It has left an indelible imprint even on international fashion like Escada, Lingara and Ferra have their ensembles embroidered in India.

Some Indian embroideries that can do wonders for an outfit are:

Aabla: Mirror work which has its roots in Rajasthan and Kutch.

Aari: Embroidery done on a cot. Also known as khatla work aari originated in Barabanki.

Badla: Flat metallic wire, silver or gilt wire embroidery.

Butas and Butis: Motifs composed of floral forms fitted into paisley shapes derived from the Mughal era.

Lari: Fine quality gold thread embroidery found in Bareilly , Benaras ( Varanasi ), Lucknow and Agra. These days silver zari is equally popular.

Phool Patti Work: Applique work from Aligarh where usually organdi or other fabric cutouts in floral and leaf motifs are affixed on to a plain fabric sometimes in tandem with silver tilla embroidery.
