Embroidered Joyful Khadi Cotton Green Suit (T+B+D) Piece

What kind of embroidery is on this set?

Small round floral butis are embroidered all over the body in orange, pink and mustard thread. They are evenly scattered and small in scale, so the pattern reads as a gentle sprinkle of colour across the fabric rather than a dense design. The overall feel is light and everyday.

How do the thread colours sit against the base?

The base is a soft sage green, a cool and calm shade, while the butis are in warm orange, pink and mustard. That contrast keeps the set fresh and cheerful. Gold or oxidised silver jewellery both work, and tan or mustard footwear picks up the buti colours nicely.

What styles can I get stitched from the unstitched top fabric?

With 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 44 to 45 inches wide, you can plan a straight or A-line kurta, with the length and sleeves of your choice. Since the butis are all-over, your tailor does not need to worry about matching or centring a placed design.

Why does the fabric have a slightly uneven texture?

That is the natural slub of khadi cotton, where the yarn has small thick and thin spots that show up as a gentle texture on the surface. It is part of the character of the fabric, and minor irregularities like these are what make each handcrafted piece a little different from the next.

How large is the dupatta?

The dupatta is 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 32 to 33 inches wide. That length is comfortable for a classic one-shoulder drape or for wearing it open across both shoulders. It is in the same khadi cotton as the rest of the set, so the texture matches.
