Therefore, a total of fifteen products were made. The acceptability of these products was got assessed on different parameters i.e. for shape utility, embellishment techniques, and overall appearance. The belt, cushion cover, multi purpose mat, wall pocket and shopping bag were the most preferred articles suggested by the experts for preparation as diversified products of durrie material. II The top ranked design i.e. Chaar kali ka phool (Flower with four buds) for belt, Gulaab ki kali (Rose bud) for shopping bag, Chiriya ka joda (pair of sparrow) for cushion cover, Paanch kali ka phool (Flower with five buds) for multi purpose mat and Mor (Peacock) for wall pocket were made using three preferred embellishment techniques i.e. painting, machine embroidery and hand embroidery. The satin stitch, long and short stitch were used to hand embroidery the articles. For all the diversified product i.e. belt, cushion cover, multi purpose mat and bag the preferred embellishment material was sequines. Bead were at second rank for cushion cover, bag and wall pocket, therefore, used to emphasize the eye of the peacock word design in cushion cover and to enhance the beauty of bag and wall pocket. The stones were ranked for use on wall pocket hence used to beautify the mor design.

The shape of all the products except belt was highly acceptable whereas utility of the belt was highly acceptable by majority of them. Painted belt, cushion cover, wall pocket, shopping bag and machine embroidered belt and multipurpose mat were highly acceptable. Overall appearance of all painted products except belt was highly acceptable. Consumers perceived that preparation of all the products with painting took minimum time as compared to other techniques. They had high opinion about preparation of embellished designs on the products as according to them ‘it helps in breaking monotony of woven products’. Thus it is concluded that all the three-embellishment techniques i.e. printing machine embroidery and hand embroidery are accepted by the consumer and are helpful in producing the products as per consumer demand in comparatively less time.

The study was conducted in Hisar city of Haryana State in two phases i.e. phase-I, in which market survey was done to find out the suitable texture and colour of the fabric for stout women and prevalent embellishment trend. In phase-II, five top ranked developed kameez designs were constructed, embellished and assessed by the experts for suitability, becomingness, embellishment and slenderizing effect. Medium weight, slightly limp, lizzy-bizzy fabric in darkest shade of dull purple colour was found most suitable fabric for stout women. Deep and narrow pointed ‘V’ neckline with full length tucks, princess line and quarter length well fitted sleeves were found to be highly suitable constructed features of kameez in creating the slenderizing effect. Machine embroidery ornamented with sequins and beads separately was mostly found around the neckline along the border of the sleeve and princess line. Thus, all the five designs created and constructed with specific constructional features and prevalent embellishment techniques were in accordance with the needs of stout women as these were helpful in creating the illusion of slim figure and also as per latest fashion trend. The specific embellishment techniques in monochromatic and double split complementary colour schemes were helpful in emphasizing the constructional features of kameez and creating harmony and rhythm in design.
