Product Description Chikankari embroidery is a heritage art technique that has both desi and western patrons. If you don't already own a chikankari outfit, then you're missing out! Read on and fall in love with chikankari embroidery designs.

Delicate, romantic, dreamy, and subtle - chikankari embroidery designs are undoubtedly a delight. Originating from Lucknow, India, and having its roots in the Mughal era, chikankari embroidery is not simply an embroidery technique, but an ancient art form. The very first references of chikankari embroidery designs as 'flowered muslins' date back to the 3rd Century BC.

Chikankari technique is unique and stand-alone amongst all the traditional embroideries. While modern chikankari has been mixed and consolidated with other traditional techniques, the core of chikan work stays true to its roots even to this day.

GEORGETTE FABRIC Unique Chikan Stitches Chikan is a delicate and artfully done hand embroidery on a variety of textile fabrics like muslin, silk, chiffon, organza, net, etc. Lucknow is the heart of the chikankari industry today, and the variety is known as Lucknawi chikan.

Bakhiya Stitch is one of the most renowned and appreciated stitches of chikan embroidery. This stitch is widely used in chikan garments. Ulti Bakhiya (From the backside) is crisscrossing of threadwork on fabric, a reverse of shadow work. It gives the look as if the embroidery is itself the texture of the garment. Seedhi Bakhiya (From the front side) is a stitch where the filling is done on the wrong side while the design is bounded by a running stitch on the right side of the fabric to give a neat look.

Georgette fabric is a sheer, lightweight apparel fabric. Originally made from silk, Georgette is now made with highly twisted yarns. Its characteristic crinkly surface is created by alternating S- and Z-twist yarns in both the warp and weft. It's a little heavier and stronger than chiffon and not as lustrous. It's a sheer fabric that is transparent.
