Baby Pink Cotton Saree with Chikankari and blouse piece

Description

The name ‘Chikan’ comes from the Persian word ‘Chakin’ or ‘Chikeen’ meaning a cloth full of needlework. Chikan started as a white-on-white (or whitework) embroidery. White thread is embroidered on pastel shades of light muslin and cotton garments. Murri refers to knots that are in the shape of rice grains. These are sometimes made using thicker thread so as to get proper knots. This baby pink cotton saree has murri work flowers embroidered all over with a few larger butas on the pallu. Comes with a running plain blouse piece.
