The dress typically features a straight or A-line silhouette, which offers a relaxed and comfortable fit. Falling to or just above the knee, this short dress combines elegance with ease, making it perfect for both casual and semi-formal occasions.
The dress is usually made from lightweight cotton or georgette, both of which are ideal for showcasing Chikan embroidery. These fabrics are breathable, comfortable, and perfect for warm weather. Cotton provides a slightly more casual feel, while georgette offers a bit more flow and a dressier look.
The star of this dress is the Chikan embroidery, a traditional form of hand embroidery from Lucknow, India. The embroidery is typically done in white thread, creating intricate patterns such as floral motifs, vines, and geometric shapes. The delicate and detailed work often adorns the neckline, sleeves, and hemline, as well as the bodice and skirt. The white-on-white embroidery gives the dress an ethereal and timeless quality.
