Glimmering Green Kota Dori Suit (Top+Bottom+Dupatta)

How is this suit put together?

A deep bottle green top with white wavy dotted bands and a pearly gota flower yoke, paired with a cream dupatta carrying gota stripes and a green bandhani-look edge. The dark green and the pale cream balance each other, and the gota brings a soft shimmer to both.

What are the lengths?

The top and dupatta are 2.4 to 2.5 metres each, and the bottom fabric is 2.0 to 2.25 metres. All three come unstitched. Your tailor can cut it to your size and preferred silhouette.

Do I need a lining?

Yes, plan for one. Kota Doria is sheer, and a green cotton lining keeps the deep colour rich. A soft cotton or cambric lining keeps it breathable. Lining also helps the yoke sit flat and hold its shape.

Will the bandhej colour bleed?

To be safe, wash it separately from other clothes, by hand, with a mild detergent, and dry it in the shade. Store it folded with a soft cloth over the gota so it does not snag, and keep the cream dupatta away from the dark green pieces when wet.

Who makes it?

It is handcrafted at the IndieHaat unit in Kota, Rajasthan, with master artisan Haq Nawaz. The gota is applied by hand, so small variations from one piece to the next are normal.
