Chikankari Pure Chanderi Silk Serene Green Kurta & Dupatta

How does the dupatta pair with the kurta?

The kurta is a fresh aqua with a tonal scalloped yoke and small white flower buttis, and the dupatta is a teal and charcoal tie-dye with a thin gold edge. The darker tie-dye gives the soft kurta some definition, so the set looks fresh without being washed out.

What should I pair with it?

White or ivory bottoms keep the pastel kurta fresh, and a charcoal or grey bottom picks up the darker tie-dye in the dupatta for a smarter office look. Silver or pearl jewellery suits the cool shade, and coral or peach accessories add a pleasant warm contrast.

What comes in the package?

Two pieces: an unstitched kurta length of about 2.9 to 3.0 metres and a dupatta of about 2.4 to 2.5 metres. A bottom is not included, which leaves you free to pair the kurta with churidars, palazzos or straight pants you already own, in a shade picked from the dupatta.

Is chanderi silk see-through?

Chanderi is known for a light, slightly sheer texture, which is part of its charm. For the kurta, a lining or a slip underneath is a good idea, especially in a pale aqua. The dupatta is meant to stay airy and needs nothing behind it.

Will it feel heavy with all the embroidery?

No. Chanderi itself is lightweight, and chikankari is fine thread embroidery rather than a heavy surface embellishment, so the kurta stays light on the shoulders. The dupatta is in the same airy chanderi, so the whole outfit is comfortable for long hours.

Can I wash it at home?

Dry cleaning is preferred, and it is the safest choice for chanderi with chikankari and a hand-dyed dupatta. If you need to freshen it at home, wash each piece separately in cold water with a mild detergent, do not soak or wring, and dry it in the shade.
