Embroidered Serene Khadi Cotton Peach Suit (T+B+D) Piece

What do the bud motifs look like up close?

Each motif is a tiny bud in yellow or lilac on a fine black stem, scattered across the coral-pink fabric. The black stems give the pattern definition, so even though the buds are small, they read clearly rather than blurring into the base. The whole effect is delicate and light.

Will the black detailing make it look dark?

Not at all. The black appears only as thin stems on very small motifs, so the coral pink stays the main colour. The black simply sharpens the design and gives you an easy styling cue: black juttis, a black bag or black beaded earrings tie the look together neatly.

How should I drape the dupatta?

At 2.3 to 2.4 metres by 32 to 33 inches, it suits a single-shoulder drape for work, or an open drape across both shoulders for a gathering. Tassels finish the ends. Pin it at the shoulder if you are on the move.

Will my piece look exactly like the pictures?

Very close, but not identical. Minor irregularities are part of handcrafted products, so the spacing of motifs or the texture of the khadi can vary slightly from piece to piece. Colour may also look a shade different depending on your screen.

What can I stitch the bottom fabric into?

The bottom piece is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 42 inches wide. It can be stitched as straight pants, cigarette pants, a salwar or palazzos with a gentle flare. Straight pants keep the look crisp for the office, while palazzos make it more relaxed for weekends.
