Gulnaar Organza Silk Gota Patti Suit (T+B+D) Set Off White

Where is the gota patti work on the Gulnaar set?

The gold gota patti forms flowers and trailing leaf vines around the neck yoke of the top, so the shine sits close to the face. The sheer organza dupatta is edged with a gold scalloped trim. On the off-white base, the gold reads soft and festive rather than heavy.

What exactly is in the set?

You get three unstitched fabrics: a top piece of 2.4 to 2.5 metres, a bottom piece of 2.0 to 2.25 metres, and a dupatta of 2.4 to 2.5 metres. The gota work on the yoke is already done, so your tailor builds the cut around it.

Will I need a lining for the top?

Yes, organza is sheer, so plan a lining with your tailor. A soft cotton or silk lining in off-white or a pale gold tone works well. Lining also keeps the back of the gota work away from your skin and helps the kurta hang neatly.

What should I tell my tailor?

Ask them to centre the neckline on the gota yoke and to finish the seams neatly. For the bottom, a straight pant or palazzo balances the light top. Press seams with a cloth in between, never directly on the gota, and plan a lining since the organza is sheer.

How do I care for the set?

Dry clean is preferred, and it also protects the gota's shine. If you hand wash, use cold water and a mild detergent, wash it separately, do not wring, and dry it in the shade. Iron on the reverse, keeping the iron off the gota.
