Blue Checkerboard Blockprint Katan Silk Suit | Chaupar
Geometry, not florals: a checkerboard of stripes and leaves.
The drape carries its own botanical border down the full length.
Dark blue laid out as a checkerboard of narrow stripes and leaves.
Why this piece
- Stamped square by square from hand-carved wooden blocks in Bhagalpur, never screen printed.
- The dupatta carries its own botanical border running the full length, so it is never a plain drape.
- Opaque enough to stitch unlined, with a lining left as a choice rather than a cost.
The checkerboard
Squares of leaf motif alternate with fine vertical stripes in white and pale pink, so the dark blue ground reads as a grid rather than a scatter. At medium scale the pattern holds its shape from across a room and still rewards a close look.
Wearing it
The blue-and-white discipline of this one suits office and formal days particularly well. Keep the jewellery silver or oxidised and let the botanical dupatta border sit as the only ornament you need, or pick a pale pink thread from the print for your piping.
The details
Top: 2.5 metres, 44 to 45 inches wide
Bottom: 2.5 metres, 44 to 45 inches wide

Weight: 600 to 650 g for the top, bottom and dupatta together
Stitching: up to 4XL for a straight kurta set, with the length customisable for larger sizes

Because every impression is stamped by hand, small shifts in the print are part of the piece, not a fault in it.

How is the Chaupar checkerboard built up?
Squares of leaf motif alternate with fine vertical stripes in white and pale pink, so the dark blue ground reads as a grid rather than a scatter. The printer lines up a leaf block and a striped block against each other by eye, square by square, and the grid holds its shape from across a room.
Is the dupatta just a plain matching drape?
No. It carries its own botanical border running the full length, so it is never a plain drape. On a disciplined blue-and-white set like this, that border can be the only ornament the outfit needs.
Any tips before I hand it to my tailor?
Keep the cut simple so the squares run cleanly down the kurta. For piping, pick a pale pink thread from the print rather than a new colour. Silver or oxidised jewellery suits the blue-and-white palette better than heavy gold.
Will the dark blue bleed into the white stripes?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, so the white and pale pink areas stay clean. Dry clean it the first time, then a gentle cold hand wash is enough.
How does katan silk change a block print compared with cotton?
Silk takes the pigment with a soft lustre that a flat cotton never gives the same print, so the grid looks richer on katan. The printing itself is the same honest handwork: hand-carved wooden blocks stamped square by square in Bhagalpur, never screen printed.
Can the kurta be stitched without a lining?
Yes. The silk is opaque enough to stitch unlined, even with the white stripes in the print. A lining is optional, a choice you can make for the look you want rather than a cost you are forced into.
