Elegant Woman Face Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The face carries a really confident line. Sharp bob haircut, the fringe sits just above the brows and the hair builds up with tight directional stitching that goes from root to tip so it looks like actual hair texture. The features stay minimal on purpose. Thin almond eyes, a slim nose bridge in maybe 3 lines, and then those red lips which hit in satin fill and are kinda the whole point of the composition. Only 3 colours but they do a lot of work.

Around the face and spilling below the chin line theres a cluster of roses, leaf sprigs and butterflies. Two butterflies in black outline and one big red rose with tight satin petals, a few smaller blooms in outline only. Wilcom digitised the hair fill first then the face details, then the florals come in underneath and around, so the layering actually looks intentional rather than random. Five sizes from a compact 2.32-inch height up to 4.96 inches, and the linework on the face holds even at the smallest size which is not always a given with portrait designs.

Im gonna be honest this is a boutique and salon design first. I made it last spring after customising aprons for a lil hair salon whose owner wanted something fashion-forward rather than the usual scissors-and-comb type image. She put it on black cotton twill aprons and last I heard shes been selling em to her clients. But I also get messages from people using it on tote bags for handmade jewellery brands and independent clothing labels, which makes sense given the vibe.

Use a cutaway stabiliser on this one, specially on the dense hair fill which reaches 35k stitches at the 4.96-inch size. Stitch on black or charcoal fabric so the red lips read as the focal accent, or try cream linen if you want a softer contrast. Skip jersey for the bigger sizes, that dense hair section needs a stable woven ground. The butterflies at the base use open satin columns so those hoop sections need to be taut.

Pair the medium 3.64-inch on a tote bag with a text block below it. Works really well on a black canvas bag for a fashion boutique or a handmade cosmetics brand packaging situation.
