Quaint Kota Doria Red Blockprinted Suit (Top+Dupatta+Bottom)

What is the motif?

Fine dark twigs with small pink flowers run all over a cream ground. It looks delicate and a little botanical, almost like a sketch, and the coral-red dupatta and bright red bottom give it warmth.

How do the dupatta and bottom pair with the top?

The cream top is styled with a coral-red dupatta, which carries a pink paisley column inside a grey frame, and a bright red bottom. The red gives the delicate top a confident finish, while the pink paisley links back to the small flowers.

Is this more of a workday suit or an occasion suit?

Both, but it leans to work. The soft top feels professional, and the red dupatta and bottom carry it to a kitty party, a brunch or a festive gathering with a little jewellery.

What is Kota Doria like to wear?

Kota Doria is a light, sheer fabric from Kota, Rajasthan, woven on traditional pit looms with a fine check. It is airy and has a delicate drape, which makes it ideal for warm weather. Most people line the kurta for coverage.

How do I wash a light top with a red dupatta?

Wash each piece separately by hand in a mild detergent, and never soak the red pieces together with the cream top. Dry everything in the shade and out of direct sun.
