Brown Dobby Cotton Chikankari Kurta

This brown dobby cotton chikankari kurta is a work-ready straight kurta for women who want a graceful, polished look through a full workday: at the desk, in the classroom, on clinic days and at workplace celebrations.

What makes this kurta work-ready

It is made from premium dobby cotton (cotton with a fine woven texture) and finished with hand chikankari, the traditional Lucknowi (Lakhnavi) hand embroidery, worked in brown thread on brown fabric. Because the embroidery is tonal, the kurta looks refined rather than heavy. It moves easily from a regular office day to an office celebration.

Fit and sizing

This kurta is true to size, with a comfortable, easy fit. It is not snug and not oversized, so you can move freely through long workdays. Measure your bust, waist and hips over light clothing, and choose your size by the bust measurement. If you fall between two sizes, choose the larger size for a more comfortable workwear fit.

How to style it for work

Monochrome look

Pair it with brown pants in the same shade for a clean, tonal look on important workdays.

Contrast look

Pair it with white or cream pants for a crisp everyday office look.

Relaxed look

Wear it with jeans for casual Fridays and after-work plans.

Keep jewellery simple: pearl or silver studs work well. The kurta is the statement piece, so let the pants play a supporting role. Straight pants suit this silhouette best; we don't recommend wide-leg palazzos or skirts with it. For all-day comfort, lycra pants are a good choice.

Where to wear it

Everyday office days, teaching days, clinic days, parent-teacher meetings, Teachers' Day, Annual Day, Diwali at the office and other workplace celebrations.

Care instructions

• Hand wash only, separately, in cold water. Chikankari is delicate hand embroidery.
• Turn the kurta inside out while washing and drying to protect the colour and embroidery.
• Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.
• Dry away from direct sunlight.
• Do not spray perfume directly on the chikankari.
• For sweat marks, gently rinse the underarms with liquid soap and cold water before a full wash. Never iron over a stain.
• Cotton chikankari in deeper shades like brown can bleed a little, so always wash it separately.
