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

What does this suit look like?

It's a cobalt blue set with a noticeable sheen. The top fabric has fine vertical light stripes, while the dupatta is plain with a striped band at the end, finished with blue tassels. The deep blue and soft shine give it a polished 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.

What colours pair with this blue set?

Silver and white keep royal blue crisp, while gold makes it festive. Pink, yellow or orange accents look lively against it. White or silver footwear works well for both day and evening.

How do I wash it?

We recommend dry cleaning for the first wash. After that, hand wash gently in mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry in the shade. Don't wring or scrub the woven motifs; press the water out in a towel instead.

Is it pure silk or a blend?

It is made from pure silk threads. Katan silk, also known as taffeta, has a smooth, shiny surface and fine texture, and it has long been used in traditional Indian sarees and garments. Here it is jacquard woven with fine stripes and comes as unstitched fabric.
