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

What sets this colourway apart?

It is a sunny pairing: a bright yellow body with a block of green leaf embroidery, set against an olive green dupatta. The two greens tie the pieces together, so it looks coordinated even though the kurta and dupatta are different colours.

How does the leaf embroidery sit on the kurta fabric?

Rows of outlined leaves are grouped together in one placed block, with small white and gold touches in the thread. The rest of the yellow stays clear, which keeps the outfit light and lets the embroidered block read as the main feature.

Is it stitched or unstitched?

Unstitched. The set has separate fabric for the top, the bottom and the dupatta, so it can be tailored to your size and preferred style. A straight cut keeps the leaf block centred.

What bottom style suits this set?

The bottom piece is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 42 inches wide, which is enough for straight pants or a regular salwar. A straight cut keeps the line long and clean under the leaf block, and the olive dupatta can then carry the contrast.

Is there a lining in the set?

No, only the top, bottom and dupatta fabrics are included. Bright yellow silk often looks smoother with a thin cotton lining underneath, so you may want to buy a little lining fabric in a matching light shade for your tailor.

Will the green dupatta affect the yellow fabric when washed?

Keep them apart. Wash the two separately, which matters most when a darker dupatta sits with a light kurta. Dry clean the first time, then hand wash gently in mild detergent and dry in the shade.
