Lucknowi Chikankari has been part of the culture for hundreds of years. That was wore by nawabs and slowly available by commoners, symbol of Awadhi Tehjib. Handicraft has always been the medium of thousands of Artisans livelihood who slowed in this fast fashion era. Due to a lack of a sustainable amount of work, artisans switch to domestic work or daily laborer jobs because they lack any other skill, also they do not want to teach their children that art due to a lack of scope of the work, undervalued labor, and underrecognized skill. To ensure the sustainability of artisans' livelihoods in Lucknow Safe Society Started working with the HCL Foundation to empower women economically and provide them a platform where they can feel secure in both term, social and economic stability. SHWET was founded in a country where women have the strongest temperament, willpower, and natural ability to nurture and the goal is to only grant them the gift of creative craftsmanship and blessing of being socioeconomically empowered in the society. Shwet is an idea that arose from our concerns for marginalized women in order to strengthen, empower, and mainstream them. A strong artisan community must be established to mitigate the challenge of an unorganized force of artisans.
Chikankari is a popular embroidery work done with the help of a white cotton thread on fine white cotton material. It is also known as shadow work. Chikan is an extremely delicate and artfully done hand embroidery on fabrics like muslin, silk, chiffon, organza, net, etc

For those of you using a 44-inch wide fabric, this guide suggests measurements for a standard L Size. Think of this as your starting point. If you're working with different sizes or fabric widths, just adjust up or down accordingly. Hope this helps!
When it comes to how much fabric you'll need, it really depends on the design. We'd recommend having a chat with your designer or tailor before you order, just to be on the safe side.
I'm really happy with my order!
nice cotton and the colors are beautifull.
fast delivery, even with the custum stop.
and I also received a very nice personally note in my packet
The fabric is so soft and pure cotton.The color is so beautiful as shown in the picture. Received an additional beutiful scrunchie as gift. Thanks for this. Will buy more fabric from itokri in future..
I ordered a number of clothing items and kolhapuri chappals. I am very happy with the quality of the items and the service provided by the team for the order was very professional. I will be going back to itokri for more purchases. Thank you.
I am not reluctant to recomment iTokri on the basis of my experience. My order was shipped very carefully to UAE and I did receive it in good condition. Personal care was taken by the people at iTokri and this is my second order and experience with iTokri.
I am glad.
Kurta must be 2 inches below the knee. Sleeves should not be too short or too long - the ideal length is just below or slightly below the wrist. Wear silk in winter and mulmul, cotton and cotton-silk in summer.
Get the kurta look by adding a modern twist of skinny jeans or chinos, white sneakers or leather sandals to matching bottoms and a watch. You can even remove sunglasses or wide-framed glasses with this look.
The first requirement is that you must know your body size. Have a professional tailor measure or do it yourself. Your job is half done in finding the right Kurti, once you have the magic numbers.
Get your favourite fabric sewn to this size or as every online store will provide a size chart for the dress, find your size and choose the best fit. But keep in mind that there is no universal size chart for Kurtis. This can vary between stores or even with the brand of the fabric. So make sure to choose the right one every time you search.
The short Kurtas can be used as a semi-casual shirt that doesn't need to be tucked in, making it perfect for pairing with jeans anytime, anywhere.
