Blissful Katan Silk Madhubani Beige Suit (T+B+D)

What does the print on this suit show?

The cream top carries teal and mustard figures set in arched frames, with touches of black. Rows of figures are separated by geometric and leaf bands, and bird bands add movement. The Madhubani-style print covers the fabric all over, so the top makes the statement.

How do I style teal and mustard?

A teal or mustard bag or juttis pick up the print. Silver jewellery suits the teal; gold suits the mustard. Drape the dupatta over one shoulder so the printed top stays visible, and choose tan or neutral footwear to keep the look balanced.

What is included?

Three unstitched pieces: top fabric of about 2.4 to 2.5 metres by 44 to 45 inches, bottom fabric of about 2.4 to 2.5 metres by 42 inches, and a dupatta of about 2.3 to 2.4 metres by 32 to 33 inches. Everything you need for a full suit, ready for your tailor.

What is Madhubani block print?

It combines the motifs of Madhubani folk art from Bihar with block printing: artisans carve wooden blocks with Madhubani-inspired designs and press them onto the fabric. The designs often show scenes from nature, mythology or everyday life, giving the fabric a vibrant, detailed look.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean the first wash. After that, a gentle hand wash with a mild detergent is fine; wash the pieces separately and dry them in the shade. Iron on the reverse to protect the printed surface, and avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.

How should I drape the dupatta?

At about 2.3 to 2.4 metres by 32 to 33 inches, the dupatta suits a neat fold over one shoulder for work or an open drape across both shoulders to show the print. Katan silk has a smooth, slightly shiny surface, so a small pin at the shoulder keeps the fold in place.
