Cotton Afghani White Chikankari Pant Free Size

What does the chikankari look like on these pants?

Tonal white floral sprigs are hand embroidered across the cotton, white thread on white fabric, so the work looks soft and subtle. At the ankle, open lace cuffs with tiny button closures add a delicate finishing detail that shows when you walk.

How do Afghani pants fit?

Afghani pants are loose through the body with a dropped crotch and a gathered waistband, which makes them roomy and easy to move in. This pair narrows towards the ankle, where the buttoned lace cuff keeps the hem neat.

What waist sizes does the free size fit?

The pant is free size with an elasticated waistband, designed to fit waists from 34 to 44 inches. Its length is 38 to 39 inches, and the cuffs gather the hem neatly at the ankle.

What tops go with them?

White chikankari pants pair well with almost any kurta or tunic. Try a block printed short kurta, a solid cotton kurti in a bold colour, or a simple top for a casual look. Pastels keep the outfit soft; deep colours make the white embroidery stand out.

How do I wash chikankari?

Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, and wash separately. Avoid long soaking and direct sunlight while drying. Iron on low heat, ideally on the reverse side, so the embroidery stays raised and the threads aren't flattened.

Where is chikankari from?

Chikankari comes from Lucknow, where artisans hand embroider fine floral motifs and paisleys, traditionally in white thread on light, breathable fabric. These pants follow that tradition with tonal white florals on cotton.
