Sarson Mustard Anarkali and Dupatta, Semi Stitched
Sarson is mustard in flower, and this semi stitched anarkali set wears the field's own colour in viscose georgette. Reeta hand embroidered it in Lucknow with phanda knots, bakhiya shadow work, chana patti leaves and keel kangan points, and true mukaish metal work sparkles alongside the thread. The dupatta completes it, your tailor fits it.

The stitches
- Phanda (knot)Tight millet-seed knots placed one by one to build jasmine buds and flower centres.
- Bakhiya (shadow work)Herringbone worked on the reverse of sheer cloth, so the motif glows through as a soft shadow, the signature of true Chikankari.
- Chana Patti (gram leaf)Gram-leaf trios scattered along creepers, small leaves in threes.
- Keel KanganKeel sets the pointed flower centre. Kangan rings it like a bangle around the motif.
Allied Lucknow work
Worked alongside the Chikankari, not part of it.
- Mukaish (metal sparkle)Flattened metal wire pierced through the cloth and twisted into points of sparkle, Lucknow’s badla work.
How to wear it
- Oxidised silver and a small bindi suit the deep mustard.
- Slim churidars underneath let the anarkali flare speak.
