The Buyer’s Checklist: Real Chikankari vs Machine Embroidery

Discover the Craft

Handmade Signatures - True Chikankari carries the subtle marks of the artisan’s hand. Close inspection will reveal tiny inconsistencies in stitching or spacing, which are natural signs of handwork and make each piece unique compared to machine embroidery.

Secrets on the Reverse - Turn the fabric over and you’ll see evidence of genuine handwork. Loose threads, small knots, and slight irregularities are all hallmarks of authentic Chikankari, while machine-made embroidery appears smooth and uniform on the back.

Soft Dimensional Stitches - Running your fingers over authentic Chikankari reveals a soft, slightly raised texture. The embroidery adds depth and character that flat, machine-made stitching cannot replicate.

Quality Threads - Artisans use natural cotton threads that are soft, slightly thick, and matte in appearance. These threads enhance the richness and elegance of the embroidery.

Feel the Material

Light and Airy Fabrics - Genuine Chikankari is embroidered on breathable fabrics such as cotton, silk, chiffon, georgette, or mulmul. These materials drape beautifully and complement the delicate embroidery.

Avoid Synthetics - Imitation pieces are often made from coarse or synthetic fabrics that feel stiff or heavy. Authentic Chikankari feels soft, comfortable, and flowing.

Appreciate the Craftsmanship

Time and Skill - Each authentic Chikankari piece takes hours or even days to complete. The careful handwork requires patience and precision, which reflects in the value and quality of the piece.

Price Reflects Authenticity - If an intricately embroidered piece is being sold at a very low price, it is likely machine-made. Genuine Chikankari deserves its cost because it represents traditional artistry.

Ensure Authenticity

Reputable Sources - Always purchase from trusted brands, artisan cooperatives, or verified sellers who provide information about the maker and the origin of the piece. Transparency ensures you are buying genuine Chikankari.

Certificates and GI Tags - Many authentic Chikankari products include certificates of authenticity or GI tags, confirming that the embroidery is handmade and preserves traditional techniques.

+

Yes, the chikankari co-ord sets on Zibaa are entirely handcrafted. From fabric selection to embroidering the motifs, each step is done meticulously by skilled artisans. No machines are used in the making which allows for finesse and delicacy unmatchable by machine work.

What are the different stitches used in making the co-ord set?

+

Some of the main stitches used in chikankari kurtas are: Jaali - delicate net-like fillings Bakhiya - Shadow work using the back stitch Murri - Dense fillings in geometric patterns Pashni - Small straight stitches used for outlines Pechni - Solid fillings worked in vertical, horizontal or diagonal rows

What fabric is used to make a chikankari co-ord set?

+

Traditionally, chikankari was done on soft and delicate muslin called tanzeb. Now, apart from muslin, voile, cotton, silk, chiffon and other fine fabrics are also used as base material. The fabric needs to be lightweight enough for the intricate needlework.

What colors are commonly used in chikankari embroidery?

+

White is the most traditional color used for chikankari because of its delicate aesthetic. However, pastel shades like yellow, pink, blue, green and mauve have also become popular. Contemporary pieces use brighter hues as well.

Is chikankari work done only by hand?

+

Yes, authentic chikankari relies completely on hand embroidery. The finesse, delicacy and attention to detail achieved by handwork is unmatchable. Machines are unable to recreate the nuances and artistry of hand embroidery. From start to finish, every process in chikankari is done manually.

How can I take care of my chikankari suit set?

+

Dry clean the set to preserve the fabrics and embroidery. Store covered in cloth bags away from moisture and harsh sunlight. Iron inside out on low heat by placing a cloth over the embroidered part. Avoid keeping in dusty places as embroidery can get soiled.

How should I wash my chikankari co-ord set?

+

It is best to dry-clean chikankari fabrics to preserve the delicate embroidery. If washing at home, hand wash gently in cold water using a mild detergent or soap. Do not wring, scrub, bleach or wash vigorously as it can damage the fabric and stitches.

Can I iron my chikankari suit set?

+

Yes, you can iron chikankari fabric on low heat by turning it inside out and placing a cloth over the embroidered side. Avoid direct contact with the hot iron on the embroidery. Iron gently applying minimum pressure to prevent crushing of embroidered motifs.

How to get rid of stains on my chikankari kurta?

+

Dab the stain gently with a clean cloth dipped in cold water or use a mildly diluted detergent. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the embroidered area aggressively. For tougher stains, take it to a professional cleaner.

What is the best way to store chikankari suits?

