2. Handwoven Linen
KHAYAL (mood-board):
We dreamt of Chikankari on Linen, with small wisps of Resham Blossoms of the craft sprouting on the fabric, like spring invoking the birth of fresh flowers from the Earth, after the first melting of the snow. Experimenting on Linen fabric was always a vision we saw, as a possible replacement to the antique quality Chikankari done on Bengal Muslin, which is rare and largely inaccessible now. We wanted the moodboard to be Soft Romance of nature against a gossamer, sustainable fabric.
POSHAAK (about the dress):
Handloom Linen Tunic with lace detailing & Resham Chikankari done on the front & back of beautiful purple Jacaranda blossoms.
Additional Details: This Kurta can be stitched upto sizes S (small) to XXL (Extra Extra Large) only. Please select your size & we will stitch it complimentary. You can leave length preference in the Customer Note.

Pastel peachy orange Pure Cotton self pattern Kurta Fabric with Fine Chikankari embroidery done using heritage motifs from our unit (please read full description).
The Sustainability Quotient (SQ):
1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery
2. Handpicked heritage value motifs
3. Top quality pure cotton fabric
KHAYAL (moodboard): Orange Biskoot or Biscuit reminds me of a bakery in Lucknow (confused whether Good Bakery or Burma Bakery), that made these subtle orange flavoured nankhatai sort of biscuits. The colour had a hint of orange, and they tasted very subtly of the orange flavour, like just about. They were my favourites back then.
Gradually either they stopped being made, or newer bakeries came up with truffles and what not, we did grow apart; yet the memory lingers - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas
POSHAAK (about the dress): Beautiful peach coloured Kurta Fabric in Pure Jacquard Cotton anointed with embroidery just a shade darker. The Chikankari motif used here is a heritage one, and rarely seen. The back has a single motif of Phool with the precious Sunehre Kasab ki taar jaali. The sleeves also have the back motif one each on either sleeve. Rest of the Kurta is plain, so that both self pattern fabric & Chikankari on it can neatly shine through.
The Chikankari is Resham and will be 3 taar.
This kurta fabric is a good way to wear heritage motifs in classical Awadhi style, and most importantly for everyday wear, not just occasion wear.
Please Note: Only Kurta Fabric is available to shop from this post. If you want us to stitch it for you, then drop in a mail at namaste@meiraas.com and our team will assist you further.
