Custom Design Your Own Embroidered Clothing

The concept of embroidered clothing covered a wide range of stuff made of cloth. Be it any texture, material or purpose. We have clothing for people, bed clothing, table clothing etc. And the prime method of sprucing these and making them as rich as possible as beautiful as possible was the use of embroidery.

Embroidery was the most favored method of expression for women - as they could do it in their free time. It could be done at home or in the kitty of women gossiping, watching over kids, etc. it used to be considered a method of making good use of time, steadying one's hand, a good hand-eye co-ordination exercise and many other advantages. As most of the house work was left to the maid servants this used to be considered a good activity. For queens and princesses to do to make good use of the time on their hands.

For the poor making embroidered clothing would be a method of making money for food clothing and shelter. They would weave and embroider quilts, bed linen, canopies, table clothes, bonnets, parasols, handkerchiefs, leather helmets, gowns, trails, wedding bouquets, and whatever else they could think of. The lucky and totem animals were carved out of bone and stitched into the clothing, pretty shells, mother of pearls, pretty buttons applique work, sequins, different color and material cloth and threads found their way into this wildly creative medium. It could be as fine as the work of nature with fine stitched or symbolic like the french knot to express roses, etc.

Embroidered clothing has a timeless appeal and the heirlooms are worn with pride and as a major fashion statement. This would be because the material used for the embroidery this antique clothing, used to be genuine gold thread, silver thread, semiprecious and precious stones on good quality thick silk, linen, cotton, which has lasted so long. Today the work is imitated through and through be it the material of the cloth or the embellishments all of it is plastic. However, as good looking and affordable, hence available to everyone.

Embroidered clothing was used by many kings and principalities to mark their kingdom - in the form of the royal crest or emblem embroidered onto the sleeves, leather vests, breastplates of the warriors, on to the herald flag, the king, queen and higher officials togas, trains, etc., these crests represented their status. With the Greek and Roman armies came the concept of Uniforms. The easiest way of making a mark and not have it washed off was to embroider the symbol of the King and his House on to the uniform.

Nowadays, the best way to branding goods is embroidery. Companies sell embroidered clothing as an advertising tool - by placing their logos onto jackets, knapsacks and other bags, shoes, sneakers, floaters, pant pockets, t-shirts, cuffs, collars and various places on the clothing. This way the logo on the embroidered clothing lasts with the user as long as the clothing lasts. Ensuring customer satisfaction because the customer too wanted to show off the brand he can afford to wear.
