Embroidered Joyful Kota Doria Suit Blue (Top+Dupatta+Bottom)

Which colours go with the sky blue and white?

White is the classic partner for office. For festive days, mustard, pink or coral bring the blue to life; a bandhej dupatta from your wardrobe is an easy way to do that. Silver jewellery echoes the white embroidery best.

How much embroidery is on this suit?

Plenty. The top is covered all over in fine white embroidery of small flower medallions and curling vines. The sheer dupatta carries round floral medallions and finishes in a scalloped edge, so the set reads as white on blue from top to dupatta.

Will I get all three pieces?

Yes: top, bottom and dupatta. The top fabric is around 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 44 to 45 inches wide, the bottom around 2.4 to 2.5 metres and 42 inches wide, and the dupatta around 2.3 to 2.4 metres. All are unstitched.

Is the bottom fabric the same Kota Doria?

Yes, the fabric is Kota Doria. The bottom piece is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 42 inches wide, so it can become a palazzo, straight pant or churidar. Being sheer, it is worth lining.

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.

Who makes the suit?

The set is made at our own Indiehaat unit in Kota, Rajasthan, where master artisan Haq Nawaz oversees the work. Being handcrafted, no two pieces are absolutely identical; slight irregularities in the weave or stitching are the mark of hand processes, not faults.
