"Chikan means embroidery and the Chikankari sarees are adorned with intricate and beautiful thread embroidery. Chikankari is a traditional style of embroidery from the Indian city of Lucknow. Earlier this Chikankari was done only on white fabric with white threads. It is a delicate form of embroidery that comprises many stitching patterns. These patterns are hemstitch, chain stitch, back stitch, etc. The shadow stitch pattern is one of the most famous of all these patterns. Generally, in a shadow stitching type, work is done on the reverse side of the cloth so that it can be visible on the right side of the fabric. Today the chikan art form has seen many advancements and westernization. Not only cotton, but the chikan-work embroidery is also made with silk and coloured threads. It keeps the Chikankari to the point and meets the latest fashion trends too. Chikan work also accompanies and has adapted embellishments. They include Kamdani, Mukaish, sequin, Badla, mirror and beadwork, which gives these sarees a royal look. You will also see chikan work saree of different patterns on our site."
