Noor-e-Banaras Linen Suit (T+B+D) Muted Beige

What is the design on this set?

The kurta fabric is built from curved colour blocks in teal, cream and apricot, with large poppy flowers in blue and orange placed across them. The palette stays soft and light, so the look is gentle even though the scale of the design is large.

Is the material stitched?

No, it is unstitched. You receive a top of 3.0 to 3.1 metres, a bottom of 1.9 to 2.0 metres that is 43 to 44 inches wide, and a dupatta of 2.4 to 2.5 metres. You can have it stitched in any style you like.

How should I place the design while cutting?

Lay out the top fabric fully before cutting. The large poppy flowers look best centred on the front, so decide where the main bloom should sit first. Ask your tailor to match the side seams so the curved colour blocks line up neatly across the kurta.

Will it need a lining?

A light lining is worth adding on the pale beige and peach areas. It keeps the kurta opaque in daylight and gives it a cleaner fall. Choose a soft cotton lining in beige or cream.

How do I look after it?

Dry cleaning is preferred, or a gentle hand wash with mild detergent. Wash it separately and dry it in the shade, out of direct sun. Iron it while slightly damp for a crisp, smooth finish before you wear it.
