Katan Silk Jaquard Weaving Suit Rani Pink & Beige (T+B+D)

How do the pieces combine?

The top fabric is rani pink with columns of small gold chevrons woven across it in jacquard. The dupatta and bottom are both plain cream, so the kurta carries the colour and pattern, while the lighter pieces calm it down and frame it.

Is it stitched, and what's in the set?

It's unstitched dress material with three pieces: top fabric of 2.4 to 2.5 metres, bottom fabric of 2.4 to 2.5 metres and a dupatta of 2.4 to 2.5 metres. You'll need a tailor for the kurta and bottom, which lets you choose your own cut and fit.

What jewellery suits this set?

Gold suits both the rani pink and the cream, and echoes the gold chevrons. Jhumkas or a choker look festive, while small studs keep it work-ready. Gold or nude juttis tie in with the plain dupatta and bottom.

How do I wash it?

We recommend dry cleaning for the first wash. After that, hand wash gently in mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry in the shade. Don't wring or scrub the woven motifs; press the water out in a towel instead.

How long is the dupatta?

The dupatta is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and plain, in a soft cream-beige. That's a comfortable length to drape over one or both shoulders, and the plain dupatta balances the patterned rani pink top nicely.

What can the beige bottom fabric be made into?

The bottom piece is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and plain beige, so it works as straight pants, a salwar or a churidar. Beige bottoms keep the rani pink kurta the star of the outfit. Check with your tailor before planning a wide palazzo.
