When choosing embroidery, there are various considerations to think of, and I will advise you and show you samples, before you make a decision.
I do hand embroidery and machine embroidery, depending on the effect required for your garment.
Embroidery can be very subtle on a dress if it is in the same colour. However, in a contrasting colour it can be quite dramatic, like on this riding style jacket.
The kind of thread used can make a difference to a fabric, whether a fine silk thread or a metallic shiny thread. A fine silk thread on a velvet pile fabric wouldn’t show up, whereas on a fine silk fabric it would look delicate and subtle. Also different stitches can be used to give texture or decorative pattern.
The positioning of the embroidery on the garment is an important factor, whether the whole of a bodice is to be beaded or just down the centre panel. The Bride and Groom’s initials embroidered onto a wedding dress train, can give a subtle, personal touch.
