Handdyed Katan Silk Purple & Yellow Contrast Suit (T+B+D)

How does the mustard dupatta dip into wine?

The dupatta is mustard yellow for most of its length and then dips into the wine shade of the top at the end. The bottom is mustard too. So the wine top is the anchor, the mustard brings warmth, and the dipped end ties them neatly where the dupatta falls.

What are the shiny flecks on the top?

The wine-mauve top has fine vertical lines with small flecks that have a slight metallic look. They catch light softly as you move, which gives the top a little richness for evening wear without any heavy work on it.

Which occasions is it suited to?

Office and workwear lead, as the wine and mustard look rich yet restrained. It also moves easily into evening dinners and festive get-togethers, and travels well into summer plans when you want warm colour that is not too bright.

Is the suit stitched, and what is included?

It is unstitched. The set includes a top fabric of 2.4-2.5 metres at 44-45 inches wide, a 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, all in katan silk.

How do I wash it?

Dry clean for the first wash. After that, hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry in the shade. Treat the flecked top gently and avoid scrubbing so its surface stays smooth.

What kurta style suits the vertical lines?

Vertical lines lengthen the look, so a straight or long A-line kurta shows them well. Ask your tailor to align the lines at the centre and side seams. Mustard straight pants or a salwar keep the wine top as the focus.
