Katan Silk Embroidered Gray & Pink Suit (T+B+D)

What makes this colourway different?

It pairs a cool slate grey kurta fabric with a rose pink dupatta. The grey body carries red oval flower motifs in a placed block, and the dupatta has dark floral motifs, so each piece echoes the other's colours in reverse.

What is on the dupatta?

The dupatta has dark floral motifs scattered over a rose pink base, with tassels at the ends. It is the brighter of the two pieces, so it brings colour close to the face while the grey kurta stays calm.

Is the suit stitched?

No, you receive unstitched fabric for the top, the bottom and the dupatta. It is made to measure by your tailor. Pick the kurta length, sleeve style and neckline you prefer, and the red motif block can be placed at the front.

What can I make from the bottom piece?

The bottom piece comes with the set and measures 2.4 to 2.5 metres by 42 inches, enough to plan straight pants or a salwar. A simple straight cut keeps the look sleek for the office and lets the rose pink dupatta carry the colour.

What jewellery suits grey and pink?

Silver and oxidised jewellery suit the cool grey best, and rose gold works nicely with the pink dupatta. For an office day, small studs are enough. For an evening, a statement silver jhumka ties the two colours together.

How should I wash it?

Have it dry cleaned the first time. Later washes can be done by hand with a mild detergent, keeping the pink dupatta apart from the grey fabric. Dry in the shade.
