Chikankari is a type of textile embroidery style originated from Lucknow in the late Mughal period. It is a simple and precise work on the garments that gives it a subtle and a classy feel, in which the modern embroidery fails.This 400 plus years old embroidery and chikan saress & kurtis are a global sensation even in today’s world. Well, known celebrities and fashion icons are a big fan of this traditional embroidery style.

The technique of chikankari is unique in its own way, the one of its kind. It is divided into two parts the pre and the post preparation stages.In pre-work, the design is decided and engraved onto wooden blocks. Then these blocks are used for block printing the designs on clothes with the help of blue (neel) and white (safeda) dyes.

Then comes the post (embroidery) process, where the fabric is set into a circular frame, part by part, and embroidery is done with needlework upon the print made by the wooden blocks. Some of the most popular stitches in lucknowi chikan include tepchi, bakhiya, hool, zanzeera.

The finished garment is first checked for consistency and neatness and then washed to remove all traces of ink. Before being ready for commercial sales, the garment is starched to obtain the right stiffness. The pure chikankari is an art and the best quality work can be done through hand embroidery, but these days mostly embroidery is done through machines and thus, today’s market is losing the real essence of thechikan embroidery. It’s becoming a bit hard to find the best quality chikan work.See more at- http://www.alankrit.co.in/
