Chikankari work has always fascinated me. My introduction to Chilankari was at an early age when I was bought a Chikankari Kurta, and I simply loved it. Chikankari fabrics are so elegant and also high on comfort, and more so during harsh summers.
I’ve always loved chikankari work. It’s very difficult to do by hand, but nowadays, I think they do some by machine as well. Your lavender kurta is looking fab, so beautifully summery. I like the chikankari palazzos as well, they are truly classy.
Chikankari is one of my favorite too. I love the pastel colors especially in summers in chinkari, you get them all. They look royal yet homely.
I love chikankari and have several kurtas in different shades and designs. Their elegance is unmatched. Would love to check out The House of Chikankari for something as beautiful as your lavender summer chic pick!

I love Chikankari embroidery for its elegant look. I have tons of Chikankari kurtas and I think the hand made ones are far better than the machine made ones. Somehow, I prefer the embroidery on pastel shades of same shade ones.
I’ve loved chikankari work since I was a little girl. My wardrobe is full of kurtis and suits with this work, and it is my go to for summer wear.
