Katan Silk Gleaming Handcrafted Blue Suit (T+B+D)

What's the pattern on the Gleaming suit?

It's a royal blue set woven in jacquard. The fabric has vertical rows of small, pale leaf-like motifs with a light slub texture, and the dupatta is striped and finished with tassels. Royal blue with pale blue and touches of gold gives it a clean, classic look.

Is it stitched, and what's in the set?

It's unstitched dress material with three pieces: top fabric, bottom fabric and a dupatta. The top is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 44 to 45 inches wide, the bottom 2.4 to 2.5 metres and 42 inches wide, and the dupatta 2.3 to 2.4 metres by 32 to 33 inches.

How do I style the Gleaming set for work?

A straight kurta with a mandarin collar or round neck, straight pants from the bottom fabric and the dupatta on one shoulder look polished. Silver studs and white or tan footwear keep the royal blue crisp through a working day.

Will the colour run?

To be safe, wash it separately, and get the first wash dry cleaned. After that, hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent, on its own, and dry in the shade. Never soak it for long or leave it bunched while damp.
