Zig-Zag Embroidered Khadi Cotton Suit (T+B+D) Piece Cadet Blue

What does the zig-zag embroidery look like on this set?

Rows of white dotted zig-zag lines run over a light sky blue base, with silvery highlights. Because the base is pale, the white lines read softly rather than in sharp contrast, giving the set a gentle, airy look that stays neat and graphic.

Are there tassels on the dupatta?

Yes, the dupatta ends are finished with tassels. They add a bit of movement and a finished edge when you drape it over a shoulder. The dupatta is 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 32 to 33 inches wide, easy to wear on one shoulder or across both.

When can I wear it?

Wear it to work first: the light blue and neat lines look fresh at a desk. It is easy for a kitty lunch or brunch, comfortable on summer trips, and with silver jewellery it is polished enough for an office party.

Will the light base need extra care?

A little. Hand wash gently with a mild detergent and always wash it separately, since a light base picks up colour from other clothes easily. Dry it in the shade, and do not leave it lying damp in a bucket with other garments.

What bottom would you suggest?

The bottom fabric is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 42 inches wide, which can be stitched as straight pants or a salwar. A slim straight pant balances the lined zig-zag pattern for the office, while a salwar gives a softer, more traditional feel for summer days.
