Maggam work blouse designs: simple, heavy and Lakshmi motif

Maggam work on saree blouses at three levels: a simple border around the neck and sleeves, a blouse fully covered in maggam with stones, and a back with a Lakshmi motif. Each sits on a dress form in a tailor's shop, a bright boutique or as a close-up of the work. Add a direction, such as 'peacock motif' or 'with mirror work', to ask for a change; the picture is a request and may differ.

• Showing a tailor how much maggam to ask for

Frequently asked questions

What do the nine pictures show?

Maggam work at three levels: a simple border, heavy full-cover work with stones, and a Lakshmi motif on the back.

What are the three views?

A tailor's shop, a bright boutique and a close-up of the work.

Can I change the motif?

Yes. Add a direction such as 'peacock motif' or 'bridal red'. It is a request, so the result may not match the nine.

Can I print these?

They are portrait-shaped pictures, so they suit a portrait page. Check the size you need before you print.

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.
