Why Buy Chikankari Anarkali Kurta?

Our chikankari anarkali kurta set for women who like things that are made with care, who want to look good without thinking about it much and who would rather have a few really nice things than a lot of things that they will forget about.

The anarkali silhouette comes from the Mughal courts. It fits closely around the body and then flares out from the waist or chest, making a shape that looks really nice and feminine on different women. The anarkali gives you the freedom to move around easily. The top part is fitted which gives it a structure.

When you buy anarkali kurta set from Eksutram you get the kurta, a bottom that matches or goes well with it and a dupatta. You are not just buying a kurta, you are getting an outfit that is well thought out and works well together from the start.

If you have been trying to mix and match pieces of clothing that never really look like they go together then an anarkali kurta set for women is a much easier and smarter choice. The anarkali kurta set for women is an option because it includes everything you need to look nice and put together.

Best Fabrics of Anarkali Kurta Set

A pure cotton anarkali kurta set is the answer to this problem. Cotton is great because it lets air in, it takes in moisture, it keeps air moving. It does not stick to your skin. You can wear it for six hours straight. It will still feel like you just put it on.

Here is what makes our cotton collection special:

Pure Cotton - The fabric stays really soft, airy and breathable even in the hottest months in India. We get cotton that has been treated before we use it so it does not get stiff or rough after you wash it; it just gets softer.

Chikankari Embroidery - It looks great with cotton and it is really comfortable to wear every day. The best part is you do not have to give up how good it looks to be comfortable. Every stitch is done by hand on cotton that has been washed and smoothed out before the embroidery is done.

This cotton gets better every time you wash it. It does not lose its color or shape. Because the fabric is washed before we use it, it does not shrink much. If you are buying your first chikankari piece, a cotton anarkali kurta set is the right place to start.

Why is White Anarkali Kurta Always in Trend?

If you ask a hundred women what kurta they like to wear the most they will all say white. The white anarkali kurta is special because it looks good in a way that other colours do not.

The reason for this is that the white colour is clean and simple which makes the chikankari embroidery on the kurta stand out. You can see every stitch on the kurta and every motif is easy to see. The traditional way of doing chikankari is to use thread on white fabric, which creates a nice and quiet embroidery that looks elegant.

At Eksutram we have a collection of white anarkali kurtas that are made with quality fabric. Our anarkali kurta collection stays bright even after you wash it many times.

Different Types of Anarkali Kurta Design

When people talk about Anarkali kurta design they usually mean two things: the embroidery design and the silhouette design.

Minimal Embroidery Designs for everyday wear that always look polished and nice without any extra effort. Motifs, small floral clusters and delicate border work provide just enough detail to look elegant.

All-Over Chikankari Coverage for occasions that truly deserve a genuine and beautiful statement look. We do embroidery across the full Anarkali kurta with layered motifs for weddings, receptions and celebrations.

Neckline Options including round, V-neck, sweetheart and collared styles to suit every personal preference. Because the right neckline changes how an entire outfit feels on your body and your face when you wear Anarkali kurtas.

How to Style Anarkali Kurta Set?

A good anarkali kurta for women is not something you wear once. Here is how you can wear a kurta in different situations:

You can wear an anarkali kurta every day with minimal accessories. Just wear a cotton anarkali kurta set in white, pale yellow or mint. Add some sandals or kolhapuris and one small pair of earrings. That is it.

When it is a festival or puja you want to look festive and beautiful. Wear a kurta in deeper colours like sage green, powder blue or dusty rose. Add some block heels, bangles and a draped dupatta. This way you will look great without overdoing it.

If you are going to a wedding you want to look elegant and comfortable. An over chikankari anarkali kurta set for women in ivory or pastel is a great option. It is an alternative to a full lehenga and it is more comfortable for a long day. You can wear a kurta like this again later.

You can also wear a kurta to the office or to a semi-formal event. Just wear an anarkali kurta in a neutral tone with minimal embroidery. Add some trousers and a neatly tucked dupatta.

This way you will look professional without looking too formal. An anarkali kurta is an option for women who want to look good and feel comfortable.

How To Wash Your Chikankari Anarkali Kurta Set?

To take care of Chikankari you should wash it by hand in water with a mild detergent. This will protect the embroidery threads of the Chikankari completely.

Using water is good for the suit because it keeps the thread colour of the Chikankari intact and prevents any distortion in the embroidery pattern of the Chikankari.

When you wash the suit press out the water gently. Then you should always hang the Chikankari in the shade. Do not wring the fabric of it because wringing can stretch and distort both the fabric and the stitched areas around the embroidery of the Chikankari.

To iron the Chikankari kurta you should iron it inside out on low heat. This will protect the raised stitch work of it. Place the embroidered side of it face down on a towel. Never iron directly over the phanda or murri work of the suit.

When you are not wearing it you should fold it. Store it flat. Do not hang it because hanging for a long term can stretch the fabric at the shoulders and pull the flare out of shape.

If you have an anarkali kurta with Chikankari you should rinse it immediately after every wash. This will keep the fabric bright. Avoid soaking the Chikankari for a long time. A quick wash and fast rinse is all the Chikankari needs to stay crisp and white.

What Makes Eksutram Different From Other Chikankari Brands?

There are lots of places that sell chikankari anarkali kurta sets. Many of these places are selling fake ones with prints that look like it or they use machines to make the embroidery. Some places even make a lot of these garments and call them chikankari even though they are not really made with the traditional chikankari craft. We believe it is important to be truthful about this.

If you want a real anarkali kurta set that is made well, feels good to wear and will last for a long time then you have come to the right place to find a genuine chikankari anarkali kurta set.
