1. Exclusive Meiraas motifs carved following all antique processes.
2. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery with rare & exquisite stitches
3. Handwoven Chanderi produced In House by Meiraas.
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.
POSHAAK (about the dress): The Mrig and Mrignayani are embroidered in this Meiraas Exclusive Kurta made on Handloom Chanderi. The Soft Green shade adds a regal touch to the Kurta.
Important: The kurta will come with a detachable slip complimentary from Meiraas, along with stitching & finishing also complimentary.

- Artisan Skill Enhancement: The dresses are embroidered by our Rajnigandha unit, who till 2019 were used to working on what is termed as "chaalu kaam" or fast moving Chikankari goods. They had never worked on such a skilled piece that helped them invest more creative hours & therefore earn better piece with creative satisfaction
- Paan Motif: Usage of the much less used Paan Motif in regular work also, so that this motif can be revived.
- Handloom Chanderi fabric: Making this dress a Handwoven & Handcrafted delight
Here I would also like to divulge, that at the risk of losing business, I have put my foot down on making “gowns” (whatever that means) and One Time Wears as much as I could.
For my Kalidar Dresses, I revisited some films from 1960s, where Kalidar Frocks, both Knee Length and Calf Length were worn by vintage actresses. The ease, the charm, the subtlety and the flow - I wanted that. I will especially recall Sadhana’s short one in Mere Mehboob, and Padmini’s beautiful orange one in Mera Naam Joker, in a Qawali song. Smart, easy to dress up and down, laidback and classic.
Something you can wear anywhere, anytime.
Here’s presenting a series on one of my favourite themes - Dolce Far Niente aka The Sweetness of Doing Nothing”

Aamra Manjari Chikankari Frock
₹7,900.00
SUSTAINABLE MEIRAAS CHIKANKARI
KHAYAL (moodboard): Ruskin Bond's novella "A Flight of Pigeons" is set in Shahjahanbad, Uttar Pradesh, during India's first recorded War of Independence against British Raj in 1857. The story, though a love story in the intent, is a lot more than that. It is a beautiful story of camaraderie in such bleak times between English women who are left as survivors of an aftermath, & extreme kindness & compassion they end up sharing with Indians where they take shelter. The friendship between "Kothiwali" an aging matriarch & Mariam, the English lady is lovely. The Cotton Frock, Aamramanjari, is an ode to this friendship & hence is made in a style that passes for both Indian & English.
Aamra Manjari or Mango Blossoms is the name given to the beautiful embroidery, as that belt of Uttar Pradesh is dominated by rows and rows of Mango plantations. Just like the tender & joyous blossoms, the friendship of women in this story is unassuming, under rated, yet most beautiful.
POSHAAK (about the outfit): Aamra Manjari Cotton Frock is made on Soft Pure Cotton. This frock is part of our artisan skill set improvement project, & the full collection took 1.5 years plus to get made. The front ghera (flare) is heavily embroidered with Mango Bark, the bust is done up with minimal flower & bel boota. The back has one statement Aamra Manjari motif & rest has small scattered flowers. It is a beautiful dress to be worn in any weather & any occasion - work, beach holiday, fort holidays, home working. It can be dressed up as a Kurta and dressed down as a tunic on the beach.
Fabric: Powerloom Cotton
