Silk Daman Embroidery Kurtas

Daman refers to the hem, and daman embroidery is worked as a border along it rather than scattered across the body. The weight of the needlework at the bottom edge pulls the fall of the garment straight, which is why the treatment is traditionally reserved for fabrics with enough body to respond to it.

Silk is that fabric. It carries a border without puckering and holds the sheen that makes hem-work visible from a distance, so these sit at the occasion end of the range rather than the everyday one. They are the pieces to reach for when the kurta is the outfit.
