Side profile of a woman facing right, all black, ponytail swept up and back with a slight wave at the front hairline. The chin and neck line is clean, the jaw has a soft angle to it, and the shoulder fades out at the bottom rather than getting cut off abruptly. Its the kind of silhouette that reads as feminine without being overdone, which is why I get so many repeat orders on this one.
One colour, zero colour changes, 1 stop. The digitising here is all about density management because a dense filled shape at 5 or 6 inches with inconsistent underlay will pucker. the digitising software handled it with directional stitching that follows the natural curves of the profile, so the surface feels smooth rather than flat and blocky. At the largest size youre looking at around 30k stitches which is substantial for a silhouette, but thats what keeps the edges sharp. Had a customer last month who stitched the 4-inch version onto a blush pink sweatshirt and said the contrast was exactly what she wanted, subtle enough to wear every day.
Reach out if you want to know how this reads on coloured fabric. Ive had people stitch this on sage green, navy, and tan denim and it works on all of them. Skip white or very pale fabrics if you want the silhouette to feel dramatic, the contrast is better on something with a bit of colour behind it. Hoop with a medium cutaway stabiliser and dont rush the hooping, the fill density will show any puckering from uneven tension.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
