Chikankari Solid Women's Short Kurta with Frill
About this Saree
About the Solid Frill Kurta
Chikankari has always been about lightness — light fabric, light thread, light touch. The embroidery sits on the cloth without weight, the motifs open out without crowding, and the whole effect is one of delicacy and ease that no other embroidery tradition quite replicates. The Solid Frill Kurta takes that lightness and gives it a modern shape — a short silhouette with a frill at the hem that moves the way only genuine Rayon Chikankari can move, softly and freely, with the kind of effortless grace that makes a simple kurta feel like a considered choice. This is Chikankari for the woman who loves the tradition but also loves how she lives today — active, expressive, and not interested in wearing something that feels like it belongs only to a specific occasion.
On premium Rayon, the short frill silhouette of this kurta comes fully alive. The fabric is fluid enough to give the frill its proper movement — it does not sit stiffly or bunch awkwardly but falls in soft layers that shift with every step. The Chikankari handwork on the yoke and chest is worked with the same precision and care as any longer, more formal piece in the Ekaasam collection — hand embroidered, motif by motif, by artisans in Lucknow who bring the same skill to every piece regardless of its silhouette. The solid ground of the Rayon lets the white-on-white Chikankari embroidery speak clearly — visible in texture and shadow rather than colour, subtle until the light catches it, and then completely beautiful. Pair it with jeans, palazzos, leggings, or a skirt. Wear it to a college function, a family lunch, a festive gathering, or simply on a day when you want to feel quietly lovely without trying too hard.

Chikankari Solid Women's Short Kurta with Frill — About This Weave
The Banarasi Organza Saree represents one of the lightest and most ethereal forms of Banarasi weaving. Organza — a sheer, tightly woven fabric — takes on a new dimension when worked with traditional Banarasi gold zari techniques on a pit loom. The result is a saree that is simultaneously delicate and opulent.
The Aqua Mist colourway is achieved through natural yarn dyeing before weaving — meaning the colour is embedded into the silk threads themselves, not printed or dyed on the surface. This gives the saree its characteristic depth and sheen, and ensures the colour retains its vibrancy through careful washing and storage.
At Ekaasam, every Organza Banarasi Saree is sourced directly from weaver families in Varanasi, cutting out middlemen and ensuring fair wages for artisans. When you purchase from Ekaasam, you directly support the preservation of a 500-year-old weaving tradition.
