Lush Hand Dyed Slub Linen Green Dupatta

Is this dupatta see-through?

It looks light and sheer, so the colour of your kurta will show through it softly. That makes it easy to layer over a printed or contrasting kurta without hiding it. If you want more coverage, fold it double over one shoulder.

What does the surface look like up close?

Up close you see faint pale butis scattered across a soft lime base, with a fine checked look where the slub threads cross. From a distance it reads quietly, more like texture than print, which keeps it easy to wear with patterned kurtas.

How do I style a lime dupatta?

Lime is bright and fresh, so let it be the one pop of colour: wear it with white, beige or grey kurtas, or with navy for a sharper contrast. It also works with a pale pink kurta if you enjoy playful combinations. Silver or oxidised jewellery keeps the look light.

Can I cover my head with it?

Yes. At about 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 35 to 36 inches wide, there is enough fabric to take it over the head and still let the ends fall over the shoulders. Its light, sheer look keeps a head drape soft and graceful.

What is the right way to wash it?

Use gentle hand washing with a mild detergent, and wash it separately because it is hand-dyed. Don't twist it hard; press out the water and dry it in the shade. This keeps the fine weave even and the colour from fading.
