KHAYAL (mood-board):

A dream…a desire…a reverie! A Walk in the Clouds! When textiles woven in looms were lighter than the air, when times were slow and carefree, when a life was well lived and had a wholesome purpose.

There was a time when Muslin woven by our weavers was lighter than the air. It was further anointed with the finest quality of Chikankari. The result was a dearer than life creation of beauty..a joy to just behold.

Those times are gone. That fabric doesn’t exist. But can we re-create, re-imagine and bring back a sliver of that beauty?! Yes we can.

POSHAAK (about the dress):

A Walk in the Clouds is a re imagination and re-creation of the famed, classical Muslin Chikankari Angrakha Kurtas, that are now found in handed down private collections or museums. We have done some changes, to make them more functional & wearable for today, as what is Art, if it can’t be worn & celebrated, with aplomb!

This classic cut was earlier, exclusively men’s kurta; we have re designed it to be dress for the ladies!

The Muslin is extinct now, but we have tried to re-create that beauty in Pure Organza Silk.

Since Organza is floaty, unlike Muslin, masterclass rare Murri embroidery (the Biryani Chawal stitch), has been done very skilfully on the panels to give weight to the dress and give it a flattering fall.

The Angrakha cut was very difficult to achieve in this fabric, and 1 master tailor alone can make this dress from start to finish. The Angrakha cut, enables the dress to be worn both opened as a throw on, or closed as a dress, thereby increasing its functionality.

The dress will come with a Satin Silk Silk Dress inside, to match (unless specified otherwise by the patron). This alone is enough for anyone to wear it as a dress.

The sleeves have been kept 3/4^th to keep the look of the dress.

Apart from the masterclass murri neckline & kali detailing, the back has a statement motif with all rare & precious stitches! The dress is a beauty to behold!

While it doesn’t need, but if you wish to add plain Glazed Cotton pants in same shade to match, you can select the same from Glazed Cotton Plain Pants and in Customer Note mention: Please make Pants to match the selected dress. We will do the needful

This post has Kurta (stitching with lining/slip is complimentary) that can be shopped. Pants, if needed can be added extra, as explained above.

Please Note: This dress can easily be worn to many places, but since this work is very premium and the fabric, though strong, is delicate to handle, please take great care in storing it well in the cotton bag we provide. Meiraas is not liable for any mishandling of the dress.
