Katan Silk Embroidered Green & Blue Suit (T+B+D)

What pattern does the kurta fabric have?

A vertical leaf trellis runs up the light green fabric, with a plain band along the lower edge. The upright lines give a tall, slimming look once stitched, and the plain band makes a natural hem for your tailor to work with.

How does the dupatta differ from the kurta?

The dupatta is a deep teal-blue with its own leaf embroidery. Draped over one shoulder, the darker dupatta frames the lighter kurta and gives the outfit clear contrast, while the soft sheen of the fabric keeps the look polished.

What will I find in the package?

Unstitched fabric for a top, a bottom and a dupatta. The top measures 2.4 to 2.5 metres by 44 to 45 inches, the bottom 2.4 to 2.5 metres by 42 inches, and the dupatta 2.3 to 2.4 metres by 32 to 33 inches.

How should my tailor use the plain lower band?

Ask your tailor to place the plain band at the hem of the kurta so it acts as a border, with the leaf trellis running above it. Show them the whole top piece before cutting, as the band position decides the kurta length.

Which bottom style suits this set?

Straight pants or narrow cigarette pants keep the vertical trellis lines unbroken and look neat for work. A softly gathered salwar suits a brunch outing. The 42-inch-wide bottom piece gives enough room for either.

How do I wash the light kurta and the teal dupatta?

Separately, every time. Dry clean the set for the first wash, then hand wash gently with a mild detergent. Dry in the shade, away from direct sun. Washing the darker dupatta on its own protects the light green kurta fabric.
