Gilded White Peony – Jacquard Chanderi Chikankari & Pearl Tunic Set

Luminous, ethereal, and whispering quiet royalty, the Gilded White Peony ensemble is a masterwork of layered artisanal textiles. Woven from whisper-soft Jacquard Mal Chanderi, the pristine ivory canvas is textured with fine woven patterns and illuminated by floating golden zari floral medallions. Cascading across the split neckline and yoke is a garden of handcrafted Lucknowi Chikankari needlework, intricately contoured with tone-on-tone stitches and meticulously hand-sewn with iridescent seed pearls.

Presented as an unstitched two-piece textile cut—comprising generous fabric for a custom-tailored tunic and an ethereal coordinating draped scarf bordered with fine gold zari and Chikankari sprigs—this creation catches the light with subtle, majestic grace[cite: 22]. Designed for celebratory morning weddings, festive galas, and twilight cocktail receptions.

Craftsmanship & Technique

• Textile Art: Luxurious Jacquard Mal Chanderi weave featuring woven jacquard textures and shimmering golden zari bootas (floral medallions) woven directly into the fabric[cite: 22].
• Color Palette: Pristine Soft White / Ivory foundation, illuminated by Warm Champagne Gold zari and lustrous White pearls[cite: 22].
• Ensemble Inclusions (2-Piece Set):
  • 1 x Unstitched Tunic / Kurta Fabric (~2.5 m / 2.73 yd)[cite: 22]
  • 1 x Coordinating Draped Scarf / Dupatta with zari borders & delicate floral embroidery (~2.4 m / 2.62 yd)[cite: 22]
• Base Fabric: Premium Jacquard Mal Chanderi (silk-cotton blend)—featherlight, wonderfully breathable, and boasting a rich, subtle sheen with an effortless drape[cite: 22].

The Bespoke Atelier Fit

Offered in an unstitched format to provide complete tailoring freedom. The ornate floral yoke and spaced gold medallions adapt naturally to sleek straight-cut tunics, flowing flared silhouettes, or contemporary royal longline cuts up to US 18 / UK 22 / 3XL.

Artisan Signature & Care

Each motif, zari weave, and pearl contour is hand-finished by master craftswomen in Lucknow[cite: 22]. Subtle nuances in thread relief and pearl spacing are authentic hallmarks of genuine slow-crafted luxury.

Care Ritual: Professional dry clean recommended to protect the fine Jacquard Chanderi weave, metallic zari yarns, and hand-stitched seed pearls[cite: 22]. Store wrapped in acid-free tissue or soft muslin. Warm iron on reverse side over a protective pressing cloth; avoid direct heat or steam on pearl areas.
