Pure Linen Blushing Black Dupatta & Red Ikkat Kurti Set

What does the kurta fabric look like?

The kurta fabric is a hot pink with rows of small white zigzag arrow motifs in ikkat. It pairs with a black dupatta finished with a magenta and orange striped band and orange tassels. The black grounds the bright kurta, and the dupatta's magenta and orange pick up its tone.

How do I style the black dupatta with the bright kurta?

Let the black ground the colour. A black straight pant or churidar makes the combination sharp for work, and an orange or pink bag picks up the dupatta's striped band. Oxidised silver jewellery suits the bold contrast, and a plain bottom keeps the ikkat the focus.

Does the kurta come stitched?

No. The kurta is unstitched ikkat fabric, so your tailor can cut it to your size and preferred style, while the linen dupatta is ready to wear. The fabric is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 44 inches wide.

How should I wash the set?

Both pieces involve hand-dyed yarns, so wash them separately in cold water with a mild detergent, and dry them in the shade. Since the kurta and dupatta are in different colours, never wash them together or leave them damp in a pile.

Is 2.4 metres enough for a kurta?

At 44 inches wide, about 2.4 to 2.5 metres comfortably covers a straight or A-line kurta of knee length with sleeves for most sizes. If you want a longer or flared kurta, ask your tailor to check against your measurements before cutting.

Is it comfortable in the heat?

Yes. The kurta fabric is cotton ikkat and the dupatta is pure linen, both breathable and light, and linen is prized for keeping you cool in hot weather. The set stays easy through long office days and travel, and the linen softens with each wash.
