What gives a more Indian Disney princess vibe than a Chikankari kurti? This form of embroidery which originated in Uttar Pradesh’s capital city Lucknow, features intricate and soft threaworks with white on cotton, muslin, or georgette fabrics. Similar to the city’s royal aura, this clothing style also radiates a regal look.
If you are fond of threadwork, here are some white Chikankari kurti designs to don this summer and look your best.
While the threadwork dates back to around the 16th century, Chikankari has gained popularity in the current era. The trend returned with low-priced georgette Chikankari kurtis both short and long, embellished with mirrors. These kurtis are worn over a spaghetti top, crop top, or innerwear to complete the look.

If you want to slay with a subtle and royal look at weddings and parties, get yourself an Anarkali Chikankari white suit set. Tpair the Anarkali with a pair of Chikankari palazzos or pants and make sure its gher is enough to make you look like a princess straight out of a fairy tale. Add a coloured dupatta with heavy embellishment to elevate your look.
