The Rayon Kurta Pant Set You'll Wear All Summer — Now in Yellow, Pink & Powder Blue
24 Jul 2026 · Everything In Chikankari
But before we get into the colours, let's talk about the fabric — because that's where this set earns its place in your wardrobe.
Why Rayon? And Why It Works Especially Well for Kurta Sets
Rayon is one of the most breathable, drape-friendly fabrics available for Indian ethnic wear. It's lightweight without being sheer, it flows with your movement, and it doesn't cling in the heat. For a kurta pant set meant to be worn through Indian summers — whether you're at a family lunch, a casual office day, or a weekend outing — rayon is the sensible, stylish choice.
It also takes embroidery beautifully. The soft, smooth weave is the ideal base for chikankari — the delicate hand embroidery from Lucknow that defines everything we make.
What Makes This Kurta Pant Set Different
This isn't a printed piece or a machine-embroidered set you'll find on every e-commerce platform. Each piece in this set is hand-embroidered by skilled artisans in Lucknow using traditional chikankari techniques passed down over generations.
Here's what you're getting:
The Kurta A sleeveless silhouette with a clean neckline, comfortable fit, and chikankari embroidery worked directly onto the rayon fabric by hand. The sleeveless cut makes it ideal for warm weather without looking underdressed — the embroidery does the visual work.
The Pant Designed to pair seamlessly with the kurta. The fabric, fit, and finishing are cohesive — this is a proper coordinated set, not two pieces thrown together.
The Embroidery Chikankari is not surface-level decoration. It's a 400-year-old craft. The stitches — worked in thread on fabric, stitch by stitch — create texture, shadow, and depth that no machine can replicate. When you hold the kurta up to light, you'll see what we mean.
The Colours — And What Each One Works For
We've launched this set in three colours, and each one is distinct in mood and wearability.
Sunshine Yellow
Yellow is one of the most underused colours in ethnic wear, and that's a mistake. A well-chosen yellow — not neon, not mustard, but a warm, clean sunshine tone — reads as festive, confident, and culturally rooted all at once. This colour works for:
- Haldi and mehendi functions
- Daytime festive gatherings
- Summer casual outings
- Women who want to stand out without going heavily embellished
Pair it with minimal gold jewellery and kolhapuris. Let the colour speak.
Blush Pink
Pink in ethnic wear is perennial for a reason — it flatters a wide range of skin tones and photographs beautifully. Our blush pink is soft without being washed out, making it versatile enough for:
- Office wear (especially in creative or cultural industries)
- Casual brunches and lunches
- Gift-giving (this set is a consistently popular gifting choice)
- Day-to-evening dressing
The chikankari embroidery in white or tonal thread on blush pink is one of the most classically beautiful combinations in this craft's history.
Powder Blue
This is the quiet favourite. Powder blue has been a runaway trend in Indian ethnic fashion for the past two seasons, and it's not going anywhere. The colour feels calm, elevated, and modern — while still being deeply rooted in the aesthetic of traditional Indian weaves and embroideries.
- Work from office days
- Casual festive occasions
- Travel (it photographs well outdoors)
- Women who prefer their ethnic wear understated and intentional
Chikankari on Rayon: A Note on Craft
A question we get often: does chikankari work on rayon, or is it only for cotton and muslin?
It works beautifully. In fact, rayon's soft drape adds movement to the embroidery — the fabric falls in a way that highlights the texture and depth of the stitches. Traditional chikankari is worked on muslin and mulmul, yes, but the craft has always evolved with its materials. Rayon chikankari gives you the lightness and everyday wearability of the fabric combined with the artisanal quality of hand embroidery.
What doesn't change: the embroidery is still done entirely by hand, by trained artisans, in Lucknow — exactly as it has been since the craft was formalized under Nawabi patronage in the 18th century.
How to Style This Set
Keep it simple. The strength of a well-embroidered chikankari set is that it doesn't need much else.
- Footwear: Block heels, kolhapuris, or strappy flats. Avoid heavy embellished footwear — it competes with the embroidery.
- Jewellery: Choose one focal point. Either earrings or a necklace — not both. Oxidised silver works well with all three colours. Gold works with yellow and pink. Pearl studs with powder blue.
- Dupatta: This set is complete without one, but if you want to add a dupatta, choose a sheer organza or plain mulmul in a tonal colour. Avoid heavily printed dupattas.
- Bag: A potli or small clutch in a complementary colour. This is a summer look — keep the bag small and light.
Sizing
Available in XS to 3XL. We recommend referring to the size chart on the product page before ordering, as rayon has minimal stretch. If you're between sizes, size up for a more relaxed, traditional silhouette.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this kurta pant set be machine washed? Hand wash recommended in cold water with a gentle detergent. Do not wring. Lay flat or hang dry in shade. Rayon loses shape when treated roughly, and hand washing protects the chikankari embroidery.
Is this set suitable for plus sizes? Yes. This set is available up to 3XL. We design with real body proportions in mind — the silhouette is tested across sizes before we launch any new style.
Does the set come with a dupatta? No, the set includes the kurta and pant. A dupatta can be styled with it, but it's designed to stand alone.
How long does delivery take? We ship pan-India with prepaid delivery. Estimated delivery is 5–7 business days after dispatch.
Can I get this in a different colour? Colour customisation is available and requires 3–4 weeks from order date due to the hand dyeing process involved before embroidery.
Why Buy From Everything In Chikankari
We are not a mass-produced label. Every piece we sell is handcrafted in Lucknow, the city where chikankari originated. Our brand was founded by Mrs. Gunwanti Chhablani, and every collection we release carries the weight of that heritage.
When you buy from us, you're buying something made by hand, by an artisan who has spent years learning this craft. You're buying slow fashion — not because it's a trend, but because that's simply how chikankari works.
We ship pan-India. We offer sizes XS to 6XL across our range. And we stand behind the quality of every piece we send.
