Silkmark Tussar Pink Top Katan Silk Blue Dupatta

What does the blue dupatta bring to the pink top?

The rose pink of the top is soft and warm, and the royal blue dupatta gives it depth and contrast. With small round gold dots and a gold edge on the dupatta, the combination feels lively but not loud, and looks good in both daylight and evening light.

Is the top fabric textured or smooth?

It has the natural slubby texture of Tussar: fine, irregular thicker spots in the threads that you can see and feel. The surface has a soft sheen. This texture gives Tussar its handcrafted look, and it reads well even in a very simple cut.

Is the kurta ready to wear?

Not yet. The top comes as unstitched fabric, so you get it tailored to your own measurements and preferred style, whether a kurta, a short kurti or a tunic. The Katan silk dupatta can be worn just as it comes.

What are good ways to drape the dupatta?

Pin it pleated on the left shoulder for a neat office look. For a dinner or festive evening, drape it across both shoulders, or wear it open down the back with the ends falling forward over the arms. Letting it fall loosely shows off the gold dots best.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only, so skip home washing. Store the top and dupatta in separate bags in a dry place, refold them now and then so creases do not set, and air them in a non-humid spot. If they ever need drying, keep them in the shade. Small shade differences between pieces are normal for hand dyeing.
