Chikan embroidery is mostly done on fine & light fabrics
like cotton, semi-Georgette, pure Georgette, crepe, chiffon, silk and any other
fabric which highlights the embroidery.
Embroidery adorned with Mukaish, Kamdani, Badla, sequin, bead and mirror work. These are the smart decorative designs which are finally carved on the textile fabric. This craft has maintained its elegancy and attraction.
How to identify Chikankari embroidery
One of
the main things to identify is the neatness of the work. An original handmade
garment is checked for precision and neatness, before it is ready to be sold.
So, a garment with uneven stitching, loose threads and a thicker fabric only
indicates that a machine has been used in the production.
Price range
The Fabric can cost you between Rs.1000 and Rs.5000. Beware
of cheaper versions ranging between Rs.200 and Rs.500, as they are mostly made
using machines, and don’t have the precision and neatness of hand embroidery.
Care guide
Lucknow Chikan embroidery should ideally be dry
cleaned, although this also depends on the fabric. A silk garment needs to be
dry cleaned while cotton can be handwashed at home.
