Hand embroidered saree — a Mughal jungle woven into six yards of georgette
Some garments you wear for an occasion. This hand embroidered saree is the occasion. The field is blush nude georgette — weightless, almost sheer — and across every inch of it lives a forest. Deer step between flowering palms. Tigers move through the undergrowth. Birds perch on branches that spill into scenes drawn from Mughal hunting miniatures, the kind of paintings once made for emperors who wanted their walls to hold entire worlds.
The print runs full-coverage from pallu to hem — no plain field, no repeating tile. Every scene connects to the next. Hammad Bespoke Official, Multan, produced this saree for the woman who wants a garment people remember, not just notice. The georgette base was selected for its drape: light enough to move freely, structured enough to carry the resham border without pulling or puckering.
The resham border — where the hand embroidery begins
The print is digital. The border is not. Along the selvedge and across the pallu, a Master Artisan with over two decades in resham work at our Multan atelier has drawn each motif by hand before a single needle touched the fabric. Resham — hand-twisted silk thread — has been used in South Asian textile work for centuries; its origins in the Mughal court workshops of the 16th century are well documented in Textile Society of America symposium records on South Asian embroidered textiles. The border work on this saree takes approximately 40 hours of atelier time to complete.

The drape — six yards, one story
Georgette drapes differently from silk or chiffon. It has a slight texture — a gentle crêpe — that gives the fabric body without weight. Draped in the classic Nivi style, the pallu falls from the shoulder with the Mughal forest scene fully visible from across a room. The blush nude base reads as skin-adjacent under warm lighting, making the resham border and the print colors — terracotta, forest green, ochre, deep rose — stand forward rather than recede. This is not a saree that disappears when worn. It takes up space.
The atelier’s craft
Resham on georgette — technique and time
Resham work on a printed georgette base requires a specific needle gauge and thread tension different from resham on plain silk. Too much pull and the georgette gathers; too little and the thread sits proud of the surface. The Master Artisan at our Multan atelier works with fine-gauge needles and adjusts thread twist by hand before each session. The border motifs — botanical scrollwork with small figurative accents — are drawn in tailor’s chalk directly on the fabric before embroidery begins. No transfer paper. The lines are freehand.
Bespoke customization and fit
Every hand embroidered saree order from Hammad Bespoke Official includes a custom blouse commission. The blouse is made to your exact measurements — twelve points recorded via WhatsApp consultation before the atelier cuts a single piece of fabric. Neckline, sleeve length, back depth, and embellishment level are all specified by you. International sizing accommodated without adjustment fees for customers in the USA, UK, Canada, UAE, and Australia. The Bespoke Fit Guarantee applies: nothing ships until fit is confirmed. Browse our hand embroidered saree collection for further styles, or explore the silk saree collection for hand-loomed alternatives.
Worldwide delivery and garment care
This hand embroidered saree ships from our Multan atelier in an acid-free tissue wrap inside a rigid garment box — the georgette is folded with muslin interleaving to prevent crease set. Delivery to the USA and UK runs 3–5 weeks from order confirmation, allowing time for blouse construction and final border completion. Care: hand wash the georgette body cold, lay flat to dry, no wringing. The resham border is dry clean only — steam directly on the thread work will lift the silk twist. For express timeline queries, contact the atelier via WhatsApp. See our range of Pakistani bridal dresses for coordinating occasion wear.
