Q1: What is special about the fabric used in this coral chikankari kurti?
A1: The fabric is a high-grade rayon known for its soft texture and luxurious fall. Unlike stiff or synthetic materials, rayon drapes beautifully and allows your skin to breathe. It's a perfect choice for both casual daily wear and warm festive days because it combines comfort with elegance.
Q2: Is the embroidery machine-made or hand-done? What makes chikankari valuable?
A2: This kurti features hand-done chikankari embroidery, a heritage craft from Lucknow that involves delicate threadwork done manually by artisans. The process is time-intensive and each piece is unique. This authenticity not only makes the garment culturally significant but also adds artisanal value and elegance.
Q3: What kind of silhouette does this kurti offer? Will it suit my body type?
A3: The kurti features an A-line silhouette that is gently gathered under the bust, creating a soft flare toward the hem. This universally flattering cut suits all body types, as it provides shape without being restrictive. Whether you're petite or curvy, the cut complements your natural structure.
Q4: Can I wear this kurti for special occasions, or is it only casual?
A4: The beauty of the Aardhya Coral Kurti is its versatility. While the clean embroidery and breathable fabric make it ideal for everyday wear, its rich coral hue and intricate hand embroidery elevate it enough for small festive gatherings, pujas, lunches, and ethnic office wear.
Q5: How do I care for this hand-embroidered rayon garment to ensure it lasts?
A5: To maintain its beauty, we recommend dry cleaning or gentle hand wash in cold water. Avoid scrubbing or machine washing, as that may damage the embroidery and rayon fibers. Always dry it in shade to preserve the color and threadwork.
Q6: Is the embroidery itchy or heavy on the skin?

Q7: What can I pair this coral kurti with for different looks?
A7: For a casual day out, pair it with white palazzos or straight pants and minimal jewelry. For festive occasions, add statement earrings, embroidered juttis, and a soft chiffon dupatta.
