Gulmohar Slub Linen Lavender Unstitched Suit (T+B+D)

How does the white embroidery stand out?

The neck yoke has ornate white floral embroidery that looks crisp against the lavender base. Small leaf butis are scattered over the rest of the top fabric. The contrast is clean and fresh, without being heavy or loud.

What is the dupatta like?

The dupatta carries a silver stripe along its edge and tassels at the ends. It adds a light touch of shine to the set, which works nicely with the white embroidery on the top.

Is this suit only for festive occasions?

Not at all. It is neat and easy to wear on workdays at the office, and it also suits a kitty party or brunch with friends. It works for summer travel too, and with some jewellery it can be dressed up for festive gatherings.

How much fabric do I get for each piece?

Each of the three unstitched pieces, the top, bottom and dupatta, is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres long. This gives your tailor a generous length to work with for the kurta and bottom style of your choice.

How do I care for the suit after stitching?

Dry cleaning is preferred, especially to keep the white embroidery bright. If you wash it at home, hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry it in the shade. Iron on the reverse side of the embroidery.
