How to Check the Authenticity of a Chikankari Kurti Set Before You Buy
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is included in a Chikankari kurta set?
A Chikankari kurta set usually includes a kurta, matching bottoms (palazzo, straight pants, or churidar), and a dupatta. The embroidery and colour palette are designed to coordinate across all pieces, giving a complete, ready-to-wear ethnic outfit.
How does a kurta set differ from a single kurta or suit?
A kurta set is sold as a coordinated multiple-piece outfit, while a single kurta is standalone and a suit often comes with heavier embroidery or a more formal dupatta. Sets focus on convenience and balance, offering a complete styled look.
Is the Chikankari kurta set available on Zibaa entirely hand made?
Yes, each kurta set on Zibaa is fully handmade. From choosing the fabric to stitching the final piece, skilled artisans handle every step with care and precision.
Which fabrics are best for everyday Chikankari kurta sets?
Breathable cotton, mulmul, and soft rayon are ideal for daily wear as they are light, comfortable, and allow the embroidery to sit naturally. For a dressier look, georgette or silk blends add elegance but may need careful handling.
How can I tell if a Chikankari kurta set is hand-embroidered or machine-made?
Hand-embroidered sets show slight irregularities in stitch length, subtle knots at the back, and intricate detailing. Machine-made sets are uniform and precise. Trusted brands usually specify the stitch type in product descriptions.
How is embroidery placement different in kurta sets compared to single kurtas?
In sets, embroidery is distributed across the kurta, dupatta, and sometimes the bottoms for cohesive design. This ensures balanced aesthetics — for example, a heavily embroidered neckline might be offset by subtle borders on the dupatta.
What’s the right way to wash delicate embroidered kurta set?
It's best to hand wash chikankari garments gently in cold water using a mild detergent or soap. Do not scrub the embroidered fabric and handle with care while washing as the embroidery is delicate.
Can I machine wash the chikankari kurta set?
It's not recommended to machine wash chikankari kurtas as the embroidery may get damaged. The delicate threads and stitches can come loose or get torn in the washing machine. Always hand wash to keep the chikankari work intact.
What is the process of drying the garment after washing it?
After washing, rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water. Lay the garment on a flat surface away from direct sunlight. Let it air dry completely. Avoid hanging chikankari kurtas as the weight may stretch out the embroidery.
What is the correct way to iron an embroidered garment?
Iron the kurta set inside out on the reverse side so the heat doesn't directly touch the embroidered fabric. Use a medium-hot iron and place a cloth over the embroidered part while ironing the kurta.
What’s the best way to store a chikankari kurta set?
Fold the kurta set neatly and store in breathable fabric. Keep in cool, dry place away from moisture, heat and dust. Store one piece over another to prevent creasing the embroidery. Avoid tight packing and do not place heavy objects over it.
How often should chikankari garments be dry cleaned?
Dry cleaning is not required too often. Get it dry cleaned only 2-3 times a year to remove stains or dirt that cannot be hand washed. Look for a reputable dry cleaner who can handle delicate fabrics well.
How can I make the chikankari embroidery last longer?
Avoid rubbing, scrubbing or bleaching the fabric. Be gentle while washing, drying and storing. Use a padded hanger to avoid stretching the embroidery. Get small holes or loose threads repaired promptly.
What type of dupatta pairs well with a hand-embroidered outfit?
You can wear chikankari dupattas that match the kurta for a coordinated look. Flowy, translucent chiffon or georgette dupattas with similar embroidery look graceful.
What bottom-wear options go well with a chikankari kurta?
You can team chikankari kurtas with pants, palazzos, leggings, churidars, dhoti pants, sharara, straight pants or skirts. Solid colors like white, beige, black, blue complement the intricate kurta.
What accessories go best with the embroidered outfit?
Opt for delicate oxidized jewellery like jhumkas, chandbalis, thin bangles and kolhapuri slippers. Potlis, embroidered mojaris and embellished juttis make great footwear choices.
What should I wear with a chikankari kurta set for a festive look?
You can pair chikankari kurtas with silk bottoms, gota patti dupattas and traditional jewellery for festive occasions.
