Embroidered Kota Doria Suit Pink (Top+Dupatta+Bottom)

What colour is the chikankari bottom?

It is cream, which sets off the vivid magenta-pink of the top and dupatta. The top is worked all over in white flower sprays and paisley panels, and the dupatta carries embroidered border bands with a gold stripe, so the cream bottom gives the eye a calm base.

How should the kurta be cut to show the bottom?

Keep the kurta at knee length or just below, with side slits, so the bottom shows as you walk. Stitch the chikankari piece as an ankle-length straight pant. Heavily flared or floor-length kurtas would hide the work, which defeats the point of it.

Is it suitable for an office party?

Yes. It suits office parties, along with office wear, summer travel, kitty parties and brunch, and festive days. Open the dupatta so the gold-striped border shows, add statement earrings, and the magenta-pink with its cream bottom looks dressed for it.

Will I get all three pieces?

Yes: top, bottom and dupatta. The top fabric is around 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 44 to 45 inches wide, the bottom around 2.4 to 2.5 metres and 42 inches wide, and the dupatta around 2.3 to 2.4 metres. All are unstitched.

Should the tailor add a lining?

Yes, we would recommend it. The weave is open and see-through by nature. A thin cotton lining, cut a little shorter than the kurta, gives the top enough body to hang neatly without making it warm. Lining fabric is not part of the set, so pick it up when you go to the tailor.

What is special about Kota Doria?

It is a lightweight, sheer fabric from Kota, Rajasthan, woven on traditional pit looms using a blend of cotton and silk yarns. It is known for its airy texture, fine checkered pattern and delicate drape, which is why it is so well suited to warm-weather clothing.
