Shikanji is the lemon drink.

The stitches
- Tepchi (running)The swift running stitch laid along the printed motif, the ground on which every other stitch is built.
- Keel KanganKeel sets the pointed flower centre. Kangan rings it like a bangle around the motif.
How to wear it
- A bangle or a watch sits on bare arm rather than under a cuff, because three quarter sleeves stop above the wrist.
- Hip length falls just past a trouser waistband, so the shirt reads finished worn over one and needs no tuck to hold its line.
- Silver reads clearly as metal against lemon yellow, where gold sits close enough to the colour to blur into it.
