Rooh Rang Kota Doria Wax Batik Suit (T+B+D) Ink Blue

What's the pattern on the top?

A small white diamond lattice covers the kurta from neck to hem. From a distance it reads as a fine texture; up close you can see the hand-drawn lines of the wax resist, each diamond slightly its own.

Isn't a red bottom a bold choice?

It is, and it gives this set its character. The bright red with white medallions balances the deep navy kurta, and the white on both pieces ties them together. On days you want it quieter, the kurta pairs just as well with white or navy pants.

What occasions does it suit?

Office and workwear first, since navy reads smart and professional. Beyond that it suits everyday wear, summer travel and a kitty party or brunch, where the red bottom gets a chance to show.

What do I receive?

Unstitched fabric in three parts: top (2.4 to 2.5 metres), bottom (2.4 to 2.5 metres) and dupatta (2.3 to 2.4 metres). The dupatta has fringed tassel ends, and the top and bottom are ready for your tailor to cut to your size.

How does the fabric feel against the skin?

Pure cotton Kota Doria is light and crisp, with a soft drape once worn. Its open weave is airy and breathable, so it stays comfortable through a long workday, and the batik finish adds a soft texture.

Any washing advice?

Wash by hand, gently, with a mild detergent and on its own, because the navy and red are hand-dyed. Press the water out rather than wringing, dry in shade and iron on low heat.
