Ocean Chikankari Georgette Anarkali Gown 56 Kali Turquoise

How does the white embroidery read on turquoise?

Turquoise-teal is a mid shade, so the white leaf butis stand out clearly without looking harsh. The gown looks fresh and bright, with the white threadwork giving it a crisp, clean pattern. Large paisleys at the hem add weight to the lower edge.

How are the butis laid out?

The leaf butis are scattered across the skirt, leaving plenty of turquoise showing between them. This keeps the body light. The heavier work is saved for the paisley hem and the striped yoke, so the design has a clear top, middle and bottom.

What length should I expect?

The gown is 49 to 50 inches long, with 19-inch sleeves. Measure from your shoulder downward to see where that length lands on you, and choose flats or heels to suit; a flared hem looks best just clearing the ankle or the floor.

Is the georgette sheer?

Georgette has a slight natural sheerness, which is why this gown comes with its own inner underneath. With the inner in place you have coverage, while the light georgette on top lets the white leaf butis and paisley hem show clearly.

How do I wash it?

Dry clean for best results. For a home wash, use a gentle handwash with mild detergent, wash it separately and dry it in the shade, away from direct sun, which can fade a bright turquoise. Do not wring or twist the embroidered skirt.

Should I add a dupatta?

It is optional, and none comes in the package. A white or silver-edged dupatta echoes the embroidery and keeps the look fresh; a deep teal one makes it more formal. Without a dupatta, the striped yoke and flared hem carry the outfit on their own.
