Re: Chatta patti gharara
ok so i have an idea for a chatta patti- instead of using different colours entirely, how would it look if it was one color and you did a gradient of it?
like on a paint swatch, from darkest at the bottom to the lightest and do it in diagonal stripes instead of diamonds. would that look really weird?

That sounds very pretty and would look nice if the top most layers blended in with the shirt of the lehnga that you were doing... a darker colored shirt would cut off the body and make it ...look like two pieces instead of a long lean torso... does that make sense?lol...i can just think of one in shades of navy blue turning into a light baby blue at the top....or an eggplant going from dark almost black purple to a light lilac at the top?
Re: Chatta patti gharara
^ i was thinking the same thing- shirt should match the lightest color.
i was actually thinking black going up to pale grey but it might look too dull.
also, you know how some jamavar fabric is in a striped pattern? do you think they'd be able to dye within those stripes so its not strips of fabric sown together but one piece just dyed different shades? cos i dont want to see the seams between the strips... i guess the other option would be to get kaam on top of each seam?
Re: Chatta patti gharara
I saw a jamawar color swatch at Hilal silk palace which was just one piece of cloth, with every few centimeters in a different color. So I guess it's possible. Ask your dyer :)
Re: Chatta patti gharara
what you could do is ...instead of having seams....u could get the work done were the color changes...so the fabric is one piece ...going from dark to light.... and the chuta pati part is the kaam along the edges of the colors...that makes it look like strips sewn togeather. i think otherwise it would be a bit too much...with the color changing ..then the jamawar with the booties on it...and then the work on it....

Also if you go from a bluish black into a bluish grey...kinda like a baby blue with grey..it could look pretty and not dull ...just grey by it self would kinda look blah...but a blended grey with another color might not look so bad
Re: Chatta patti gharara
this is the kind of non-seam look i was talking about http://www.paklinks.com/gsmedia/files/68535/n505362060_853358_46641.jpg
i like the bluish-black to bluish-grey idea a lot.

thats exactly what i meant with the kaam on the seams bit.
and yeah, jamavar might be a bit much but what else? silk? is that heavy enough for a gharara bottom?
Re: Chatta patti gharara
SGC u know what? get that jamawar where there is no gold work on it..its like green on green or blue on blue or grey on grey...sort of like a embossed design in the fabric...or lighter colored booties? becuase silk would be too light...
Re: Chatta patti gharara
post pictures when u get it done... are u getting it done here or back in pakistan?
Lovely 
Whos it by ?
