Katan Silk Radiant Handcrafted Orange Suit (T+B+D)

What does this suit look like?

It's a warm, bright orange set with faint vertical bands woven in through jacquard. The dupatta has bands of grey stripes near its ends, finished with tassels, and the grey and beige accents keep the orange from feeling loud.

Is it stitched, and what's in the set?

It's unstitched dress material with three pieces: top fabric, bottom fabric and a dupatta. The top is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 44 to 45 inches wide, the bottom 2.4 to 2.5 metres and 42 inches wide, and the dupatta 2.3 to 2.4 metres by 32 to 33 inches.

What colours go with this orange set?

Orange pairs well with teal, turquoise and pink accents, and with gold jewellery. Grey, echoing the dupatta bands, gives a calmer look for work. Tan or gold footwear suits it best.

Will the colour run?

Wash it separately, especially at first, and have the first wash dry cleaned if you can. After that, hand wash it gently in cold water with a mild detergent, on its own, and dry it in the shade. Never soak it for long or leave it bunched while damp.

Is it pure silk or a blend?

Katan silk is made from pure silk threads and is known for its smooth, shiny surface and fine texture. It is also known as taffeta, and it has a long place in Indian textile traditions, especially for saris and other traditional garments.
