Cutting is carried out in lots of 20-50 garments. The layouts are done to minimize wastage of materials. Stitching is often done by the same person. Printing is carried out by the use of wooden blocks dipped in dyes like Neel and Safeda. After this, the fabric is embroidered by women. The last process, which is washing and finishing, takes about 10-12 days. This includes bleaching, acid treatment, stiffening, and ironing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUniqueness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 40 different stitches are used for Lucknow Chikan embroidery.
