Maggam work blouses are one of the oldest forms of traditionally embroidered blouses. In fact, these Maggam work blouse designs have existed for over a century now. The embroidery technique of the Maggam work blouses requires the artisans to use a needle that is shaped like a hook at the tip. The needle is somewhat similar to what a crochet needle looks like but the Maggam needle is finer and meant for more precision. Some needles are also shaped like an awl, but with a small hook at the end of the needle. Handed down to us by the century-old embroidery style of the Mughal era, Maggam embroidery is also often referred to as Aari embroidery. So Aari embroidery is known as Maggam embroidery/work in the peninsular states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Ornate and delicate designs inspired by nature are brought to life by skilled artisans with precise stitches and the gentle gradations of the colour of the thread. Maggam work requires a tight frame to hold the cloth, and this frame is designed with the same principles as that of the traditional Khatla found in most Indian villages even today. This work is hence also called Khatla work. Despite its ancient existence, even the millennial brides tend to instantly fall in love with the Maggam work blouses and we are no exception.

Given that blouses can completely make or break the look of your bridal saree or bridal lehenga, blouses play a very significant role in a bride's wardrobe. If you are looking for some fabulous inspiration to add more fervour and glamour to your wedding outfits, we have handpicked some of the top trending Maggam work blouses just for you.
