Embroidered lenghas is the traditional Indian clothing of women since ancient time. Popular both among wanderers, tribals as
well as royal people of olden days, embroidered lehngas come in many different styles. The tribals prefer
embroidered lengha in ordinary cotton fabric with as many as eighty panels with ornate embroidery and mirror work.
Royalty could afford more intricate brocade, tanchoi and heavy satins even with real gold and silver embroidery,
studded with precious stones. The length of tribal embroidered lehnga varied between knee to ankle, whereas
that of richer people was always long enough to touch the floor as they moved.

The complex border patterns which appear all over the world - from Eastern Europe to Palestine and
from Thailand to Morocco - are actually created in a very simple way. Single motifs are uncommon in peasant
embroidery; instead the motifs are usually repeated to form straight bands, which are then arranged above one another.
Traditional Greek Island designs can have as many as six or seven different bands put together to form an intricate
border, which is usually finished with a pattern that creates a broken outer edge.
The Origin and history of embroidery - The word Embroidery comes from the
Anglo - Saxon word for "edge", but the technique itself was being used long before that. The term was first applied to
decoratively stitched borders on medieval church vestments.
But over time it came to cover all stitched decoration on
any textile fabric. It is an art of hand weaving which is done with the help of needle. It also known as needlework.
The earliest known Embroidery examples are from 3000 B.C. They are hand work over the woven threads on clothing.
Designs for embroidery came with the traders, first from the Portuguese, then Dutch, and finally the English setting off
on long voyages to bring back cargoes of all sorts, especially spices and textiles. Soon from China and
eventually India came "musk, rhubarb, pearls, tin, porcelain, and silk and wrought stuff of all kinds."
Embroidery is the thread that connects women through all the centuries of our history, no matter how much our lifestyles
change. We have always shared that passion, or at times, the necessity.
Embroidery, like every other art form, needs to be understood to be fully appreciated and enjoyed. Insight of
the principles not only creates the urge to "paint" with needle and thread but gives one the knowledge that enables a
more keen perception of the old masterpieces as well as modern day pieces. There is no fix shapes and sizes of
embroidery. It may vary from inches to feet's.
