Alluring Khadi Cotton Wax Batik Hand Dyed orange Suit (T+B+D)

Where is the batik placed on the top?

The terracotta-orange top carries wide cream floral lattice bands, with stepped triangle motifs at the corners, so the print is placed rather than all-over and the plain areas let it breathe. The dupatta has a printed border and is finished with tassels, which ties the three pieces together.

What colour is the bottom?

The bottom is a cool aqua. That turquoise against the warm terracotta-orange top is a lively contrast, and it picks up the teal accents in the set. If you prefer a calmer look, the top also pairs well with white or off-white pants of your own.

What sizes are the pieces?

The top is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 44 to 45 inches wide, the bottom about 2.4 to 2.5 metres and 42 inches wide, and the dupatta 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 32 to 33 inches wide. All three come unstitched.

Is khadi cotton good for summer and travel?

Yes. Khadi cotton is known for its natural texture and breathability, so it stays comfortable on hot days and long journeys. Its easy-going, rustic character suits everyday wear and kitty brunches as much as office days, and the unstitched pieces let you choose a relaxed cut.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, because the colour is hand dyed. Avoid long soaking and dry it in the shade so the orange doesn't fade and the aqua bottom doesn't pick up any colour.

Will mine look exactly like the photo?

Very close, but not identical. Handcrafted batik varies slightly from piece to piece in the placement and crispness of the pattern, and screens show colour differently. Minor irregularities are part of what makes each suit individual.
