Noor-e-Banaras Brocade Silk Suit (T+B+D) Blush Peach

What exactly do I get in the set?

Three unstitched pieces: the top, measuring 3.0 to 3.1 metres; the bottom, 2.4 to 2.5 metres; and the dupatta, 2.4 to 2.5 metres. Together they weigh about 500 gm. There's no ready-made garment, so plan a visit to your tailor well before you want to wear it.

Is blush peach better for day or evening?

Blush peach is soft and fresh, so it looks gentle in daylight, but the gold buti and the floral jaal dupatta give it enough shine for later in the day. With gold jhumkas and a deeper lip it works well at an evening dinner, and with a stack of bangles at a festive gathering.

With so much gold in the jaal, how much jewellery should I wear?

Less than you think. The floral jaal already brings plenty of shine, so small studs or slim jhumkas are usually enough. Skip a heavy necklace, which would sit on top of the pattern. A stack of thin bangles or a single statement ring adds finish without crowding.

How heavy is the set?

The three unstitched pieces weigh about 500 gm together. The final weight depends on your lining and cut; a light cotton lining keeps it comfortable for longer wear. The dupatta, with its floral jaal and wide gold band ending in tassels, is the showpiece of the set, so keep the kurta cut simple.

Should I worry about minor irregularities?

No. Minor irregularities come with handcrafted products: a slight variation in the weave, or a thread that sits a little differently. They are part of what makes each piece exquisite. The shade on your screen may also differ slightly from the fabric in daylight, since displays vary.
