Katan Silk Incandescent Embroidered Biege Suit (T+B+D)

What does the buti on this set look like?

Tiny flower buti in pink, orange and navy thread are spread evenly over a sand-coloured base. Because the ground is so soft, the three thread colours give the fabric a gentle, speckled look, and the slub texture of the Katan silk keeps it from looking flat.

Is the dupatta heavily bordered?

No, it is kept light. The dupatta has only a faint silver stripe along its edge, plus tassels at the ends. It sits quietly with the kurta, which makes the whole set easy to wear for long hours.

What occasions suit this set?

It is first an office and workwear set, neat and understated for meetings and daily commutes. The light base is easy to wear in warm weather and on summer trips. It also suits a kitty party or brunch, and with a statement earring it carries into an evening dinner.

Is the suit stitched or unstitched?

Unstitched. You get separate fabric for the top, the bottom and the dupatta, so your tailor can make it to your exact measurements and the style you prefer. Nothing is pre-cut.

Will I need lining for the kurta?

No lining fabric is included in the set. With a light-coloured silk top, many buyers prefer to have their tailor add a thin cotton lining for comfort and fuller coverage. Pick a lining shade close to the base so it stays invisible.

How do I keep it looking fresh?

Start with a dry clean for the first wash. After that, hand wash gently with a mild detergent, on its own, and dry it in the shade. Avoid harsh scrubbing, especially over the embroidered buti.
