Meher Baani Cotton Applique Suit Dark Gray (T+B+D)

How do the grey and periwinkle work together?

The slate grey dupatta pairs with a periwinkle kurta fabric, and the dupatta's petal-lattice cut appliqué band picks up that periwinkle along its sides. Both are cool tones, so the set looks calm and coordinated, with white and pale lilac accents keeping it from feeling dull.

What motifs appear on the set?

A petal-shaped appliqué lattice runs across the fabric, and the dupatta adds flower and diamond appliqué to its body. The petals give a soft, rounded pattern rather than a sharp geometric one, which suits the gentle colour pairing and keeps the look easy on the eye.

Is it unstitched?

Yes. The set has three unstitched cotton pieces, for the top, the bottom and the dupatta, each about 2.4 to 2.5 metres. You will need to get the top and bottom tailored, so you can choose the cut and fit you are most comfortable in.

Will it stay comfortable through a long, warm day?

Yes. Cotton breathes, absorbs moisture and stays soft through long hours at a desk or on the move. The appliqué looks light rather than heavy, so the set stays comfortable from morning to evening.

How do I wear the dupatta so the border shows?

Fold it lengthwise and drape it over one shoulder so the periwinkle petal band runs down the front, or spread it across both shoulders so the bands frame you on either side. At about 2.4 to 2.5 metres, it is a full dupatta with enough length for either style.

Can I iron over the appliqué?

Yes, on low heat. Press from the reverse side, or lay a thin cotton cloth over the appliqué, and lift the iron instead of dragging it, so the petal shapes stay flat and neat without picking up a shine.
