Rooprekha Cotton Jamdani Suit (T+B+D) Pink

What design does this suit carry?

The salmon-pink top fabric has large indigo paisleys with a floral base, wide indigo paisley and floral bands, and tiny dot butis across the ground. The dupatta repeats the paisley motifs and has tasselled ends. Touches of purple deepen the indigo, so the contrast stays strong.

What do I get in the package?

One top fabric, one bottom fabric and one dupatta, all unstitched. The top is 3 to 3.1 metres, the bottom 2.4 to 2.5 metres and the dupatta 2.4 to 2.5 metres. Show your tailor the woven panels before deciding the cut.

What accessories go with pink and indigo?

Silver or oxidised jewellery suits the indigo paisleys, and indigo juttis or a deep blue bag tie the outfit together. For a festive look, gold jhumkas and a pink lip warm it up.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry it in the shade. Don't scrub the woven motifs or wring the fabric; press the water out in a towel instead. Iron on the reverse.

Why are there small irregularities in the weave?

Jamdani motifs are inserted by hand during weaving, so small variations in texture, spacing and outline are natural and part of handcrafted textiles. They're a sign of the weaver's hand, not a fault.

Is pure cotton comfortable for long hours?

Yes. Pure cotton is breathable, soft and lightweight, so it stays comfortable through long hours, whether at the office, a festive gathering or a kitty brunch. It suits all seasons, and with a light shawl it also works in cooler months.
