Embroidered Bright Khadi Cotton Mustard Suit (T+B+D) Piece

How does the buti work look on this set?

The fabric is scattered with small round floral butis in coral, yellow and dark grey. The charcoal thread gives each little flower a crisp outline, so the motifs stand out clearly even though they are small. It is light work spread evenly over the surface, easy to wear through the day.

What jewellery and accessories go well with this warm shade?

The mustard-ochre base is a warm colour, so it sits beautifully with antique gold, brass or kundan-style pieces. Oxidised silver gives it a more casual, earthy look for daywear. For footwear, tan kolhapuris or coral juttis echo the buti colours without competing with them.

What is the story behind khadi cotton?

Khadi has a rich history rooted in India's independence movement, when it became a symbol of tradition and self-reliance. Today it is valued for its natural texture, breathability and the craftsmanship behind it. This set is sourced from Bhagalpur, and wearing it carries a little of that story with you.

Do I need to wash it separately?

Yes, wash it separately using a gentle hand wash and a mild detergent. The embroidery uses several thread colours on a coloured base, so keeping it apart from whites and other light clothes is the safe habit. Dry it in the shade to help the mustard keep its depth.

How much fabric is in each part?

You receive unstitched fabric for the top, bottom and dupatta. The top piece is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 44 to 45 inches wide, the bottom is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 42 inches wide, and the dupatta is 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 32 to 33 inches wide.
