ARTISANAL CHIKANKARI BY MEIRAAS
KHAYAL (moodboard): Boteh or Boota is the backbone of the crafts of India. Revered globally since the most ancient times, the Indian art of Boteh making, that captures vivid imagination into a miniature art form, which is repeated as a pattern on the gossamer fabrics, has captured the design ideology of fashion, Worldover.
POSHAAK (about the dress):Â Boteh or Boota of a floral miniature adorns the beautiful Blush Peach Kurta all over the front panel, along with neck detailing. The rest of the body & dupatta has smaller miniature motifs to balance out the minimalist, classy look. A gentle smattering of Mukaish adds the starry charm to this visage. The lace adds charm & romance to the ethereal set. The Kurta will come with complimentary detachable slip & stitching.
Additional Details: This Kurta can be stitched uptil sizes S (small) to XXL (Extra Extra Large) only. Ready length will be maximum 46-47 inches approx.

THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ):
Artisan Skill enhancement: Exclusive Meiraas Patta Patta Boota Boota Motif embroidery that is a mix of Aari & Chikankari in same motif.
Handmade in India
KHAYAL (mood board):"When i had designed the first Tunic & Palazzo set (it was yellow and my personal set), i was very new into this work & having grown up seeing Chikankari wanted something radically different in motifs and layout, yet something that does not defeat or overpower the elegant & laidback mood that the craft is identified with & loved for. I continue to be a rebel in my thoughts about designing Chikankari pieces & by now that has become a signature style of Meiraas. This ensemble was designed to be something you can slip on easily in casual or formal meetings in India, & as comfortably carry them in SoHo, New York or a French Countryside in a vineyard possibly. The idea was my rebellious little mind that wanted tradition to carry on, yet break from the pattern and do it" - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Design, MeiraasPOSHAAK (about the product):
Soft cotton Chikankari Tunic (Kurta) in Meiraas Exclusive Patta Boota Motif. The interesting part of this Motif Embroidery is the clever confluence of two styles of embroidery in one motif, both native to Lucknow, Aari & Chikankari. The Flower is filled with Aari stitch, whereas the rest of the motif is done in Chikankari. Both seamlessly come together in a perfect symbiosis.
About the Tunic (Kurta): The length is 41 inches for each Kurta. This length can be shortened 2 inches only on request. The motifs are 3 on hemline, one each on either shoulder. Please mention your size as per size chart on checkout.
About the Palazzo (Pants): The waistband is belt style (flat) in front & elastic at the back. The motif comes 1 each on each leg. Length is 37 inches and can be altered.
Important:
Chikankari garments are translucent by nature as they are mostly made on lighter cottons & in natural white or pastel shades. To wear a slip underneath is subjective to the wearer's comfort

KHAYAL (moodboard): Have you ever seen Lucknow's famous 500 plus year old dessert recipe, Malai Gilauri? For those who have not, it is Malai or Khurchan cooked over hours, that is removed from the sides of a paan, when cooled down. The layer of cooked Malai is then decorated with many beautiful condiments - pistachios, almonds, sugar, kewra water - before rolling into a Gilauri. The process just before making the Gilauri is a beautiful sight. This motif with the finest stitches of most beautiful & complex embroidery, and Jaali stitch, reminds us of the Gilauri, just before getting folded and bound into a mouthful of sweet bliss.
POSHAAK (about the garment): This dupatta has 3 Malai Gilauri motifs along the centre length, making it look full, yet not overwhelming, so that the extremely beautiful Gilauri motif looks clutter free and neat, resting upon delicate Organza. A subtle stunner!! Small floral bootis accompany this one of a kind dupatta.

KHAYAL (moodboard): If Chikankari embroidery is Poetry on Textile, then Jaali stitch is its Evocative Drama!! Jaali is an exceptionally brilliant optical illusion created on fabric by the hands of the karigars, where they replicate the trellis pattern of windows. Windows through which the first rays of sunshine sieve and enter a dark room, and spread their warmth in an alluring pattern. Windows through which the silver glow of a full Moon, enters in a cosmic colour play of calmness. Jaali has more spiritual connect with the artisans than we can think; maybe this is what makes the stitch the high point of Chikankari art.
POSHAAK (about the garment): The Antique Ambi motif is a Century plus old motif. The Jaali work on this motif is done using Qasab or Zari filament, which is the toughest level of Jaali stitch done on any fabric. To top this, this intricate hand cut stitch has been done on cloud like pure Organza Silk. Teasing the fabric apart to the precise extent, and creating perfect trellis pattern with Zari Filament (which is almost invisible to the eye), is the speciality of this heirloom Dupatta. It is a piece of wearable art that you would love to pass on generation to generation.

FISH motif is one of the most celebrated icons of Awadh's heritage & history. The Fish Emblem was sacred to the Nawab royalty of Lucknow & Awadh, and its inspiration looms large on the many architectural landmarks across Awadh, that are now seeing the ravages of time. We have already created an Original Chikankari Motif of the Fish Emblem, we now wanted to create a revival of the iconic symbol in another masterpiece art of Awadh - Daraz applique.
The Awadhi Crafts are versatile with hand arts beyond Chikankari; Many crafts like Daraz, Mukaish, Aari, Zardozi have a unique standing of their own, yet are now relegated as an add on to Chikan in their most basic & non creative form. Daraz applique is one of them.
