I use this for designs like geometric patterns, straight lines, or standard Makkhi styles. It is the ideal choice for regular wear, Milad, or daily use where you need a crisp look that survives frequent washing. The finishing is clean, and the threadwork stays defined. **Hand Embroidery (The Artisan Touch)** This is where my karigars excel. Whether it is the 'honeycomb' Fatemi design or the delicate Zardosi work, hand embroidery provides a depth and a slight irregularity that defines true craft. * **Makkhi Work:** I offer single, double, and triple makkhi options, executed manually for that raised, premium feel. * **Fatemi & Dori Work:** These intricate designs require skilled hands to follow the fabric's flow, ensuring the collar and paan (placket) look sophisticated. * **Farmaan Colours:** Whatever style you choose, I strictly adhere to community-approved Farmaan colours—Gold, Mustard, Brown, and Firozi—ensuring your outfit remains appropriate and respectful for all community gatherings. ### Can I order remotely? Yes. Whether you are in Mumbai, the USA, or Dubai, I have perfected a remote measurement process. You do not need to be in my shop to get a perfect fit. I guide you through a simple video tutorial using an existing garment that fits you well. This has allowed me to serve clients worldwide with 99% accuracy. If you have a specific pattern in mind or saw a design you like, share the photo with me. I will replicate it with the quality and finishing you expect from Avon Tailoring. ## About Avon Tailoring Salaam. I am Abdulqadir, and at Avon Tailoring, I stitch happiness, not just clothes. Whether it is a traditional Fatemi design or a custom set, I treat every garment like my own zimmedari, ensuring the fit and finishing meet our community's high standards.
