Chikankari is an art everyone is mesmerized by. I love wearing chikankari kurtis in pastel shades. With Indian fashion becoming so popular and online shopping bringing the works of local artisans anywhere you want, I wanted to get some authentic chikankari kurtis online too. I came across this brand, House of Chikankari, in one of the episodes of Shark Tank and really liked their collections of Lucknow Kurtis, so I had to try it out. Here’s sharing my shopping experience with them in this detailed House of Chikankari review.
House of Chikankari Review – Shopping Mulmul Chikankari Kurta
Generally, you find Chikankari on cotton or georgette, but I was surprised to see the vast collection of Chikankari kurtis on The House of Chikankari. From cotton to Chanderi and velvet, they seem to have the delicate work of Chikankari in such a wide variety of fabrics.
I ordered for myself a Mulmul Chikankari Kurta because I love the soft Mulmul fabric – they are breathable, easy to carry, and extremely light. I ordered the Marwa Chikankari Mulmul Straight Kurta in a pastel blue shade. I have a personal bias towards pastel shades and chikankari.

Let’s go through the House of Chikankari review in detail and find out what the kurta actually was.
Fabric
The mulmul fabric of this chiknakari kurta is light and pretty soft. It is way softer than cotton. The kurta is lightweight and has a good silhouette.
Size & Fit
If you are buying from House of Chikankari, I advise you to go through their size chart because, as I noticed, there are no margins for alteration. It is better to buy the one that fits you well. The one I chose fits me perfectly.
I was a bit concerned about getting the right size, but the size chart provided on the website was accurate, and the Kurti fit me perfectly. I appreciate that they had detailed measurements to guide me in making the right choice.
Product Quality
The Marwa Chikankari Kurti I received exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail is remarkable. The intricate Chikankari embroidery work is stunning, and the fabric is comfortable and of high quality. It’s exactly as described on the website. There are work on the font, on the sleeves, and on the back too. It is a long kurta that can be paired with both leggings and palazzos. I have paired it here with Chikankari palazzos from my collection.

This Marwa Chikankari Kurta by House of Chikankari was worth Rs 2950/-
