The back features the stunning Nritya Mayur motif, an antique more than 100 year old motif. It has been detailed with hand cutwork stitch, the queen of Chikankari stitches, Kasab Taar Jaali, very extensively, making it a masterclass piece of wearable art.
The stitching of this Achkan Kurta was perfected after numerous trials, to enable good coverage and flattering fall to all body types, especially Indian.
