Pankhudi Light Green Gota Patti Kota Cotton Suit (T+B+D) Set

Where is the gota work on this suit?

Mostly on the dupatta. The pale mint kurta fabric is kept plain apart from tiny scattered flower butis, while the sheer dupatta carries a wide band of pink and gold gota flowers along its border, so the dupatta does most of the dressing up.

What does the set include?

Unstitched top, bottom and dupatta fabric, each 2.4 to 2.5 metres, in Kota cotton. Keep the offcuts; they make neat piping or tassels for the dupatta. Your tailor can cut it to your size and preferred silhouette.

Is it suitable for a mehndi?

Yes, it is made first for a mehndi, and mint with pink gota suits the mood. It also suits festive days, office celebrations, summer outings and a kitty party or brunch.

How should I clean it?

Dry clean is preferred. If you wash it at home, use a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent, wash it separately and dry it in the shade.

Does Kota cotton need lining?

Kota cotton is light and airy with an open check, and this pale mint fabric looks sheer, so a thin cotton lining makes the kurta more opaque and comfortable. Ask your tailor for a lining close to the mint shade so it blends in.
