Abstract

The variety of patterns and techniques of Baloch embroidery, the high elegance and geometry that lies in the art of Baloch embroidery, In the last century, it has attracted the attention of national and international designers towards this art. According to the background fabric, Baloch stitching can be implemented in two ways, Taarkesh and Taarshomar. In Taarshomar sewing, decorations are made on separate pieces and then connected to the main garment, But Taarkash stitching is performed directly on the main fabric and has a higher artistic value, But it should be kept in mind that not all motifs and sewing techniques can be implemented with this method. Trying to develop the art of Baluchi embroidery and creating innovation and creativity while maintaining the originality of the work and recognizing patterns based on the background fabric for easy implementation in clothing design topics are the goals of this research. So far, there has been no research that examines the traditional methods of Balochi embroidery in clothing design, And the present research, using analytical-descriptive method, focused on the division of patterns and techniques of Baloch sewing and how to implement the techniques according to the background fabric,
