How to Care for Zari Indian Embroidery

Video Transcript

Hi, this is Ruchi on behalf of Expert Village. This thread is very intricate - this thread is very delicate, so you should always get the piece dry cleaned and we advise you to iron it. Whenever you iron it, don't force the fabric, and iron it from below. As you can see, this color, which comes out after a span of time of a year or so, this color fades away as well as the brightness of this thread. Whenever we start designing work we have to make a point of the fabric that we're using. It has to be stiff enough to hold this work these things which you can see. This really gets into the fabric and the thread is sharp enough, so it has to be stiffer fabric, so that it doesn't come out after a period of time, and the fabric doesn't tear off. In the fashion scene, some things are obviously tried and tested, so people use only the metallic colors like gold and silver and copper. We use these three colors basically for all of the works, and obviously combining it with the contrasting fabric so we can take the contrasting fabric color and see if it's a gray and red combination so we can the red for embellishment on the gray fabric, to enhance and balance the contrasting fabric also.
