Where would I wear this set?
Its first home is the office: linen and silk look put-together without feeling heavy. It also moves easily into evening dinners, festive gatherings when styled with some jewellery, and summer travel, where the breathable linen dupatta is easy to carry and wear.
Any tips for my tailor?
Ask your tailor for neatly finished seams so the kurta wears well. A straight or A-line kurta lets the plain top balance the dotted dupatta. Decide the neckline and sleeve length before cutting so the 2.4 to 2.5 metres is used well.
What makes this dupatta stand out?
It is a brown linen dupatta with pink and lime hexagon dots, a wide pink border with a lime edge, and pink tassels. Against the plain sea-green top, those pink accents lift the whole look, so a simple pair of earrings is often all you need.
How does the linen dupatta feel?
Pure linen comes from the flax plant and has a characteristic crisp texture with a natural lustre. It becomes softer and more supple with each wash, so the dupatta grows more comfortable over time, and it keeps you cool on warm days.
How do I care for it?
Dry clean the set if you can. For home washing, hand wash gently in a mild detergent, keep the top and dupatta apart from other clothes, and dry them in the shade to protect the hand-dyed colours.
Does it include salwar fabric?
No, the package has two pieces only: the Katan silk top fabric, 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 44 inches wide, and the linen dupatta, 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 32 to 33 inches wide. Pair it with a bottom you already own, or pick plain fabric in brown or sea green.
