Pure Linen Glowing Pink Dupatta With Katan Silk Blue Top Set

What's inside the package?

Two pieces: Katan silk fabric for the top, measuring 2.4 to 2.5 metres by 44 inches, and a pure linen dupatta of 2.3 to 2.4 metres by 32 to 33 inches. The top is unstitched and goes to your tailor; the bottom you choose yourself.

What detailing does the dupatta have?

The dusty pink linen dupatta is kept quiet, with sparse dots across the body and a pink band along the edge. The real flourish is at the ends, where bright magenta and lime tassels swing as you move.

How would you style this set?

Against the turquoise top, the pink dupatta creates a lively contrast. A white or cream bottom keeps that contrast crisp, while a pink salwar softens it. Silver or oxidised jewellery suits the cool top, and gold picks up the warmth of the dupatta.

What should I tell my tailor?

Ask for neatly finished seams so the kurta wears well. A straight kurta with side slits, or an A-line silhouette, makes good use of the length. If you want a lining, buy it separately in a matching shade before the tailor starts cutting.

What is the best way to clean it?

Dry cleaning is the preferred option. At home, hand wash gently in a mild detergent, wash the top and dupatta separately because they are hand-dyed in contrasting shades, and dry them in the shade.
