The Process

The process of creating balochi clothes is kind of complicated and requires patience, money and time. There are two ways, you can either buy a finished zee-astonk and fabric, or the hard way: let someone embroid the zee-astonk the design and color that u pick out, and buy fabric for it. Here are the different steps! :)


The easiest way: Just go to the bazaar and pick out a zee-astonk you like, as you can notice, there is obviously no lack of zee-astonks!






The "hard" way: You have to choose a unembroided zee-astonk, the pic below shows "printed zee-astonks", without threads or anything, just printed designs.



2. You need threads to embroid the "painted zee-astonk", and its all up to u what colors u want for ur zee-astonk....



3. And of course you'll need mirrors! There are differents mirrors so just pick out some hundreds and the only thing u need now is a lady who can embroid ur zee-astonk! :P
