Chickankari Lucknowi Straight Kurti

Washing Instructions for a Lucknow Chikankari Georgette kurti:

1. Hand Wash Only: Gently hand wash the kurti in cold water. Avoid using a washing machine as it can damage the delicate embroidery and fabric.
2. Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent or soap. Harsh chemicals can ruin the intricate Chikankari work.
3. Do Not Bleach: Avoid using bleach or any other strong chemicals.
4. Gentle Handling: Gently rub the fabric with your hands, especially on the embroidered areas.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure that all detergent is completely rinsed out to prevent any residue.
6. Do Not Wring: Avoid wringing the kurti. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water.
7. Dry in Shade: Dry the kurti in the shade to prevent the colours from fading. Hang it on a hanger to maintain its shape.
8. Iron on Low Heat: If ironing is needed, do so on low heat and preferably on the reverse side of the fabric to avoid damaging the embroidery.

Following these steps will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your Lucknow Chikankari Georgette kurti.
