Royal Blue Chikankari Kurti with Shadow Work Embroidery

Radiate confidence and grace in this stunning royal blue Chikankari Kurti — a tribute to the centuries-old craft of Lucknow, reimagined in a bold, vibrant hue.

Fabric & Color Woven in a vivid cobalt/royal blue, this kurti is made from soft, lightweight fabric that flows beautifully and feels gentle against the skin — ideal for both casual and semi-formal occasions.

Embroidery & Craft This piece stands out with its rich pure Chikankari embroidery — no  work, letting the needlework speak entirely for itself:

• Elaborately embroidered neckline yoke with dense floral, vine, and jali (lattice) work
• Delicate shadow work (bakhiya) and raised embroidery (murri & phanda) techniques visible throughout
• Symmetrical lotus and floral butis spread gracefully across the full body
• Large ornate medallion motifs on the lower hem with intricate fill stitching
• Continuous border embroidery along the hem and side panels
• Embroidered sleeve cuffs for a refined, finished look

This is a delicate Chikankari shirt with mirror work, so please handle it with care.

• Hand wash gently in cold water.
• Use mild detergent only.
• Do not bleach.
• Do not rub, twist, or wring the fabric.
• Wash dark colors separately.
• Avoid soaking for a long time.
• Dry in shade to protect the color and embroidery.
• Iron inside out on low heat.
• Do not iron directly on mirror work or embroidery.
• Store folded or on a soft hanger to avoid pulling the thread work.

For best results, dry clean is recommended to keep the embroidery, mirror work, and fabric looking fresh for longer.
