Sequin & Sitara Work in Delhi — Shimmer for Reception, Sangeet & Saree Looks
Sitara — small metal or plastic discs stitched by hand — catch every light at an evening function. From a scatter of buttis to all-over shimmer, sequin work turns a simple silhouette into a reception or sangeet look.
Origin
Mughal-era sitara work, now worldwide
The Heritage of Sequin & Sitara Work
Sitara (literally 'star') have been part of Indian embroidery for centuries, used alongside zardozi to add sparkle to royal garments. Modern sequins come in many finishes — matte, metallic, iridescent and tonal — and have become a signature of evening and reception wear, where they photograph beautifully under lights.
The Technique Behind Sequin & Sitara Work
Each sequin is attached by hand on a frame, either individually with a bead holding it in place, or overlapped in rows so they lie like scales. Tonal work uses sequins the same colour as the fabric for a subtle sheen; ombré work shifts shades across the garment.

Frequently Asked Questions — Sequin & Sitara Work
Is sequin work heavy to wear?
It depends on coverage. Scattered buttis and tonal work are light; all-over overlapped sequins add more weight. We balance it to the occasion.
Is sequin work suitable for a wedding guest?
Yes, especially for evening functions like the sangeet and reception.
Can you add sequin work to a saree I own?
Often, yes, depending on the fabric. Bring the saree and we'll check whether it can take the work.
