A quiet dotted blue, with the dupatta doing all the decorating.

The long dupatta carries a dense dot field and a wide geometric border, against a deliberately restrained top.
Colour-fast, so the white and magenta stay off the dark blue on the first wash.
Stamped in Bhagalpur from hand-carved wooden blocks rather than a screen.

The dupatta

The top is left minimal, printed with small dots and geometric floral blocks in white and magenta on dark blue. The dupatta answers it with a much denser dot field and a wide rectangular border band along its edges, so the drape becomes the piece people look at.

Styling

A restrained top with a decorated dupatta is the easiest formula to wear to office and then straight to an evening function. Stitch the top plain and unfussy, keep the neckline simple, and let the bordered dupatta and a single magenta detail carry the outfit.

The details

Top: 2.5 metres, 44 to 45 inches wide
Bottom: 2.5 metres, 44 to 45 inches wide
Dupatta: 2.5 metres, 35 to 36 inches wide
Weight: 600 to 650 g for the top, bottom and dupatta together
Stitching: up to 4XL for a straight kurta set, with the length customisable for larger sizes
Lining: optional, as the fabric is opaque and needs none
Care: dry clean the first wash, then a gentle cold hand wash
Craft: hand block printed in Bhagalpur with hand-carved wooden blocks
Dispatch: printed by hand, and still dispatched the next working day

Because every impression is stamped by hand, small shifts in the print are part of the piece, not a fault in it.
