Striking Khadi Cotton Handcrafted Pink Suit (T+B+D)

How fine is the check on the top?

It is a bright pink with a pale check grid, and small box and circle marks sit inside the squares. The check is medium in scale and evenly spaced, so the top looks cheerful but tidy, easy to wear to work or a brunch.

What border does the dupatta have?

A deep pink temple-style border runs along the cream dupatta. The temple shapes are a traditional border design and give the set a slightly dressier finish against the checked top. The dupatta is 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 32 to 33 inches wide.

Is it hand-dyed?

Yes, the colour is hand-dyed on khadi cotton, so the shade can vary slightly from piece to piece and from what you see on screen. Minor irregularities in the fabric are part of its handcrafted character, not a defect.

Tailoring tips for a check?

Ask your tailor to match the checks at the side seams and centre front. A straight or A-line kurta with a simple neckline shows the check best. The bottom fabric, 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 42 inches wide, works for straight pants or a salwar.

What is included?

Three unstitched pieces: top fabric of 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 44 to 45 inches wide, bottom fabric of 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 42 inches wide, and the dupatta.

How do I care for it?

Gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Wash it separately, at least for the first few washes, and dry it in the shade rather than in strong sun.
