Process of making a Yellow Chikankari Kurti
The most common fabrics used to make yellow Chikankari kurti are cotton, georgette, chiffon, silk and modal. Cotton is a popular choice for its breathability while fabrics like georgette and chiffon add a lovely flow and femininity. Silk yellow Chikankari kurtis make for luxurious formalwear.
Some of the popular embroidery styles and stitches seen on a yellow chikan kurti are Shadow work or bakhiya, Jaali work which is an open net style stitch, Chain stitch patterns, Phanda embroidery with knotted threads, Zardozi and zari work and geometric patterns are also commonly seen.
Authentic Lucknawi Chikankari work on a yellow Chikankari kurta will have delicate floral motifs, vine or foliage designs with no traced outlines. It will use white thread on the yellow base. The embroidery will have a neat and consistent density.
Necklines like boat neck, round neck, V neck and mandarin collar necks are popular picks for yellow Chikankari kurtis.
Common prints paired with yellow Chikankari kurta embroidery are digital prints of floral vines, leaves, geometric aztec prints and animal prints. Embellishments like dabka, sequins, mirrors or thread work are sparingly used.
For petite body types, shorter kurti lengths like above knee or mid-thigh lengths work very well for yellow Chikankari kurtis. High-low hemlines that are shorter in the front and longer at the back also suit petite frames.
It is best to hand wash your yellow cotton Chikankari kurti in cold water using a mild detergent or fabric wash. Do not wring or rub the fabric, just gently squeeze out water and roll in a towel to remove excess moisture. Lay flat in shade to dry. Iron inside out on a medium heat setting.

To prevent yellowing of the georgette fabric in your Chikankari kurti, store it by folding loosely rather than hanging for long periods. Keep in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight.
Clip off the pulled loose threads with small scissors. Apply a tiny drop of fabric glue on the wrong side and smooth down the area with your fingers. Let it dry before wearing the kurti again.

Iron the kurta inside out with the wrong side facing up. Use a medium heat setting and iron gently over a cloth piece to avoid direct contact. Do not vigorously rub or press the embroidered areas.
For most stains, gently dab the spot with a mild detergent solution first and rinse with cold water. For tougher grease, apply dish soap and wash immediately. Always test stain removers on an inconspicuous area first before using on visible areas.
