Nug Work

Nug is the small flat-backed stone set into a metal claw and stitched down in a line or a medallion. On these nida pieces it sits at the chest and collar with trails along the front edge, giving a plain abaya a worked front without embroidery. The cheel, maxi and open-gown cuts here are the everyday shapes, so this is the line for someone who wants a little light on the front of a piece she can wear to work.
