Striking Katan Silk Kalamkari Beige Suit (T+B+D)

Where is the print on this suit?

The top is plain, so all the pattern sits on the dupatta: a cream ground with maroon script-style lettering and striped panels. It is a calm, neutral set where the dupatta does the talking and the kurta stays clean and easy to wear.

How can I style the plain top?

The plain beige works like a blank canvas. Pick up the maroon from the dupatta with a bindi, lipstick or a bag, or wear oxidised silver for a quieter look. The top also pairs well with printed dupattas you already own, so it earns extra wears.

Is it ready to wear, and how much fabric do I get?

It comes unstitched in three pieces: top fabric of 2.4–2.5 metres at 44–45 inches wide, bottom fabric of 2.4–2.5 metres at 42 inches wide, and a dupatta of 2.3–2.4 metres at 32–33 inches wide, ready for your tailor.

Which cut suits a plain kurta?

With plain fabric, the neckline and small details carry the look. Try a deep round or V neck with piping, side slits, or a band collar for office. With 2.4–2.5 metres at 44–45 inches wide, your tailor can plan the sleeves and length around your measurements.

How large is the dupatta, and how should I drape it?

It is 2.3–2.4 metres long and 32–33 inches wide, a comfortable everyday size. It drapes neatly over one shoulder for work, or open across both shoulders when you want the script print and stripes to show in full.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean it the first time. After that, hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent, separately, and dry in the shade. Wash the printed dupatta on its own so the maroon stays off the beige top, and iron on low heat from the reverse.
