i REALLY REALLY want a close up of this picture ... or could someone break it down for me ... the dress work i mean ...

maybe put pictures of the kind of work it has on it ... kis tarha ka aur kaunsa kaam hai ... my mother went out to see some bridal lehngas somewhere ... and i was so not happy with the pictures she sent me of the really bad dhaagay/moti wala kaam ... i hate that stuff ...

That is so gorgeous, all bunto's work looks the same eh' unless everyone is going for the same style? Beautiful nonetheless!

farrah · Nov 4th, 2009, 01:56 PM

^ so do you know what kind of work is on the dress?

bbbb · Nov 4th, 2009, 02:05 PM

No sorry, I think that's why it's hard to mimic what the designers have made, because only they know what sort of work they have used. I hope someone can help you dear

This is the closet I could get to Bunto's work on some other outfit.

I think the work always is kora, dabka, naqshi made in different patterns and motifs.

The kaam done on this shirt can easily be done on the lower 1/2 of the sharara you posted.

The borders can be replicated on the sleeves, borders on the dupatta, daman of the shirt and the lehnga.

The shirt and the rest of the dupatta just have scattered botis, that are made resemblin the rest of the kaam.

The neckline part is made to look like a teen lara with simalr motifs.

Here is another pic of this outfit.

The combination actually is red with shocking pink.

Yo can also browse the Bunto thread for more of her work. I think many brides are looking for a breakdown of Bunto designs. Please just stick to one thread so that we don't keep on posting the same info over and over again.

mahismart · Nov 4th, 2009, 03:58 PM

Really want to change the name of the thread to 'Bunto Breakdown.'

the top of the 2nd outfit you posted mahi, is identical to the one farrah is inquiring about!

afashionistalives · Nov 4th, 2009, 04:05 PM

the one thing i've noticed about bunto's work is, the kaam is so intricate and neat that it literally looks like its embossed fabric and not embroidery on fabric. makes me think how hard the poor karigars are working to produce such art.

I also think that they are getting paid quite well as we don't see any slipping off and start making Bunto copies anywhere or they are very loyal workers. Why does this bring house elves to my mind?

fasaadi · Nov 4th, 2009, 04:14 PM

^yeah which is the tough part about falling in love with a Bunto jora if you can't get Bunto herself...its near impossible to get a look-alike.

Sohni649 · Nov 4th, 2009, 04:22 PM

im still not sure wot the bunto hype is....does she have a website or sumfin...i need to check out her stuff...although im not really wow'ed by it...haha mayb im delusional....

naqsa · Nov 4th, 2009, 04:23 PM

^ tell me about it! That's why I am back tracking and no longer having this jora copied. I'd rather go to a low-end designer and get something that I won't be dissappointed with. If you can't get the real thing, it's hard to settle for the fake :-( Why does she have to be sooo expensive?? *tears*

^ She's so good, she doesn't need a website.
And maybe you are not dillusional, not EVERYONE likes Bunto's style and the same applies to every designer.

bbbb · Nov 4th, 2009, 04:28 PM

that's interesting, it is the same jora, check out the chairs and the rope in the back ground. the style of the duppata is slightly different...may be she got up or something...

chanda_kh · Nov 4th, 2009, 04:39 PM

^the 2nd (bottom) outfit has a lot more fabric to it..hmmm i dont think the chairs are the same..plus the jewelery of the 2nd dulhan is different too..
i like the bottom of the one farrah posted..

bbbb · Nov 4th, 2009, 04:48 PM

girrrl, even the cushion is the same...lol

BlushingRose · Nov 4th, 2009, 04:48 PM

taar work
dabka (coiled wires)
kora (twisty coiled wires)
teeny tiny metal sitaray (sequins)
within the motifs there are small stones and intricate
small motif gota (on the borders or embedded within the border of the dupatta and the sleeves)
dhagay ka kaam
beadwork

The combination of all of these kaams add to the intricacy...you cannot tell them apart unless you are looking at the jora in ur hands.

Someone posted this a while back it is extremely helpful:

As far as I know, zari and zardozi are fairly generic terms referring to gold thread embroidery. There is an endless variety of specific technical terms referring to various different styles of zari and zardozi work...dabka, aari, nakshi, etc. Dabka refers to embroidery done with tightly coiled golden wire...it's very commonly used in Pakistani clothes. Kora work is a plain gold colored stitch. Aari work is a kind of flat chain stitch that's done with a special hooked needle (a lot of traditional Kashmiri embroidery is aari work)...it can be done in metallic or colored thread. Nakshi work is done with a special kind of very shiny thread. Ganga Jamuni work just refers to the use of designs that incorporate both silver and gold colored embroidery. Kundan is the use of "gems" (usually plastic or glass) in the embroidery...if you use glass, it becomes "cut glass" work, if you use swarovski crystal, it becomes "swarovski work"...

The use of "gems" makes this kundan work. The coiled wires (they look like springs) on the edges of the central blue stone are dabka work. If you look closely at the "jaals" theyre made of a delicate chainstitch...that's aari work

The super shiny threads in this are nakshi work.

I guess I'm just an avid shopper, and I've read up on it a little too. Ritu Kumar wrote an interesting book on traditional attire in South Asia...I learned a lot from it.

As far as other terms are concerned...
Mukesh work refers to small, polished, silver colored, star shaped dots scattered all over...
Salma & Sitara work refers to sequined embroidery.

Jamavar is a type of handwoven fabric (usually in silk or pashmina), that has a design woven into it. Nowadays, some stores will cut corners and just print or machine embroider the design on and call it jamavar...

Kamkhaab is silk brocade...its fabric that has been hand embroidered over with flat gold thread. The classic Banarsi saree is made of kamkhaab silk.

Gota is metallic ribbon applique.

Chikan is a Persian style of embroidery that came to India during the Mughal era...its traditionally done in plain white cotton thread on fine muslin fabric, but it can be done in other colors too.

Sozni is the typical single stitch style of Kashmiri embroidery that you often see on shawls:
