Chikan work is no more confined to traditional salwaarkameez, kurtapajama and sarees, but is a delight to wear and watch in almost all kinds of western wear like funky tops, designer kurtas, enticing skirts, etc. Drifting apart from the original pristine white-thread setting, the tone-on-tone embroidery is in vogue these days. The significant use of beads, sequin, mokaish (white flat silver strip embroidery) and crochet have also gained wide acceptance.
