Handdyed Katan Silk Blue & Pink Contrast Suit (T+B+D)

How does the rose-pink dupatta work with the aqua top?

The dupatta is rose pink for most of its length and fades into aqua at the ends. Aqua is cool and pink is warm, so the dupatta brings softness and warmth near your face, while the aqua ends repeat the top colour. The pairing feels light and fresh.

Where would I wear it?

Summer outings and travel come first, as the aqua and rose pink look light and fresh. It is equally at home at the office, at a kitty party or brunch, and at festive gatherings during the day.

Do I need a tailor?

Yes, the set is unstitched. It includes a top length of 2.4-2.5 metres at 44-45 inches wide, a bottom length of 2.4-2.5 metres at 42 inches wide, and a dupatta of 2.3-2.4 metres at 32-33 inches wide.

What kurta style suits the aqua top?

The fine lines run horizontally, so a straight or slightly flared kurta in a comfortable length keeps them looking soft and even. Ask your tailor to keep the lines level across the side seams. A simple neckline lets the pink dupatta take the attention.

Can the pink bleed onto the aqua?

Take care, as both colours are hand dyed. The first wash should be a dry clean. After that, hand wash each piece separately in cold water with mild detergent, rinse quickly and dry in the shade.

How should I store and handle it?

Handle it gently: no hard wringing or scrubbing, and dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun, which can dull hand-dyed colour. Small irregularities in the fabric come from the hand process.
