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

What is the pattern on the top?

A geometric flower lattice, small blooms caught inside an angular grid, worked in a soft mauve-brown on a light ground. It reads gentle rather than bold, and the hand-waxed lines give the geometry a soft, slightly irregular edge that shows the handwork.

How do the rose-pink bottom and dupatta change it?

The pink brings warmth to the muted top and makes the set feel fresh. The dupatta has lattice and zigzag bands at the ends that tie both colours together, with tassels to finish. Warm metals such as gold-toned or copper jewellery sit well with this palette.

Any tips for stitching this set?

Kota Doria has a crisp feel and soft drape, so straight kurtas, A-lines and short kurtis all look neat in it. Ask your tailor to line the kurta, since the fabric is slightly sheer. The bottom comes as about 2.4 to 2.5 metres, so discuss straight pants, palazzos or a salwar with your tailor before cutting.

Can the pink bleed onto the lighter top?

Hand-dyed batik should always be washed separately. Wash the pink bottom and dupatta apart from the top, in cold water with a mild detergent, and do not leave them soaking. Dry each piece in shade and keep them apart while damp to protect the light ground of the top.

Where does the Rooh Rang set fit best?

Summer and travel come first: it is light, airy and easy to pack. It is equally at home at the office, as everyday wear, or at a kitty party or brunch where you want something pretty but relaxed.
