Glimmering Moss Green Kota Dori Suit (Top+Bottom+Dupatta)

What makes this suit stand out?

Its earthy tone. The kurta fabric is an olive-moss green with a wavy bandhani-look print of bands and dots, and a pearly gota flower yoke. The dupatta is a lighter pistachio green with rows of gota and an olive printed edge trimmed in gota.

Is moss green right for a mehndi?

Yes. The muted olive green with its gota yoke has the festive feel a mehndi asks for, without being loud. It also suits festive days, office parties and a kitty party, and the light, sheer Kota Doria is comfortable through a long celebration.

What does the set include?

Top and dupatta fabric of 2.4 to 2.5 metres each, plus bottom fabric of 2.0 to 2.25 metres, all unstitched. A straight, A-line or panelled kurta can all be cut from it.

Do I need to line it?

Kota Doria is sheer, so yes, line the kurta. An olive or beige cotton lining keeps the colour true. Every piece is finished by hand, so tiny differences between pieces are part of its character.

How do I care for it?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, separately, and dry it in the shade. Avoid wringing the gota areas. Avoid soaking it for long; a quick, gentle wash is kinder to the dye.
