An ethereal Blush or soft Pink Pearl colour Chikankari saree on Kota Doria, with subtle sequins & pearl detailing . This saree is one piece only and Ready To Ship.
The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
1. Skilled Hand Embroidery on absolutely novel motif art.
2. Hand carved motifs carved following all processes.
4. Chikankari work done on intricate, antique motifs, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well researched coffee table book.
5. Sequins & Pearl detailing on the saree
KHAYAL (Mood-board):
Blush Pearl or Pink Pearl is the inspiration behind this saree. A strand of pearls with Chikankari Kota sarees is what defined the ladies of Lucknow and their summer afternoons & evenings. These strand of pearls were in usual ivories, but sometimes one could also find a beautiful strand of Blush Pink pearl strand and a saree to match! That understated elegant look was the inspiration behind this saree.
POSHAAK (About the garment):
Summer evenings cannot be as elegant, unless draped in this beautiful Blush Pearl Tepchi Chikankari saree. The saree features a very unique style of palla layout. It has a beautiful border on 3 sides, which features stunning taagha Jaali work along with Tepchi, a rarity now, and something we love doing.
The saree has a gorgeous & subtle blush nude shade, that is further enhanced with light sequins & pearl detailing to make this a summer afternoon or evening informal party wear as well.

Khayal (Moodboard):
Miniature or "keel ka boota" are absolutely small and detailed motifs in Chikankari, that though very popular once, and now used very sparingly in a very commercial market. These motifs were extremely popular amongst even the Britishers and Europeans who loved the appeal of a clean palette with nuanced small motifs, lazily adorning the fabric with delicate touch. Meiraas undertakes the work of finding such miniature antique motifs (now such new motifs are not made) and using them to create subtle pieces of wearable art.
Poshaak (About the fabric):
This Chikankari and Mukaish Top/Blouse fabric is an ethereal White on White beauty, with smattering of two miniature motifs of Flowers on front & back and one motif for sleeves. This will be a blouse that you will love to pair with any saree. We will recommend that you keep it white for multi usage. Please get the fabric fully lined to make a blouse.