+

Store chikankari in cloth covers or bags away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. Keeping them boxed with naphthalene balls also works well. Make sure they are dry cleaned before storing.

How should I handle the embellishments on my chikankari ensemble?

+

Check for any loose or dangling embellishments before wearing. Avoid catching them on sharp objects or jewelry to prevent snagging and falling off. Dry clean only with all embellishments secured in place.

Can I use a sewing machine on my chikankari garment?

+

It is best to avoid sewing machines as the needle pressure can damage the delicate hand embroidery. All repairs and alterations should be done by hand to retain the artisanal work. Take help of a skilled tailor or embroiderer for any mending work required.

How can I make my chikankari last longer?

+

Follow care instructions and proper storage methods. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, dyes, and bleach. Protect from abrasion, pulls and snags during wear. Dry clean frequently to prevent soiling and discoloration.

What kind of dupatta styles can I try with my chikankari co-ord set?

+

You can drape the chikankari dupatta in many graceful styles like the simple shoulder drape, central drape, criss cross front drape, half saree style, Arabic style, etc.

What jewelry combinations will look good with a chikankari co-ord set?

+

Opt for delicate gold or polki jewelry like jhumkas, chandbalis, naths and kadas. Beautiful stone or pearl sets also complement the intricate chikankari work. For necklaces, wear simple gold chains or multi-layered long necklaces.

How can I style my chikankari co-ord set for a festive look?

+

Pair it with a rich silk or brocade skirt, cigarette pants or sharara. You can also try it with a contrasting dupatta. Statement earrings, gajra, kolhapuris and a potli bag lend a festive vibe. Play with hairdos like braids, buns or waves.

What footwear options go well with chikankari co-ord set?

+

Mojaris, khussas, kolhapuris, juttis and ethnic footwear like embellished heels, wedges or bellies complement chikankari ensembles. You can also wear strappy sandals, pencil heels, or block heels in neutral shades or pastels.

How can I style chikankari for a modern indie look?

+

Pair it with denim shorts, palazzos or harem pants. Try shrugs, cropped jackets or longline blazers on top. Wear brogues, loafers, or white sneakers below. Keep makeup natural and fuss-free.

What are some styling tips for petite body types?

+

Opt for calf or ankle length kurtas with churidar leggings or cigarette pants. Avoid long flared kurtas or voluminous silhouettes. Stick to minimal prints and embroidery.

Chikankari Co-Ord Sets: Elegance, Tradition, and Modern Style

Chikankari co-ord sets have become a symbol of timeless elegance, seamlessly blending the delicate artistry of Lucknow embroidery with contemporary fashion sensibilities. Once reserved for traditional kurtas, Chikankari has now transformed into versatile co-ord sets that women across India adore for their beauty, comfort, and cultural resonance. From casual brunches to festive gatherings, these sets have found a special place in the wardrobes of women who value craftsmanship and style.

Introduction to Chikankari Co-Ord Sets

Chikankari coord sets for women are more than just clothing—they represent a heritage art form meticulously preserved through generations. These sets usually consist of a top (kurti or crop top) and a matching bottom (palazzo, pants, or skirt), both adorned with intricate embroidery. The coordinated style offers a ready-to-wear ensemble that exudes sophistication while remaining effortless.

Women gravitate towards these sets for several reasons:

  • Aesthetic appeal: The intricate, delicate patterns of Chikankari add an elegant and refined touch.

  • Versatility: Chikankari co-ord sets can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

  • Cultural connection: Wearing Chikankari honors traditional Indian craftsmanship while staying modern.

The Artistry Behind Chikankari Embroidery

Chikankari, often called Lucknowi embroidery, is a centuries-old hand-embroidery technique that transforms plain fabric into a delicate tapestry of floral and geometric patterns. Its origins trace back to the Mughal era, when skilled artisans perfected this needlework as a form of courtly art.

The uniqueness of Chikankari lies in its intricate hand-stitched motifs, requiring precision, patience, and years of practice.

Some of the key stitches include:

Phanda

A small knot stitch resembling a millet grain, used for fine detailing.

Murri

Miniature knotting, adding texture and depth.

Bakhiya (Shadow Work)

Creates a soft, translucent effect on lightweight fabrics.

Jaali

Mesh-like openwork that brings an airy feel.

Tepchi

Running stitches used to fill patterns seamlessly.

The embroidery is traditionally done on muslin, cotton, silk, and georgette, each fabric adding a distinct feel and drape to the final co-ord set.

Why Chikankari Is Unique:

  • Each piece is handcrafted, ensuring no two co-ord sets are exactly alike.

