff, tonal on the black pieces and in a contrasting shade on the colours. They are open-front, worn over a matching or plain inner, and cut straight so the work sits flat. The most-photographed line in the shop, and the one most often bought for a mehndi or an Eid visit.
