More about the saree:

  • Chikan is a delicate and artfully done hand embroidery on a variety of textile fabrics like muslin, silk, chiffon, organza, net, etc. White thread is embroidered on cool, pastel shades of light muslin and cotton garments. Chikan began as a form of white-on0white embroidery, but in recent times has adopted additional embellishments like Mukaish, Kamdani, Badla, sequin, bead, and mirror work. The most popular origin story credits Noor Jahan, Mughal empress and wife of Jahangir, with introducing chikankari to India.
