Chinkari Kurtis are one of my fav. Kurti types. I love the embroidery over the soft cotton cloth. Chinkati Kurti makes me feel comfortable, simple and elegant. I adore those flowery desings on these kurtis 😊
I just got one from this website though I had a couple of them from Pushkar or somewhere which I bought long ago. Sometimes the material is very delicate but the work done on it is lovely.
