Chikankari Thoughtful Kota Doria Pink Suit (Top+Dupatta)

What does the chikankari look like?

White chikankari scrolls curl across the pink fabric, and between them sit small sprigs of pink buds with green leaves, worked in colour. White scrolls with coloured sprigs give it a soft, feminine look that stays light on sheer Kota Doria.

What bottom suits this pink suit?

White or ivory keeps it fresh and lets the chikankari shine. For festive days or an office party, a deeper rose or wine bottom adds richness. Pearl or silver jewellery suits the delicate chikankari well.

Where can I wear it?

It is made first for office wear, and it also suits office parties, kitty parties and brunch, summer travel and festive days. Chikankari makes it easy to dress up with a pair of pearl earrings.

What comes in the set?

Two unstitched pieces: chikankari Kota Doria top fabric of about 2.4 to 2.5 metres, 43 to 45 inches wide, and a dupatta of about 2.3 to 2.4 metres. The bottom is not included, so pair it with a salwar, pant or palazzo you choose.

Will I need a lining?

Yes, we would recommend one. Kota Doria is sheer, and a soft cotton lining under the top keeps it opaque while letting the chikankari show clearly. Choose a skin tone or a shade close to the fabric. Lining is not included in the set.

How do I wash chikankari on Kota Doria?

Gently, by hand, with a mild detergent, and separately. Do not scrub or wring the embroidered areas. Dry in the shade, then iron on the reverse side over a soft towel so the chikankari keeps its raised texture.
