<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4435231, member: 8363"]Imagine you are a young girl in a village preparing for your wedding. You buy fabric from a vendor; you cut it and create the creases, and you spend countless hours embroidering designs and symbols on it. You create a richly embroidered center section with traditional themes and perhaps, your special lucky tokens or favorite flowers. All eyes will be upon you on this special day, so you want to show off your skills. You line each crease with a hand embroidered ribbon of blue flowers that match the ribbon on the bottom of the skirt.</p><p>Compare this with your simpler garment, which is a homage to those traditional skills. The creases are suggested. The embroidered ribbon is applied and there is no center panel. Does this help?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
