Sunny Hand Dyed Pure Linen Yellow Dupatta

What are the details on this dupatta?

It is a pale yellow linen with faint, wide checks across the body, so the pattern shows softly rather than boldly. A red stripe runs along the edges, and tassels finish the ends. The red edge gives a clean outline against the light ground.

What colours pair well with it?

Pale yellow is warm and light, so it sits well over white, off-white, beige and soft green kurtas. A red or maroon kurta picks up the edge stripe for a richer look. Navy or indigo also makes a good, crisp contrast.

What are some ways to wear it?

Pin it neatly on one shoulder over a straight kurta for work. Drape it across both shoulders with a long fall at the back for a more traditional look, or loop it loosely around the neck with a kurta and pants for everyday wear.

How big is it?

It is 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 35 to 36 inches wide, a full-size dupatta. That is enough length for any of the usual drapes, and enough width to fold it into neat pleats over the shoulder. One dupatta comes in the pack.

How should I wash it?

Dry cleaning is preferred. Otherwise, hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes since it is hand dyed, and dry it in the shade. If anything spills on it, deal with the stain quickly rather than letting it set.
