Blissful Khadi Cotton Wax Batik Hand Dyed Blue Suit (T+B+D)

What design does the Blissful top carry?

Large slate-blue diamonds are spaced across a greige khadi ground marked with fine crackle lines, with a slate zigzag band along the hem. It is a bold, graphic layout, so it looks clean and modern for office wear.

How does the dupatta tie in?

The dupatta is finished with an arrow-motif border and tassels, which echo the graphic feel of the diamonds and zigzag hem on the top. The orange bottom adds a warm contrast to the greige and slate blue, so the three pieces work as one set.

What is wax batik?

Batik uses wax as a resist. The wax is laid onto the khadi in a pattern, the fabric is dyed by hand, and wherever there was wax the dye cannot reach. On this set the batik is combined with hand block printed designs, so lines vary slightly.

What do I receive in the package?

Unstitched khadi cotton fabric for three pieces: a top, a bottom and a dupatta. The top is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 44 to 45 inches wide, the bottom about 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 42 inches wide, and the dupatta about 2.3 to 2.4 metres at 32 to 33 inches wide.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent and wash each piece separately. Cold water and a short wash work best, so avoid soaking for long, and dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun. Keep the orange bottom apart from the lighter top and dupatta.
