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.

KHAYAL (moodboard):
The skyline of Lucknow is incomplete without the gliding silence of Kites. Watching them is a therapeutic & out of body exprience. During our childhood, taking cups of tea in the evening & sitting on the rooftop & watching the gliding Kites was a popular Luckhnavi leisue activity, as was flying it. Times changed & everything became fast paced, pushing these slow activities to the backburner. They were seen as something ancient & not quite fitting in. Still, when we meet our Lucknow friends or family, the glding & elegant Kites make way back into the conversation with the oft repeated "Don't know where that time flew by" - Power of Silence. This motif of Chikankari is an exclusive design of Meiraas launched in 2018.
POSHAAK (about the dress):
Patangbaazi or the Kite Flying Ritual as it was called is shown on the Kurta with delicate floral patterns in pastel Yellow colour in Meiraas Exclusive Semi Stitched Kurta made on Handloom Cotton. A gentle smattering of Mukaish adds the starry charm to this visage. The lace adds charm & romance to the ethereal Kurta. While the Kurta is not exactly opaque as it is White, it is a Cotton Kurta with Chikankari & will not necessarily need lining, unless you choose to take one.
Additional Details: This Kurta can be stitched up-till sizes S (small) to XXL (Extra Extra Large) only. Please select your size & we will stitch it complimentary. Ready Length: Approx. 44 inches.(this is meant to be 60s inspired knee length or just below the knee)
