Chikankari Cotton Kurti

Chikankari, also known as chikan work, is a traditional embroidery style from Lucknow, India. It is known for its delicate and intricate thread work on lightweight fabrics such as cotton, muslin, and chiffon. Chikankari kurtis are a popular choice among women, as they are not only stylish but also comfortable and perfect for everyday wear. The process of creating a chikankari kurti involves several steps, starting with the designing of the pattern. The design is first drawn on tracing paper and then transferred onto the fabric using a charcoal pencil. The fabric is then stretched onto a wooden frame called a "adda" and the embroidery is done using a needle and thread. The thread used is usually white or pastel colors, giving the kurti a subtle and elegant look.
