Embroidered Dreamy Khadi Cotton Orange Suit (T+B+D) Piece

What is the embroidery pattern like?

Small round floral butis in pink, mustard and dark grey are spread evenly across the fabric. Each one is compact, and the grey thread outlines them so they look neat and defined. It is a light, all-over pattern that gives the plain khadi a lift without making it feel dressy.

How warm is this colourway?

Salmon orange is a warm, sunny shade, and the pink and mustard butis keep the palette warm throughout, with dark grey adding balance. It flatters warm and wheatish skin tones especially well. Gold jewellery or tan leather accessories suit it better than cool silver.

Is it a good fabric for hot, humid weather?

Khadi cotton is valued for its breathability and natural texture, so a kurta made from it is a comfortable pick for warm days. The embroidery here is light and spread out rather than dense, and a relaxed straight cut will keep it easy through a humid afternoon.

Is there enough top fabric for a long kurta with full sleeves?

The top piece is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 44 to 45 inches wide. Whether that covers a long kurta with full sleeves depends on your height and measurements, so share these figures with your tailor before you decide the length and sleeve style.

How do I look after it?

Wash it gently by hand in mild detergent, keeping it separate from other clothes. Dry in the shade to protect the warm orange and the thread colours from strong sun. Iron on the reverse at a cotton setting so the embroidery is not flattened.
