Embroidered Kota Doria Suit White (Top+Dupatta+Bottom)

Is the embroidery tonal?

Yes. The flower sprays and embroidered border bands are worked in white on a white ground, so the pattern shows as texture rather than contrast. The sheer dupatta stays in the same tone. It is a quiet, elegant look.

How do I keep a white Kota suit from looking see-through?

Line it. A skin-toned cotton lining under the top and inside the bottom keeps it opaque without tinting it. The set does not include lining fabric. Ask your tailor to cut the lining slightly shorter than the kurta so it never peeks out.

Is the suit stitched?

No, it is unstitched suit material, so the kurta and bottom are made to your measurements. The top piece is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres, the bottom about 2.4 to 2.5 metres, and the dupatta about 2.3 to 2.4 metres. Plan for a cotton lining as well.

Is the bottom fabric the same Kota Doria?

Yes, the fabric is Kota Doria. The bottom piece is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 42 inches wide, so it can become a palazzo, straight pant or churidar. Being sheer, it is worth lining.

Can I put it in the washing machine?

We would not. Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, on its own, and dry it in the shade. The open Kota weave and the embroidery both last longer that way.

Who makes the suit?

The set is made at our own Indiehaat unit in Kota, Rajasthan, where master artisan Haq Nawaz oversees the work. Being handcrafted, no two pieces are absolutely identical; slight irregularities in the weave or stitching are the mark of hand processes, not faults.
