Description
Summary:Tasikmalaya embroidery is a narrative craft absorbed from Chinese culture. Tasikmalaya embroidery is well-known and exported to countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Brunei Darussalam, the United States, and Africa. Tasikmalaya embroidery is known for its manual craftsmanship and its high quality. The embroiderer moves both of their hands and feet to create the desired variety of embroidery. Tasikmalaya embroidery has experienced a decline in exclusivity due to a large drop in market prices. This made many embroidery craftsmen unable to compete and left their profession. In this research, the researcher found an opportunity to apply local legends in Tasikmalaya embroidery. This is because it is rare to find the application of Tasikmalaya characteristics in Tasikmalaya embroidery. This research focuses on Tasikmalaya embroidery, the legend of the guardian fish of Situ Gede, and its application to fashion accessories. The researcher conducted research exploration on the visualisation of the Situ Gede guardian fish legend, exploration of Tasikmalaya embroidery techniques in finding suitable techniques for the visualisation of the Situ Gede guardian fish legend, and exploration on organza, satin, and taffeta fabrics to find suitable fabrics with Tasikmalaya embroidery.
