Adorable Khadi Cotton Wax Batik Hand Dyed Black Suit (T+B+D)

What does the pattern on the Adorable suit look like?

The top is a deep black khadi covered all over in a dense cream print: a diamond lattice with small round flower bursts. The dupatta carries a printed lattice border and finishes in tassels, so the pieces read as a matched set.

Is the bottom also black?

No. The bottom is a contrasting orange, which lifts the black and gives you a ready-made colour pop. You can of course wear the top with a plain black or white bottom of your own for a quieter look.

How is the batik made?

Batik is a wax-resist craft. Wax is applied to the khadi in a pattern, the fabric is hand dyed, and the waxed areas hold back the dye, leaving the design in cream. Here it is combined with hand block printing, so no two lengths come out exactly alike.

Is it stitched?

No. It comes as unstitched fabric for a top, a bottom and a dupatta, so you can have it tailored to your measurements and choose your own neckline, sleeves and kurta length. The top length is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 44 to 45 inches wide.

Will the black dye run when I wash it?

To be safe, always wash it separately. Use a gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, don't leave it soaking for long, and dry it in the shade, away from direct sun, so the black and cream stay crisp.
