Get gorgeous fabrics in different embroidery patterns and prints. The handblock prints include ajrakh, kalamkari, dabu indigo, batik, jaipuri and bagh, and embroidery such as kantha. A 44-inch ajrakh triple block cotton fabric will come for INR 245. The ajrakh print will come out best on a kurti or a blouse.
SS Ethnics has a vast collection of handicraft blouses, both stitched and unstitched, which gives you an option to go to your favourite tailor shop and get it made to perfect fitting. But a few of the readymade ones are worth drooling over, such as a Jaipuri block print one with frilled sleeves, an ikat woven blouse with ajrakh detailing and a black kalamkari screen print blouse with a deep U-cut back, among others.
