Abstract Katan Silk Tie Dyed Pink & Blue Suit (T+B+D)

Is this set suited to work or to celebrations?

Both. Its first home is office wear, where the navy bottom keeps it grounded. Add the marbled dupatta and gold jewellery and it fits festive gatherings, and it is just as easy at a kitty party, a brunch or on summer trips.

How do the coral top and navy bottom balance each other?

The warm coral-pink top brings brightness near the face, while the navy bottom adds depth and makes the outfit look sharper. The peach dupatta with grey and yellow swirls sits between the two and softens the contrast.

Are the stripes on the top noticeable?

Only faintly. They are fine vertical dash stripes woven into the Katan silk through jacquard weaving, so they give texture rather than a bold pattern. From a distance the top reads almost solid.

What does the set include?

Unstitched fabric for the top, bottom and dupatta. The top and bottom are Katan silk, each 2.4-2.5 metres long; the dupatta is Resam silk with a marble print, 2.3-2.4 metres long and 32-33 inches wide.

What care does it need?

Dry clean for the first wash. Then hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately, and dry in the shade. The navy bottom in particular should never go in with the lighter top or dupatta.

What bottom styles work with the fabric provided?

At 42 inches wide and 2.4-2.5 metres long, it suits a straight pant, cigarette trouser or a slim salwar. For a fuller palazzo or patiala, talk to your tailor about whether the width is enough for your size.
