Embroidered Lucid Kota Doria Suit Yellow (Top+Bottom+Dupatta)

Can I wear this suit to a haldi?

Yes. It suits a haldi, and pale butter yellow with white floral embroidery is a soft take on the traditional colour. It also works for the office, summer travel, kitty parties and festive days. Pair it with floral jewellery and simple juttis.

How does the white jaal look on pale yellow?

Delicate. The fine all-over white floral jaal with vines sits softly on the pale butter-yellow fabric, and the sheer dupatta is finished with a scalloped embroidered edge. A matching yellow or cream lining keeps the colour even under the sheer weave.

What's included?

Three unstitched pieces in Kota Doria: embroidered top fabric of about 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 44 to 45 inches wide, bottom fabric of about 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 42 inches wide, and a dupatta of about 2.3 to 2.4 metres at 32 to 33 inches wide.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, and always wash it separately. Do not wring or scrub the embroidered parts. Dry it in the shade, then iron on a low setting from the reverse side so the embroidery is not flattened.

Where is it made?

It is handcrafted at the Indiehaat unit in Kota, Rajasthan, under master artisan Haq Nawaz. Kota Doria itself originates from Kota and is woven on traditional pit looms using cotton and silk yarns. Small variations between pieces are part of that handwork.

Is the top piece enough for a full-sleeve kurta?

For most sizes, yes. About 2.4 to 2.5 metres usually covers a knee or calf-length kurta with full or three-quarter sleeves. A long, heavily flared anarkali may need more, so check with your tailor before cutting, especially if you wear a larger size.