  • The artistry requires not only skill but also an eye for symmetry and design balance.

  • Patterns are often inspired by nature, including flowers, leaves, and vines, as well as Mughal geometric motifs.

The Craftsmanship: Stitching a Chikankari Co-Ord Set

The process of stitching a Chikankari coord set is labor-intensive, demanding both time and expertise. While modern fashion trends may favor mass production, a true Chikankari co-ord set remains 100% hand-embroidered, which is why it carries a higher value and longevity.

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Design Conceptualization:
    Artisans sketch motifs inspired by Mughal architecture, florals, and contemporary geometric patterns. Each design is carefully scaled to fit the dimensions of the co-ord set.

  2. Fabric Preparation:
    The chosen fabric—muslin, silk, or cotton—is washed, dried, and pressed. This ensures smooth embroidery without puckering or distortion.

  3. Design Transfer:
    Using tracing techniques or washable ink, the motif is transferred onto the fabric. This step requires precision to ensure the embroidery follows the intended pattern accurately.

  4. Hand Embroidery:
    Skilled artisans use multiple stitches like Phanda, Murri, and Bakhiya, spending hours or even days on a single set. Each stitch is meticulously placed, maintaining uniform tension and symmetry.

  5. Assembly of the Co-Ord Set:
    Post-embroidery, the top and bottom are stitched together, incorporating seams, hems, and finishing touches.

  6. Finishing Touches:
    The garment is gently washed to remove markings, steamed for smoothness, and quality-checked for imperfections.

Difficulty Factor:

Step Skill Required Time Estimate per Set
Design Conceptualization High 2–3 hours
Fabric Preparation Medium 1 hour
Design Transfer Medium 1–2 hours
Hand Embroidery Very High 20–50 hours
Assembly & Finishing High 3–5 hours

 

As seen above, the hand embroidery stage alone can take several days, which highlights the craftsmanship required to create a Chikankari co-ord set. This complexity is why women value these garments so highly.

Longevity of Chikankari Co-Ord Sets vs Other Garments

One of the main reasons Chikankari co-ord sets are highly valued is their durability and timeless appeal. Unlike mass-produced kurtis or tops, a hand-embroidered Chikankari co-ord set can last decades if cared for properly, making it a worthwhile investment.

Why Chikankari Lasts Longer

  1. High-Quality Fabrics:
    Most co-ord sets use breathable, durable fabrics such as muslin, cotton, silk, or georgette. These fabrics are not only comfortable but also able to withstand repeated wear without losing shape or softness.

  2. Handcrafted Precision:
    The embroidery process involves consistent stitching, which reinforces the fabric and prevents fraying. Unlike machine embroidery, hand embroidery is less likely to unravel.

  3. Timeless Design:
    Chikankari motifs are classic and elegant, which means the garments never feel outdated. Women can wear these sets for festivals, weddings, or casual outings, keeping them relevant across seasons.

  4. Sustainable Fashion:
    Investing in a handcrafted Chikankari co-ord set supports slow fashion principles. According to a 2023 report by Ethical Fashion Forum, hand-embroidered garments last up to 5–7 times longer than mass-produced tops or kurtis, significantly reducing fashion waste.

Why Women Adore Chikankari Co-Ord Sets

Chikankari co-ord sets combine comfort, elegance, and cultural significance, making them a favorite among women across age groups. Here’s why:

Sophisticated Elegance

The intricate hand embroidery elevates the look of any wearer, making even a simple outfit look luxurious. For instance, a white Chikankari kurta paired with a matching palazzo exudes understated charm perfect for brunch or a casual office day.

Ease of Styling

Women love the convenience of co-ord sets. No need to mix and match—everything is perfectly coordinated. From a black Chikankari kurti for evening gatherings to a blue Chikankari kurti for daytime events, these sets are versatile and ready-to-wear.

Heritage and Craftsmanship

Wearing Chikankari is like wearing a piece of Indian history. Artisans dedicate 20–50 hours to stitch each set, making every garment a masterpiece. Women cherish these sets not just for style but also for the story behind each stitch.

Comfort

Made from breathable fabrics, Chikankari co-ord sets provide comfort during warm weather while maintaining a polished appearance. Chikanakri tops paired with matching bottoms are perfect for casual outings or semi-formal settings.

Investment in Quality

Unlike machine-made garments that lose shape or fade quickly, a Chikankari co-ord set maintains its color, texture, and embroidery quality over years, making it a long-term wardrobe staple.


