Gulmohar Blue Pure Linen Embroidered Suit Piece

Is the Gulmohar set stitched?

No, it comes as unstitched fabric: top, bottom and dupatta. That lets your tailor cut it to your exact measurements and the silhouette you prefer, whether a straight kurta, an A-line or a kurta with pants.

Does the blue read cool or warm?

Blue sits on the cool side, which makes it fresh and easy on the eye in summer, and it looks composed in an office setting. Silver jewellery and white or nude footwear keep that cool, clean feel; gold warms it up for a festive evening.

How much fabric is there for the kurta?

The top length is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 44 to 45 inches wide. That is generous for most kurta styles, including longer lengths and fuller A-line cuts. Show your tailor the full length before deciding on sleeves and flare.

Where can I wear this set?

Workwear is its first home, and it also suits an office party, a kitty party or brunch, summer outings and travel, and festive get-togethers. Linen keeps you comfortable through a long day, and the embroidery dresses it up when you need it to.

Will the colour run in the first wash?

To be safe, wash it separately, especially the first few times. Dry cleaning is preferred; otherwise hand wash gently with a mild detergent and dry it in the shade so the blue doesn't fade.

How is the embroidery arranged on this set?

Pink lotus bouquets with olive-green leaves run along the hem of the top, with small flower dots scattered over the rest of the pale aqua-blue fabric. The dupatta has a pink floral edge finished with a silver border. Being handcrafted, the stitching varies slightly from motif to motif, which is normal for embroidered work.
