Tatted neckline – front and back
I took a break from tatting. This tatted neckline is the first design after the break. Tatting is always I love to use for designing dresses. On sarees too I have extensively used tatted laces.
I prefer tatting for the following reason:
- Delicate beauty: Tatting is known for its delicate and intricate patterns, which can add a touch of beauty and elegance to any dress design. The delicate appearance of tatting can make a dress stand out, giving it a unique and eye-catching look.
- Versatility: Tatting can be used in a variety of ways, such as creating lace trim, edging, and accents on a dress. This versatility makes tatting a popular choice for designers who want to incorporate lace into their designs in a unique way.
- Durability: Tatting is made from strong threads, which makes it a durable and long-lasting option for dress design. The knotting and looping techniques used in tatting help to reinforce the lace, ensuring that it can withstand wear and tear.
- Customizability: Tatting can be made in a variety of colors, patterns, and sizes, which makes it easy to customize for specific dress designs. This allows designers to create tatting that is unique to their vision and that perfectly complements their dress designs.
- Though it takes time, there is no comparison for the beauty of tatting and worth the time spent.
Here is what I designed.
The front of the neck design
The backside of the dress
This is a kurti stitched in raw silk like material. The threads used are Anchor tatting thread and Lizzbeth . I have used beads. I rarely use beads in tatting, for me it is cumbersome. This is the first time I have used beads for a lace. But now I am liking bead tatting after this tatted neckline. So I have decided to use beads for another saree lace. I have decided on saree color, thread color and the beads. Everything I will be sharing with you soon.
Until then ,
Love, Laugh and Live the life to the fullest,
