Avi Roop Pure Kota Doria Blockprint Suit (T+B+D) Green

How dense is the floral print on the Avi Roop top?

Fairly dense. Sage green round blooms and mauve-brown vines cover the pale ground closely, with little empty space. It gives the top a rich, almost tapestry-like look, while staying soft in colour.

What does the dupatta look like?

The dupatta is finished with narrow floral border bands with green running through them. Keeping the borders narrow lets it stay light, so it complements the busier top rather than competing with it, and the green ties back to the sage blooms on the kurta.

Where can I wear it?

It is a good choice for the office, as the soft sage keeps a dense print looking calm. It also works at festive gatherings, an evening dinner, and a relaxed kitty party or brunch.

Which kurta styles work well?

Kota Doria has a crisp texture, so straight, A-line and flared kurtas all work. With a dense all-over print like this, a simpler cut with clean lines lets the fabric do the work.

How do I care for this suit?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes. Avoid soaking and wringing, and dry it in the shade to keep the print and the fine weave in good shape.

Why does the print vary slightly?

Every bloom and vine is stamped by hand with a wooden block, so small shifts in alignment and colour depth are natural. They are the marks of genuine hand block printing, and they make your piece a little different from the next.
