What is the embroidery like on the kurta?
The yoke is worked in white-on-white chikankari in a scalloped, jaali-like pattern, with small floral buttis scattered below. Because thread and fabric are the same colour, the design shows through texture rather than contrast, which gives the kurta a calm, classic Lucknowi look.
Will the white kurta be see-through?
Chanderi has a lightweight, sheer texture, so plan for a lining. A white or ivory cotton lining keeps the kurta opaque and lets the white chikankari stand out cleanly. The lilac and purple tie-dye dupatta is meant to stay airy and can be worn as it is.
What comes in the package?
Two pieces: an unstitched kurta length of about 2.9 to 3.0 metres and a dupatta of about 2.4 to 2.5 metres. A bottom is not included, which leaves you free to pair the kurta with churidars, palazzos or straight pants you already own, in a shade picked from the dupatta.
Any tips for my tailor?
Ask your tailor to use a fine needle, finish the seams neatly and place the cut so the embroidered yoke sits centred on the chest. Add a soft lining for body. When pressing, iron on the reverse with a cloth in between, so the raised chikankari stitches are not flattened.
Is the chikankari done by hand?
Yes. Chikankari is a hand-embroidery tradition from Lucknow, and the set is handcrafted. The motifs on the yoke and the scattered buttis are worked stitch by stitch, so small differences in spacing or thread tension are signs of handwork, not flaws.
Can I wash it at home?
Dry cleaning is preferred, and it is the safest choice for chanderi with chikankari and a hand-dyed dupatta. If you need to freshen it at home, wash each piece separately in cold water with a mild detergent, do not soak or wring, and dry it in the shade.
