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

What does the dupatta look like?

The dupatta starts in sage green, matching the bottom, and fades into a soft cream. It is a gentle shift rather than a bold contrast, so it lightens the look and keeps the yellow top as the main colour.

What are the dark specks on the yellow top?

The top has fine horizontal lines with small dark flecks scattered through them, sitting on the slub of katan silk. They tone the yellow down slightly and give it a handmade, textured feel, so it does not look like a flat bright yellow.

When would I wear this?

Mainly to work, where yellow and sage look fresh but still sensible. It also suits a kitty party or brunch, summer days and travel, and festive gatherings, especially daytime ones where the soft greens and cream look their best.

What do I get in the set?

Three unstitched lengths of hand-dyed katan silk from Bhagalpur: the top at 2.4-2.5 metres by 44-45 inches, the bottom at 2.4-2.5 metres by 42 inches, and the dupatta at 2.3-2.4 metres by 32-33 inches.

Any styling idea when I get it tailored?

Let the yellow top be the hero with a simple straight kurta, and use the sage bottom for straight pants or a salwar. Since the lines run across, a slightly longer kurta keeps the look balanced. Light gold or pearl jewellery suits the yellow and cream.

Will the green bleed onto the cream?

Handle it gently, as all three colours are hand dyed. Dry clean the first wash. After that, hand wash the dupatta on its own in cold water, rinse quickly, and dry it in the shade so the cream end stays clean.
