Rs. 3,400

A Chikankari Unstitched Salwar is a beautiful traditional piece of clothing that showcases the delicate art of Chikan embroidery. This type of salwar is typically made from soft cotton or georgette fabric, and the unstitched nature of the garment gives you the flexibility to customize it according to your personal style and fit. Here’s a detailed breakdown of a Chikankari Unstitched Salwar:

1. Fabric

  • Cotton: Chikankari salwars are often made from cotton fabric, which is breathable, comfortable, and ideal for warmer climates. Cotton also gives a smooth surface for embroidery, allowing the intricate patterns to stand out beautifully.
  • Georgette/Chiffon: Some versions may also be made from georgette or chiffon for a more flowy and elegant feel, especially for festive or formal occasions.
  • Soft and Light: The fabrics used are typically light and soft, ensuring comfort throughout the day, whether you are wearing them for casual outings or special events.

2. Chikan Embroidery

  • Chikan Kari is a traditional Indian hand-embroidery technique that originates from Lucknow. It is known for its delicate, intricate needlework and beautiful designs, often using white thread on a lighter-colored fabric, although colorful variations can also be found.
  • The embroidery includes a variety of stitches like Basra, Phulkari, Murri, and Jali, and the designs may feature floral patterns, paisleys, geometric shapes, or abstract motifs.
  • The beauty of Chikan Kari lies in the intricacy and precision of the stitching, which gives the fabric a soft and textured appearance.

3. Unstitched Design

  • Unstitched Salwar refers to the fact that the salwar is not pre-made or stitched into a ready-to-wear garment. It comes as a fabric piece with Chikan embroidery already done on it.
  • This allows for customization. You can have the salwar stitched to your preferred size, shape, and style. The unstitched format gives you flexibility in choosing how you want the salwar to fit and what kind of style you want—be it a more loose or fitted design.
  • The fabric typically comes in pieces: one for the legs (which you will stitch into the salwar shape) and another piece for the front and back (which can be styled based on your preferences).

4. Design Features

  • Intricate Embroidery Placement: The Chikan embroidery on the salwar may cover the entire fabric or be concentrated in certain areas like the thighs, hemline, or ankles for a more elegant look.
  • Flowy vs. Fitted: You can choose to make your salwar either flowy and loose, which is comfortable and casual, or fitted, which gives a more structured and sophisticated look.
  • Color Variations: While the classic Chikankari is white-on-white, the embroidery threads can be in a variety of colors like pastels, bright tones, or metallic threads for a more contemporary, festive touch. The fabric itself can come in light shades like cream, white, pastel pink, or blue or bolder hues for a more vibrant look.

5. Occasions

  • Casual Wear: Chikankari salwars are comfortable and perfect for casual wear, especially during the day. They are great for summer months as they are light and breathable.
  • Festivals & Weddings: With their intricate embroidery, Chikankari salwars can be ideal for festive occasions like Eid, Diwali, or traditional family gatherings.
  • Work Wear: Depending on the design, Chikankari salwars can also be dressed up for work, especially if made in a subtle or minimalist design.
  • Special Events: You can even wear them to weddings or formal gatherings if paired with an elegant Chikan-embroidered kurta and dupatta.

6. Styling

  • Pair with a Chikan Kurta: An unstitched Chikan salwar is typically paired with a Chikan kurta or Chikan top to create a coordinated look. The designs of the kurta and salwar can match, or you can mix them with contrasting styles for a unique appearance.
  • Dupatta: A matching or contrasting Chikan dupatta can complete the look, adding an extra layer of sophistication.
  • Footwear: Pair your Chikan salwar with traditional footwear like juttis, mules, or chappals for a complete ethnic look.
  • Jewelry: Depending on the occasion, you can accessorize with traditional jewelry like jhumkas, necklaces, or bangles. For a more modern twist, delicate silver jewelry also works well.

7. Customization

  • Since the salwar is unstitched, you can have it tailored according to your exact measurements and preferences, ensuring a perfect fit.
  • Choose the type of fit you prefer, such as straight-cut, patiala, or palazzo style. The unstitched format offers flexibility for any type of salwar that complements your body shape.