 Choosing the Right Chikankari Co-Ord Set

  1. Fabric Selection: Choose cotton for everyday wear, silk for festive occasions, and georgette for a flowing elegant look.

  2. Embroidery Density: Light embroidery is ideal for casual settings; heavier embroidery suits formal occasions.

  3. Color Palette: Traditional whites and pastels work for office or daywear, whereas deep tones like navy or black are great for evening events.

  4. Matching Accessories: Pair Chikanakri embroidered kurtis with minimal jewelry to let the craftsmanship shine.

Popular Chikankari Variants in Co-Ord Sets

Type of Chikankari Typical Fabric Ideal Occasion Notes
White Chikankari Kurta Set Cotton/Muslin Daytime/Formal Classic, elegant, breathable
Black Chikankari Kurti Set Silk/Georgette Evening/Festive Dramatic and chic
Blue Chikankari Kurti Set Cotton Casual/Brunch Soft, calming, versatile
Chikanakri Embroidery Kurti Set Muslin/Silk Weddings/Events Detailed embroidery, luxurious
Chikanakri Tops with Bottoms Cotton/Georgette Casual/Semi-formal Comfortable and stylish

 

Styling Chikankari Co-Ord Sets for Every Occasion

Chikankari co-ord sets for women are versatile, allowing effortless transition between casual, semi-formal, and festive occasions. The styling possibilities are endless, but the key is to highlight the intricate embroidery without overpowering it.

1. Accessorizing Your Chikankari Co-Ord Set

Accessories play a critical role in elevating your look:

  1. Minimal Jewelry: Opt for delicate earrings or thin bangles so the embroidery remains the focus.

  2. Statement Footwear: Pair with traditional juttis for ethnic charm or strappy heels for modern flair.

  3. Handbags & Clutches: Neutral-toned clutches complement embroidered designs without clashing.

  4. Layering: Add a light shawl, dupatta, or shrug to create dimension, especially for cooler weather or formal gatherings.

Tip: For a black Chikankari kurti set, metallic gold accessories highlight the embroidery beautifully, while blue Chikankari kurti sets pair best with silver-toned accents.


2. Seasonal Styling

  • Spring/Summer: Lightweight muslin or cotton Chikankari co-ord sets keep you cool, especially in pastel shades.

  • Monsoon: Opt for georgette or silk blends that dry quickly and maintain embroidery integrity.

  • Festive/Winter: Richer fabrics like silk or silk-cotton blends with heavier embroidery work well, paired with matching shawls or stoles.

This flexibility is one reason why women increasingly prefer Chikankari co-ord sets over single kurtis or tops.


Caring for Your Chikankari Co-Ord Set

To preserve the beauty and longevity of handcrafted Chikankari:

Hand Wash Only

Avoid machine washing; use mild detergents to prevent fabric damage.

Dry in Shade

Direct sunlight may fade embroidery threads.

Iron Carefully

Use a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side.

Storage

Store folded in muslin cloth or breathable fabric bags to prevent snagging.

Spot Cleaning

Handle stains gently to maintain embroidery integrity.

Following these steps can extend the life of a Chikankari co-ord set for 10+ years, far longer than most machine-made tops or kurtis.

Modern Trends in Chikankari Co-Ord Sets

Fusion Wear: Designers are combining traditional Chikankari with western silhouettes like crop tops, skirts, and trousers.

  1. Pastel Hues: Soft colors are trending for casual outings and summer weddings.

  2. Bold Contrasts: Black and navy sets with metallic embroidery are increasingly popular for evening events.

  3. Sustainable Fashion: Women prefer handcrafted Chikankari co-ord sets over mass-produced clothing, supporting slow fashion and artisan communities.

Data Insight: According to the India Handloom Brand survey (2023), handcrafted Chikankari co-ord sets have seen a 35% increase in online sales over the last two years, driven by rising interest in ethnic fusion wear and Instagram fashion trends.


Choosing the Perfect Co-Ord Set

  1. Occasion Matching: Light embroidered cotton for casual wear, silk or georgette with dense embroidery for festive occasions.

  2. Body Type Consideration: Flowy palazzo sets flatter all body types; straight-cut kurtis work for formal looks.

  3. Color Psychology: White Chikankari kurta sets evoke simplicity and elegance; black sets give a bold, sophisticated vibe.

  4. Embroidery Placement: Choose top-heavy embroidery for shorter heights to balance proportions; full-set embroidery for taller frames creates a cohesive look.

  5. Accessorizing: Always complement the embroidery without overshadowing it—let the craftsmanship shine.
