When you buy a Chikankari kurti online, the biggest mistake is choosing a size based only on S, M, L or XL. Garment measurements and fabric construction matter more.
Measure a kurti you already own
Compare bust, waist, shoulder, sleeve and length measurements with the product's size chart. This is particularly important for international shoppers.
Consider the fit
Decide whether you prefer a relaxed, straight or more fitted silhouette. Leave enough ease for comfortable movement rather than choosing a size solely because the number looks familiar.
Check the fabric
Fabric affects drape, breathability and care. Cotton can be practical for warm weather, while other fabrics may offer a different fall or finish.
Understand the embroidery
Read whether the embroidery is hand worked, machine produced or a combination. Close-up images help you assess density and texture.
International ordering
Confirm shipping time, duties or taxes that may apply, care instructions and return conditions. If the kurti is for an event, order with sufficient time for delivery.
Quick buying checklist
Measurements + fabric + embroidery method + lining + care + shipping + returns should all be clear before checkout.
