POSHAAK (about the product):
Khus - the hue associated with ancient Awadh!! Khus!!
The essence of Khus is difficult to describe, unless experienced firsthand. However, if one has to, then this grass, that throws the most pleasant fragrance, when sprinkled with water, is the feeling one gets when donning a Chikankari Kurta in scorching summers, sitting indoors, and reading a book with soft music and eating Kulfi.
Khus is that romance that is indigenous to Lucknow, and to Awadh. This Kurta has been lovingly given this beautiful Pastel yet deeper green hue to denote our expression for Khus - fresh and romantic!!
The Khus Green Chikankari Kurta made on soft cotton has a Round and V design, showing beautiful décolletage, and comfortable in the sweltering months.
The neck has beautiful embroidery, while the rest of the body has lovely scattered motifs.
The back of the Kurta has small bootis scattered at a distance.

A Chikankari Wardrobe or even a Summer Wardrobe is absolutely incomplete without the essential Cotton White Kurta with White Chikankari.
Made on Pure Soft Cotton this straight cut Kurta has stunning Mughal Flower Boota at the hemline & one at the back. To keep the work minimalist we have given small floral bootas allover.
The Floral Mughal Boota is has a rare stitch HATHKATI (which literally means cut by hand) in the stem of the Flower, while Bakhiya, Ghaspatti, Keel come together to make the full flower. A perfect anywhere & everywhere pick!!

POSHAAK (about the product):
Nawabi is a tunic designed taking references from Bengal style neckline that was very much in vogue right uptil 70s. Largely used for mens' fashion in the past, we have made the design gender neutral by creating it for women.
This is self woven pattern (Jaquard) Pure Cotton Chikankari Kurta with beautiful chanapatti, shadow, phanda (hand cutwork) stitches, with Mother of Pearl button detailing.
The shade of the Kurta: ECRU
What is ECRU? Ecru is an un-White colour; meaning a white that has subtle hint of another colour. At Meiraas, we are exploring an un-White colour palette, and Ecru is a colour we have successfully replicated after many trials on fabric samples.
Ecru is generally of two kind - White with hint of olive green, White with hint of olive brown. While both Ecru are ethereal, we lean more towards the green tint; so summer fresh and elegant.

KHAYAL (mood-board):
Mango & Rose - Sipping Mango Shake in Lucknow summers is one part of the joy. An even better presentation is when Mango Shakes are garnished with Rose Petals, and served in earthern "kulhad" glasses. This was something done in some popular juice corners in Lucknow, transforming the much loved drink to an instant royal feel. Now very few such shops remain, but the memories are still fresh, & private summer soirees in Lucknow, still serve this speciality. A design where both ideas could merge, & play a pastel on pastel symphony was always on our minds.
POSHAAK (about the dress): This bright, beautiful Yellow kurta, has Resham Chikankari embroidery in lovely Pink shade. The fine Chikankari is accentuated further with Mukaish hand embroidery on the kurta. The symbiotic result of both crafts merging is a stunning display of soft colour on colour. The kurta is made on very soft handspun, handloom cotton fabric.
Additional Details: This Kurta can be stitched upto sizes S to XXL only. Please select your size & we will stitch it complimentary. Ready Length: Approx. 44 inches.
