POSHAAK (about the product):
Daaman is a traditional skirt from Haryana that gifted to daughters when they are getting married. The women of the house traditionally make them themselves as a token of love. The skirt is noticeable for its beautiful volume and typically ends at ankles. It is traditionally made in Cotton.
We have got these skirts made in Haryana, & then it travelled to Lucknow for Chikankari, completing its own journey of culture.
The skirt is made on soft cotton & has no lining as the volumes & gathers need none. The Chikankari is kept at miniature motif style with Phool Boota anointing this one. The skirt is perfect for any occasion or any destination.
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
