Bind & Bloom Yellow & Blue Shibori Kota Suit (T+B+D) Set

What does the top look like on this Bind & Bloom set?

Bright yellow fabric with teal Shibori bands and blotches running through it. The cool teal against the sunny yellow keeps the colour fresh rather than overpowering, and the uneven, hand-dyed bands give the kurta a relaxed, artisanal feel.

How does the dupatta work with it?

The dupatta is a sheer royal blue Kota with ends that fade into yellow. It brings the strongest colour of the set to your shoulders, while the yellow-fade ends link it back to the top. Drape it so the faded ends fall to the front to show the dye work.

Can I wear it to a haldi?

It is made for one. The yellow suits the haldi theme, and the blue dupatta keeps you from blending into everyone else in photos. After the wedding season, it carries over well to kitty parties and brunches, makes a cheerful office outfit, and works for festive days at home.

What do I get in the set?

You get a top piece, a bottom piece and a dupatta in Kota cotton, each 2.4 to 2.5 metres long. The top and bottom are left unstitched, so your tailor can cut them to your measurements and preferred style.

Will my set look exactly like the photo?

Very close, but not identical. Shibori is folded, bound and dyed by hand at our Kota unit, so the placement of the bands and the depth of the fade change slightly from set to set. Those small differences are part of hand dyeing, and they make your set one of its kind.

What bottom styles can I make from the fabric?

The 2.4 to 2.5 metre bottom length works well for straight pants, a simple salwar or a palazzo with moderate flare. A wide, heavily gathered sharara or a Patiala salwar may need more fabric, so discuss it with your tailor first. Lining the bottom is a good idea, since Kota is light and airy.
