Luscious lemony Yellow 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): Sometime back I had conceptualised a saree, and named it Biryani chawal saree. I think that video is still available to see on our IG Videos. In that video i had mentioned that the Murri stitch resembles Sela variety of rice, used for making Biryani. That entire saree was dominated by very rare Murri stitch, which is quite difficult to do, and hence is done less now. I wanted to design a Kurta Fabric using extensive Murri stitch, and here it is!! - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas
POSHAAK (about the dress): This luscious lemony yellow Kurta has a stunning phool patti neckline and has extensive use of the rare Murri stitch, amongst others. Murri, when done exactly like this, is a sight for the sore eyes. The sleeves have the same antique bel as neckline.
The back has a heritage Paisley motif with extensive use of Murri & Jaali stitch is also there. Rest of the kurta is plain so that both self pattern fabric & Chikankari are laid our neatly on the kurta.
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.

KHAYAL (moodboard): The outskirts of the historic & charming city of Lucknow are equally beautiful in their rustic charm. These ancient Indo Gangetic plains are lush with greenery & boasts of one of World's oldest agrarian civilisation. Watching the emerald landscape of Awadh is a surreal experience, even more so in winters when dotted with the migratory bird population, the most notable of these being the Siberian Cranes, that never enter the city Lucknow, but stay just outside, especially in Nawabgunj Bird Sanctuary. With this concept in mind, we wanted to design motifs that glide in the night sky in a Yin & Yang appeal; we found the desirable art style of these motifs, very surprisingly, in Japan. The ancient Japanese Art style is dramatically circular in design, & it is here that we found our serendipity, the right manner to display the Nawabgunj Cranes. The motif of Chikankari is an exclusive design of Meiraas launched in 2018. Borrowing from Japanese palette, we designed the motifs keeping Chikankari stitches in mind, that best romance the gliding flight of the Siberian Cranes.
POSHAAK (about the dress): The cranes are falling, gliding, flying & finally in a circular Dance of Love in this Meiraas Exclusive Semi Stitched Kurta made on Handloom Cotton. A gentle smattering of Mukaish adds the starry charm to this harmonious flight - Power of Silence. The lace adds charm & romance to the ethereal Kurta. While the Kurta is not exactly opaque as it is White, it is a Cotton Kurta with Chikankari & will not necessarily need lining, unless you choose to take one.
Additional Details: This Kurta can be stitched up-till sizes S (small) to XXL (Extra Extra Large) only.Please select your size & we will stitch it complimentary. Ready Length: Approx. 44 inches (this is meant to be 60s inspired knee length or just below the knee).

KHAYAL (moodboard):
The skyline of Lucknow is incomplete without the gliding silence of Kites. Watching them is a therapeutic & out of body exprience. During our childhood, taking cups of tea in the evening & sitting on the rooftop & watching the gliding Kites was a popular Luckhnavi leisue activity, as was flying it. Times changed & everything became fast paced, pushing these slow activities to the backburner. They were seen as something ancient & not quite fitting in. Still, when we meet our Lucknow friends or family, the glding & elegant Kites make way back into the conversation with the oft repeated "Don't know where that time flew by" - Power of Silence. This motif of Chikankari is an exclusive design of Meiraas launched in 2018.
POSHAAK (about the dress):
Patangbaazi or the Kite Flying Ritual as it was called is shown on the Kurta with delicate floral patterns in pastel Yellow colour in Meiraas Exclusive Semi Stitched Kurta made on Handloom Cotton. A gentle smattering of Mukaish adds the starry charm to this visage. The lace adds charm & romance to the ethereal Kurta.

KHAYAL (moodboard):
The motifs here represent the beauty of the "graam" or village of Awadh, just on the outskirts of the historic city of Lucknow.
The "mrig" (deer) following the Kastoori (fragrance) of "Mrignayani" (lady) is a poetry etched in Chikankari. This block was made by the son of our block print master. We were so encouraged to see the young generation's interest in creating such artful motifs that we adopted this motif as part of Meiraas collection.
