Timeless Katan Silk Madhubani Beige Suit (T+B+D)

Where does the print sit on this suit?

The top carries bands of figures and birds in blue and mustard near the neckline and hem, set on a cream ground. The dupatta is pale with a fine-line print, so it balances the busier top and the set never feels too much.

Which jewellery suits it?

Silver or oxidised jewellery suits the blue and grey tones. For a festive day, add a statement pair of jhumkas and drape the dupatta open so its fine-line print shows. Keep footwear and bag simple so the figure bands on the top stay the focus.

What is included?

Three unstitched pieces: top fabric of about 2.4 to 2.5 metres by 44 to 45 inches, bottom fabric of about 2.4 to 2.5 metres by 42 inches, and a dupatta of about 2.3 to 2.4 metres by 32 to 33 inches. Everything you need for a full suit, ready for your tailor.

Is there enough fabric for a full suit?

Yes, for most sizes. The top fabric is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 44 to 45 inches wide, enough for a straight or A-line kurta with sleeves. The bottom fabric, about 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 42 inches, suits a salwar, straight pant or palazzo. Check with your tailor before cutting.

Is the print done by hand?

Yes. The motifs are printed with hand-carved wooden blocks, one impression at a time. Slight differences in alignment, colour depth or spacing between repeats are signs of hand printing, so every piece is a little different from the next.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean the first wash. After that, a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent is fine; wash the pieces separately and dry them in the shade. Iron on the reverse to protect the printed surface.
