Arduous procedure of the delicate art<br />
The Chikan embroidery work requires considerable amount of hardship and craftsmanship to produce authentic pieces of art. This fine<br />
needle work is crafted on a variety of fabrics like muslin, chiffon, cotton and silk. White thread is embroidered on the refined designs on<br />
the sheer fabrics. At first the design patterns are engraved on the wooden blocks and then it is followed by printing these designs on the<br />
fabric. The printed fabric is then conveyed to the artisan who will do the fined stitching with the needle by keeping the piece stretched<br />
with a wooden frame. The stitching work has a huge variety and style. Taipchi, Pechni, Pashni, Khatao, Murri, Jangira, Gitti, Phanda and Jali,<br />
the traditional name of some style of stitching reciprocated the antiquity of its existence. Some get lost under the layer of time, some are<br />
still surviving. The meticulous process is then give finishing touches with washing, stiffening and ironing. Meeting to the present demand<br />
and fashion the Chikan work is not only done with colourful threads but also all kinds of trendy fabrics like silk, crepe, Tassar.<br />

fashion and trends.<br />
