Let’s set the record straight: fashion was never meant to fit just one mold. And at Mora Couture, we’re here to remind you—your shape is not just worthy of celebration, it’s worthy of couture.
For years, traditional Indian fashion often skipped over inclusive sizing. But things are changing, and the change is beautiful. Our latest collection of Plus-Size Chikankari Kurtas is a heartfelt tribute to body diversity, slow fashion, and the timeless elegance of Indian handcraft. Made for real bodies and real lives, these kurtas bring together grace, comfort, and cultural richness—stitched with love, designed for joy.
Let’s step into the world of Chikankari that embraces every curve—one thread, one silhouette, one story at a time.
Why Chikankari? Because Art Never Goes Out of Style
Before we talk about cuts and fits, let’s talk about the art itself.
Chikankari, which originated in the historic city of Lucknow, is a hand embroidery technique that’s as delicate as it is detailed. Using soft thread and rhythmic stitching, artisans create floral, paisley, and geometric patterns that seem to float on fabric. No machine can replace this—it’s 100% hand-done, usually taking several days to complete a single piece.
It’s not just embroidery; it’s heritage. And when combined with size-inclusive silhouettes, it becomes a love letter to modern femininity in all its forms.
The Fabric of Comfort: Materials That Breathe With You
Fashion doesn’t have to come at the cost of comfort—especially not in Indian summers. That’s why every piece in our plus-size Chikankari line is made with breathable, lightweight fabrics like cotton, mulmul, rayon, and modal.
These are materials that let your skin breathe, drape beautifully on fuller figures, and never cling in all the wrong places. Whether you’re heading to brunch, working from home, or attending a family gathering, these kurtas move with you—not against you.
Silhouettes That Flatter, Not Hide
Let’s be honest—plus-size fashion has often been guilty of one thing: trying to hide the body instead of highlighting it.
At Mora Couture, we take the opposite approach. Our goal is to frame your curves with intention and beauty. Whether you’re into dramatic Anarkalis, straight-fit elegance, or flowy A-line kurtas, there’s something here for you.
Here’s how each cut works its magic:
The Anarkali Dream
With its flared silhouette and cinched waist, the Anarkali flatters your bust and flows freely below. It adds instant drama and movement—think twirl-friendly, camera-ready elegance. Great for festive events, weddings, or when you just want to feel like royalty.
Pair it with: Chaandbalis, a sleek bun, and embroidered juttis.
The Everyday Straight Fit
For those days when you need to look sharp but stay comfy, a straight-fit kurta is your best friend. The clean lines elongate your frame, while subtle embroidery keeps it elegant without being over-the-top.
Pair it with: Cigarette pants, a bright tote, and oxidized studs.
The Relaxed A-line
No tight waistbands, no fuss. A-line kurtas gently skim over the hips and tummy, giving you that effortless breezy look. Perfect for lounging, park walks, or casual errands.
Pair it with: Soft palazzos, slip-ons, and a messy bun.
The Coordinated Kurta Set
Because sometimes, you just want to get dressed and go. Our kurta sets come with matching bottoms—often in the same soft cotton with complementary embroidery. No mixing, no guessing, just instant polish.
Pair it with: Minimal jewelry, sleek clutch, and you’re ready to roll.
The Modern Fusion Twist
Looking to give your ethnic wear a cool, modern upgrade? Belt your kurta at the waist or throw on a denim jacket. Yes, denim + chikankari is a vibe.
Pair it with: Silver hoops, ankle boots, and all the attitude.
Occasions, Covered
Still wondering where you’ll wear these beauties? The answer is: everywhere.
Work from home? Go for soft rayon with delicate motifs. Light on the skin, heavy on style.
Office meeting? A tailored straight kurta with monochrome embroidery gives you boardroom confidence.
Wedding function? An Anarkali in modal with all-over Chikan and a dupatta says "I'm here, and I'm glowing."
Brunch? Try a pastel mulmul A-line paired with kolhapuris and your widest smile.
Evening strolls? A cotton kurta with side slits and a pair of jhumkas is all the magic you need.
Colors That Celebrate You
We believe that plus-size fashion deserves the same color stories as any other line—no more “dark colors only” nonsense.
From powder pastels to deep jewel tones, our collection includes a palette that flatters every skin tone and every mood. Think blush pinks, mint greens, mustard yellows, ivory whites, and classic blacks—all brought to life with intricate embroidery.
Want to keep it neutral? Go for whites or beiges with tonal threadwork. Craving a bold moment? Try fuchsia or deep teal with contrast detailing.
Accessories? Keep It Simple.
When your outfit carries the kind of heritage and detail that Chikankari does, you don’t need a whole jewelry box. We recommend understated accessories that accent, not overwhelm.
Oxidized silver hoops or chaandbalis
Tan kolhapuris or nude juttis
A fabric belt if you’re feeling experimental
Braided hair or a messy bun to finish the look
Remember: less fuss = more fabulous.
Real Talk: Size Is Just a Number
At Mora Couture, we don’t just upsize patterns—we design intentionally for every size. That means:
Armholes that don’t pinch
Side slits that give room to move
Bust darts and pleats where they actually make sense
Fabrics that don’t wrinkle awkwardly or stick to your body
Because style shouldn’t feel like a compromise. And fit? It should feel like a hug.
Behind the Seams: Made With Heart
Every Chikankari piece in our collection is hand-embroidered by skilled artisans—mostly women—from rural Uttar Pradesh. By choosing Mora Couture, you’re not just dressing beautifully; you’re supporting centuries-old craftsmanship and sustainable livelihoods.
It’s slow fashion, with soul.
Wear the Love
Fashion is more than just fabric—it’s emotion. It’s how we show up in the world. And you deserve to show up as your full, fabulous self, wrapped in beauty that feels as good as it looks.
So go ahead—twirl, lounge, work, celebrate, exist—exactly as you are.
These Chikankari kurtas aren't just clothes. They’re confidence. They’re comfort. They’re couture for you.
