Share this piece

Rubina Khatoon, of Khadra in Lucknow, hand embroidered tepchi into this sleeveless top and added no second stitch, one running line white on a white ground, carrying the whole pattern. 60 denier runs both ways through the mulmul, so a cloth of 70–75 GSM is woven at a single fineness, its fibre 100% cotton. Chameli is the jasmine, the flower this white takes its name from.

The stitches

  • Tepchi (running)The swift running stitch laid along the printed motif, the ground on which every other stitch is built.

How to wear it

  • White in the ground and white in the thread, so no shade on the top asks a bottom to match it. Whatever goes below brings the outfit its colour.
  • Denim shorts in June and tailored trousers with a jacket in an office are both bottoms this hem falls over, and the top does not change between them.
