It is stitchable to your own measurement up to size 5XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShirt\u003c\/strong\u003e — cotton satin, 2.5 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDupatta\u003c\/strong\u003e — cotton satin, 2.5 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom\u003c\/strong\u003e — cotton satin, 2.5 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-piece unstitched set, 7.5 metres in total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Ajrakh is, and what this suit is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAjrakh is a resist block-printing tradition from Kutch in Gujarat and Sindh across the border, practised for centuries by the Khatri community. The real process is extraordinary — the cloth passes through as many as sixteen stages of washing, resist-printing with mud and gum, and dyeing with natural indigo and madder, with the pattern built up layer by layer rather than applied in one pass. The geometry is distinctive: dense, symmetrical, built from repeating jaali and star forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis suit carries an \u003cstrong\u003eAjrakh-style print\u003c\/strong\u003e. It uses that visual language — the geometry, the density, the deep indigo-and-black palette — but it is not hand block printed in Kutch with natural dyes, and we are not going to imply that it is. Genuine Ajrakh costs several times this, and you would know it by the smell of the cloth and the softness of the dye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you get instead is the look of one of India's finest print traditions on a fabric that costs a fraction as much, said plainly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCotton satin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton satin is cotton woven in a satin structure rather than a plain one. The threads float across the surface before crossing under, which gives the face of the cloth a smooth, slightly lustrous finish while the reverse stays matte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice that means it feels smoother against the skin than a plain cotton, drapes with more weight, and holds a printed pattern with real depth of colour — the sheen makes black look properly black rather than washed out. It is less airy than an open-weave cotton like Kota, so it suits a mild day or an air-conditioned evening better than midday heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAll three pieces in one fabric\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShirt, dupatta and bottom are all cotton satin. That is less common than it sounds — most suits pair a soft top with a firmer synthetic bottom — and it means the finished suit hangs as one piece, with the same weight and the same sheen throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack with a dense geometric print reads as considered rather than festive, which makes this one of the more versatile pieces in the range. It suits an office day, a family dinner, a daytime function, a Gurudwara Sahib visit, a kitty party, or travel. The satin sheen lifts it enough for an evening without the suit becoming an occasion in itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStitching this suit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe suit is supplied unstitched, so the neckline, sleeve length and fit are yours to decide. It can be stitched up to size 5XL. Ajrakh-style geometry is a strong repeating pattern, so a simpler cut usually works better — heavy panelling interrupts the grid. Cotton satin also has a right and a wrong side, so tell your tailor which face you want showing before cutting. StudioJazz offers a stitching service; share what you have in mind and we will discuss it with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry clean only. Dry and store in shade — sunlight is harder on a printed fabric than washing is, and black shows fading sooner than most colours. Iron on the reverse to protect the satin face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDispatch and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnstitched orders are dispatched within 48 working hours of order confirmation.

Print placement on your piece may differ slightly from the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is Ajrakh?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAjrakh is a resist block-printing tradition from Kutch in Gujarat and from Sindh, built up over many stages of resist-printing and dyeing with natural indigo and madder. Its geometry is dense, symmetrical and highly distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this genuine hand block Ajrakh?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This is an Ajrakh-style print — it uses the visual language of the tradition but is not hand block printed in Kutch with natural dyes. Genuine Ajrakh costs several times this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is cotton satin?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton woven in a satin structure rather than a plain one. The threads float across the surface, which gives the face a smooth, slightly lustrous finish while the reverse stays matte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does it feel compared to plain cotton?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmoother against the skin, with more weight in the drape and more depth in the printed colour. It is less airy than an open-weave cotton, so it suits mild weather or an air-conditioned evening better than midday heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the three pieces made of?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three — shirt, dupatta and bottom — are cotton satin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's included and how much fabric?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree pieces of 2.5 metres each — shirt, bottom and dupatta — 7.5 metres in total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat should I tell my tailor?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat cotton satin has a right and a wrong side, so decide which face should show before cutting. With a strong repeating print, a simpler cut also works better than heavy panelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill the black fade?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack shows fading sooner than most colours. Dry clean only, and dry and store away from direct sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen will my order be dispatched?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin 48 working hours of order confirmation. Orders placed on a Sunday or a public holiday are processed the next working day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long will delivery take?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 to 7 business days across India once dispatched. So an unstitched order placed today typically reaches you within about a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs shipping free?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Free shipping applies to prepaid orders of Rs. 3,000 and above, and this set qualifies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo you offer Cash on Delivery?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, on orders up to Rs. 6,000 in value. A flat Rs. 150 shipping charge applies to COD orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan this be stitched to my size?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be stitched up to size 5XL, and the neckline, sleeve length and fit are yours to choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo you stitch it, and what does that cost?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, StudioJazz offers stitching.
