Chikankari Kurtis at Siya Fashions: Elegance in Every Stitch

From a young age, I’ve always been passionate about exploring different styles of clothing. However, during my school years, I didn’t have the opportunity to experiment with a variety of outfits. Financial limitations and the need to focus on my studies often took precedence.

Once I started earning, everything changed. I embraced my love for fashion wholeheartedly, experimenting with countless styles and combinations. Over time, I began guiding others on how to dress and style themselves, which further fueled my passion for clothing and self-expression.

Being from Lucknow, I’ve always felt a deep connection to the timeless beauty of Chikankari embroidery. This exquisite craft, rooted in my city’s heritage, deserves to be celebrated far and wide. Historically, it is said that Noor Jahan, the wife of Emperor Jahangir, introduced and popularized this intricate form of hand embroidery. It’s a tradition that has been cherished for centuries, and I’m proud to share its beauty and elegance with the world.

Let’s dive deeper into the artistry and charm of Chikankari embroidery—a craft that speaks of grace, culture, and timeless elegance.

Chickenkari not just shows rich heritage but also depicts efforts of artisans who kept this art alive through the centuries.

Techniques Of ChickenKari Embroidery 

The essence of Chickenkari lies in its meticulous craftmanship. Before the embroidery begins, the fabric is prepped with patterns carefully printed using wooden blocks and temporary dyes, providing artisans with a guide for their intricate work. 

ChickenKari is predominantly a hand-embroidered art form, with each stitch crafted with exceptional skill and care. It is typically done on lightweight fabrics like muslin or voile, allowing the delicate needlework to stand out beautifully.

An interesting aspect of ChickenKari is its functionality. The embroidery, characterized by tiny perforations, creates a breathable effect, making garments airy and ideal for hot summer days. 

Types of ChickenKari Stiches 

Chickenkari embroidery encompasses a variety of intricate stitches, each contributing to the craft's delicate beauty. Some of the notable stitches are: -

• Tepchi: - A basic running stitch that forms foundation for many designs. 
  

  
  

• Phanda: - Small, circular dots that add details and texture to the embroidery.

              

• Murri: - Rice Shaped stitches that require significant skill, often used to create floral motifs. 

• Bakhiya: - Small straight stitches are worked in a way that they are hidden under the fabric. This creates a shadow effect, adding subtle texture to the design. It is used for outlining floral or leaf motifs, creating delicate designs.

• Jali: - Small, evenly spaced stitches forming a fine grid or mesh patterns across the fabric. It creates net-like texture, often used in background or to add depth. 
  
Well, there are over 30 types of stitches in chickenkari embroidery that are available and being designed by artisans.
