Rooh Rang Kota Doria Wax Batik Suit (T+B+D) Mustard

What is the paisley pattern like?

Dense cream paisley swirls cover an amber kurta, curling into each other so there is little plain ground left. The effect is warm and rich, and because the swirls are drawn in wax by hand, no two curves are quite identical.

Why a maroon bottom?

Maroon deepens the warm amber of the kurta, so the set looks rich and tonal rather than contrasting. The dupatta carries a swirl band and tassels, linking it back to the paisley on the top.

Can I wear this to a haldi?

Yes. The warm amber with cream swirls sits naturally at a haldi, and the light cotton keeps you comfortable through a long morning function. It also works for the office, for summer travel and for everyday wear, since Kota Doria is light and breathable.

What comes in the set?

Three unstitched lengths of pure cotton Kota Doria: 2.4 to 2.5 metres for the top, 2.4 to 2.5 metres for the bottom and 2.3 to 2.4 metres for the dupatta. Your tailor can cut it to your measurements and style.

What kurta style suits a dense swirl print?

A busy all-over print looks best in a simple shape: a straight or slightly flared kurta with a plain round or V neck. Let the paisley do the work and keep extra panels and trims to a minimum.

Will the colour run when washed?

Hand-dyed batik is best washed on its own. Wash each piece separately by hand in cold water with a mild detergent, don't leave it soaking, and dry it in shade. Press the water out gently rather than wringing, and iron on the reverse.
