Navy blue blocked against bright green, for a true contrast dupatta.

A genuine contrast dupatta: bright green against navy, not a tonal match
Leaf-like geometry and circular medallions in gold and white
A lustrous silk surface that catches light along the panels

The contrast

This is colour blocking rather than shading. Dark navy blue meets bright green in wide, straight-edged panels, filled with repeating leaf-like geometry and circular medallion motifs picked out in gold and white. The dupatta prints densest, the top a little lighter, and the silk holds a visible lustre across both.

Styling

If you have been searching for a navy suit with a genuine contrast dupatta rather than a matching one, this is the set. Stitch a plain navy kurta and let the green dupatta stay untouched, or add a narrow green piping at the sleeve. Gold jewellery, given the accents. It moves easily from an office day to a festive evening.

The details

Top: 2.5 m, 44 to 45 inches wide
Bottom: 2.5 m, 44 to 45 inches wide

Weight: 600 to 650 g for all three pieces together
Stitching: tailor it to your exact fit, up to 4XL, with the length customised for larger sizes
Lining: not needed, the fabric is opaque; add one only to elevate the look

The medallions sit at slightly different intervals along the bands, as hand-stamped motifs do.
