Plus Size Chikankari Kurtas: Made to Flatter, Designed to Empower
Every woman deserves to wear clothes that celebrate who she is not just in size but in spirit. The plus size kurtas at House of Chikankari are thoughtfully designed to blend heritage craft with contemporary silhouettes that honour your shape, comfort, and confidence.
Each Chikankari kurta is hand-embroidered by skilled artisans using age-old techniques. What you get is not mass-produced fashion but wearable art, tailored with inclusive sizing that actually fits no pinching, no adjusting, no second thoughts.
The Plus Side of Thoughtful Design
No one should have to compromise on style for the sake of size. That’s why every plus size Chikankari kurta from our collection is created with a sharp focus on cut, fabric, and drape.
Comfort That Moves With You
Pure cotton, modal, and lightweight georgette form the base of most of our plus size kurtas. These fabrics are breathable, flexible, and ideal for Indian weather across seasons.
Flattering Fits That Flow, Not Cling
We work with tailoring that respects the body's natural curves. A-line cuts, side slits, and high-low hems ensure easy movement while visually elongating the frame.
From 2XL to 4XL
Sizing shouldn’t be limited, and neither should your choices. Our kurtas span an inclusive size chart that starts from XS and extends up to 4XL, with consistent quality and aesthetic across sizes.
Real Women, Real Bodies
Designs are tested on a wide range of body shapes, not just scaled-up versions of a single sample size. Every silhouette is adjusted to fall right, feel right, and look right, no matter the number on the label.
Why Chikankari Is a Perfect Fit for Plus Size Fashion
The art of Chikankari embroidery is known for its subtlety. Light, airy threadwork glides over the fabric rather than weighing it down. That’s why it blends so well with silhouettes that need grace and movement.
Minimalism That Makes a Statement
Unlike heavy embellishments or stiff embroidery, Chikankari kurtas offer a clean, breathable canvas that’s delicate yet detailed. Ideal for those who want a look that’s quietly confident.
Craft That’s Lightweight and Elegant
Even the most intricate hand embroidery is feather-light. The result? Kurtas that stay easy on the skin, especially in plus sizes where comfort takes precedence.
Versatile Enough for Work, Weekends, and Weddings
Whether it’s a pastel cotton kurta for morning meetings or a deeper-toned piece with sequins for an evening celebration, you’ll find options that feel just right for your calendar and your comfort zone.
Style Cues for Plus Size Chikankari Kurtas
Getting dressed should feel exciting, not frustrating. These tips make styling your plus size kurtas easier and more joyful.
Balance with Bottoms
Pair your kurta with well-fitted cigarette pants or wide-legged palazzos depending on your preference. Avoid overly clingy leggings that may not balance the flow of the kurta.
Dupattas That Complement
A light dupatta in sheer fabrics like chiffon or mulmul adds a touch of softness. Look for ones with minimal border work to keep it easy to carry.
Layering with Ease
In cooler months, a longline shrug or sleeveless jacket in a neutral colour can add dimension without adding bulk.
Accessories that Accentuate
Jhumkas, oxidised bangles, embroidered potli bags accessorize based on your mood or the occasion. Even simple gold studs can enhance the understated elegance of a Chikankari kurta.
Popular Styles in Plus Size Chikankari Kurtas
A-Line Kurta
One of the most flattering cuts for curvier frames, A-line kurtas flare out gently from the bust. Perfect for days when you want comfort with structure.
Straight Fit with Side Slits
For those who like a more tailored look, straight fits with higher side slits elongate the torso while offering ease of movement.
Anarkali Silhouettes
Ideal for festive settings, an Anarkali-style plus size kurta brings drama and elegance. Look for versions with subtle embroidery and soft flare.
High-Low Hem Styles
These work wonders for breaking vertical monotony and giving a fluid, fashion-forward look. Pair them with cropped pants or ankle-length churidars.
