Enchanting Hand Dyed Pure Organza Blue Dupatta

How is the border worked on this dupatta?

A wide gold border runs along both long sides and across both ends, so the dupatta is framed on all four edges. Against the deep, dark ground the gold stands out sharply, and because the organza is sheer, the border seems to float when the dupatta is draped over the shoulder.

What outfits does it pair with?

Deep navy with gold lifts a plain white, cream or pale grey kurta instantly, and it also works over mustard, pink or powder blue suits. The gold border means it sits comfortably with gold jewellery and zari-bordered kurtas for festive wear, and it is simple enough for the office too.

What size is it?

The dupatta measures about 2.3 to 2.4 metres in length and 35 to 36 inches in width. You can drape it across both shoulders, pin it in a pleated fall on one side, or wear it loosely over the head, letting the gold border frame the look.

Is it real silk organza?

Yes, it's organza silk, a sheer, lightweight fabric made from silk fibres with a fine weave. That gives it a crisp texture and a subtle sheen. It's hand dyed and comes from Bhagalpur, so the shade can vary a touch from one piece to the next.

How should I clean it?

Dry cleaning is preferred, as it keeps the organza crisp and protects the gold border. If you wash it at home, hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry it in the shade. Iron on a low setting with a cotton cloth laid over it.
