The fabric in the image is embellished. You can clearly see intricate decorative elements made using sequins in various colours like black, gold, and silver. These sequins are sewn onto the fabric to form floral and paisley-like patterns, adding texture, sparkle, and dimension to the base fabric. The embroidery work looks quite detailed and intentional, which is characteristic of embellished textiles.

Traditional South Asian hand-embellished fabric featuring Sitara work applied using Aari techniques, with floral and paisley motifs inspired by Zardozi craftsmanship.
