A graceful blend of traditional Lucknowi craftsmanship and an easy contemporary silhouette, this Dusty Mauve Lucknowi Chikankari Flared Frock Dress is beautifully adorned with intricate Ambi, floral jaal and buti handwork in contrasting ivory-white thread.
The dress features a richly embroidered upper yoke with an intricate lattice-style floral jaal, creating a beautiful textured appearance around the neckline and bodice. A broad handcrafted embroidered panel defines the empire waist, while a delicate adjustable tie-up detail with tassels adds shape and a feminine finish.
Below the yoke, the dress falls into a soft, flowing A-line flare embellished with evenly spaced floral and leafy Chikankari butis. Towards the hem, the embroidery becomes significantly richer with statement Ambi/paisley motifsarranged above a dense floral vine border, creating an ornate finish without making the dress appear overly heavy.
The same detailed Chikankari craftsmanship continues across the back, making the outfit beautifully finished from every angle.

Craft Highlight
The highlight of this dress is its beautifully executed Ambi Chikankari border. Large traditional paisley motifs rise from an intricately embroidered floral jaal at the hem, giving the dress a statement handcrafted finish.
The densely worked yoke showcases repeated leaf-shaped motifs arranged in an elegant jaal pattern, while smaller floral and leafy butis are scattered across the flare. This gradual transition from intricate yoke embroidery to delicate butis and finally a richly worked hem creates a beautifully balanced design.
The white-on-dusty-mauve embroidery gives the traditional craft a fresh, sophisticated and modern character.
