Pure Linen Pastoral Torquise Dupatta & Blue Ikkat Kurti Set

What does the dupatta look like?

It is a teal dupatta checked in pink, with magenta and orange bands at the ends and tassels. The kurta fabric is navy with multicolour zigzag ikkat motifs in pastel shades, so the brighter dupatta lifts the darker kurta piece.

What bottom works with it?

A navy bottom makes the kurta look longer and lets the checked dupatta stand out. A magenta or turquoise bottom picks up the dupatta for a brighter look. Orange juttis echo the dupatta border nicely.

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.

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.

Will the colours bleed?

Both pieces involve hand-dyed yarns, so wash them separately, especially the first few times, 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.

What is the linen dupatta like?

It is pure linen, about 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 32 to 33 inches wide, with tasselled ends. Linen starts slightly crisp and softens with each wash, and it is breathable in hot weather. The width suits a single-shoulder drape or a loose wrap across both shoulders.
