What are the three designs?

Phulkari is a Punjabi field of darn-stitch diamonds in gold and magenta. Chikankari is scattered buttis and a white scalloped border on pink georgette. Gota patti is gold ribbon flowers on a green and yellow chiffon.

What do the draped, spread and close pictures show?

Draped shows the dupatta falling from a wooden rail, spread shows its full length from above, and close up shows one corner where the border meets the field.

Can I type a different colour?

Yes. A typed colour, such as in red, is a request for a new picture, not a promised result.

Dupatta embroidery designs: phulkari, chikankari, gota patti

Dupatta embroidery designs — a Punjabi phulkari dupatta on rust khaddar, its whole field covered in geometric darn-stitch diamonds of golden-yellow and magenta silk floss that catch the light, draped over a wooden rail on a sunlit veranda, warm daylight from camera-left, the tonal balance warm with soft shadows in the folds

Reading 3Gota patti

A dupatta shows its embroidery most when it falls from the shoulder, so these pictures show the border as it hangs and as it lies flat. Three designs: a Punjabi phulkari of darn-stitch diamonds on rust khaddar, a pastel chikankari georgette with a scalloped border, and a leheriya chiffon with gota patti flowers. Type a colour or an outfit as a direction, such as in red or with a suit.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
