Embroidered Gleaming Kota Doria White Suit (Top+Dupatta)

What colours are in the Gleaming embroidery?

Maroon and teal. Teal and maroon flowers form a floral yoke at the neck of the cream top, and the dupatta carries tiny embroidered sprigs. On the cream base, the pairing looks rich but not loud, and the rest of the top stays plain so the yoke stands out.

Which bottom suits maroon and teal?

A maroon churidar or pant makes the set look festive and grounded. Teal is brighter and feels summery. For office, an off-white or beige bottom keeps it calm and lets the yoke carry the colour.

Does it come with a bottom?

No. It is a two-piece set: top fabric and dupatta only. That works in your favour if you already own white or neutral salwars and palazzos, because the top and dupatta carry the embroidery and the bottom simply needs to sit quietly underneath. Pick a cotton bottom so the whole outfit stays breathable.

Is 2.4 to 2.5 metres of top fabric enough for a kurta?

For most sizes, yes. A width of 43 to 45 inches with about two and a half metres usually covers a knee or calf-length kurta with sleeves. If you want a long anarkali with a big flare, or you wear a larger size, show the fabric to your tailor before cutting.

Is Kota Doria pure cotton?

Not quite. Kota Doria is woven on traditional pit looms in Kota, Rajasthan, from a blend of cotton and silk yarns. It is known for its airy texture, delicate drape and fine checkered pattern, which you can see across the fabric.

Should the tailor add a lining?

Yes, we would recommend it. The weave is open and see-through by nature. A thin cotton lining, cut a little shorter than the kurta, gives the top enough body to hang neatly without making it warm. Lining fabric is not part of the set, so pick it up when you go to the tailor.
