About the colour

This is a greyish brown — a soft grey with a warm brown undertone, closer to taupe than to a cool steel grey. The trade name for this shade is mouse. It is a quieter colour than most festive wear, which is exactly why it works: it does not compete with heavy jewellery, it photographs well in daylight, and it carries from a function to an ordinary day out without looking like a festive suit worn out of season.

The cross stitch work

Cross stitch is worked as small X-shaped stitches that build up a motif — the same technique used in traditional hand embroidery samplers. It gives a textured, slightly geometric finish, quite different from the flowing lines of resham work or the shine of sequins. It is an unusual technique to find on an unstitched suit and it is what makes this piece distinct.

The fabrics

The shirt and dupatta are organza — crisp and lightweight with a soft sheen, holding their shape rather than falling close to the body. That structure suits embroidery: the fabric carries the weight of the work without pulling out of shape, and the raised texture of cross stitch reads clearly against the smooth organza surface. The bottom is art silk, which gives the stitched salwar or trouser a smooth drape and a subtle lustre.

Where to wear it

The restraint of the colour makes this a good daytime piece — a lunch function, a Gurudwara Sahib visit, a daytime wedding event, an office festive day, or a kitty party. It also works for an evening function if you pair it with stronger jewellery, since the suit itself will not compete.

Stitching this suit

The suit is supplied unstitched, so the neckline, sleeve length and fit are yours to decide. It can be stitched up to size 5XL. Organza is sheer, so most customers have the shirt stitched with a lining — worth settling with your tailor before work begins, along with where you want the cross stitch motifs to fall on the finished garment. StudioJazz offers a stitching service; share what you have in mind and we will discuss it with you. Unstitched orders are dispatched within 48 working hours; stitched orders take 7 to 15 working days depending on the work involved.

Care

Dry clean only. Hang the suit rather than folding it, and keep it away from rough jewellery and velcro that can catch the embroidery thread.

A note on colour

Natural variation in colour, texture and embroidery placement is characteristic of this kind of fabric and is not a defect. Organza carries a sheen, so this shade can read warmer or cooler depending on the light you see it in.

Frequently asked questions

What colour is this suit?

A greyish brown — a soft grey with a warm brown undertone, closer to taupe than to a cool steel grey. The trade name for this shade is mouse.

What is cross stitch embroidery?

Cross stitch builds a motif from small X-shaped stitches, the same technique used in traditional hand embroidery. It gives a textured, slightly geometric finish rather than the flowing lines of thread work.

Is the cross stitch embroidered or printed?

Embroidered. It is real stitch work, not a print made to look like one.

What are the pieces made of?

The shirt and dupatta are organza. The bottom is art silk.

Is the bottom real silk?

It is art silk — a silk-look fabric with a smooth drape and subtle lustre, not pure silk.

What's included and how much fabric?

Three pieces: organza shirt (2.5 m), art silk bottom (2.5 m), organza dupatta (2.5 m) — 7.5 metres in total.

Does organza need a lining?

Organza is sheer, so most customers have the shirt stitched with a lining underneath. Settle it with your tailor before stitching begins.

Is grey a good colour for a festive occasion?

It is the understated choice. It does not compete with heavy jewellery and photographs well in daylight, and unlike a bright festive colour it can be worn on ordinary days too.

Can this be stitched to my size?

It can be stitched up to size 5XL, and the neckline, sleeve length and fit are yours to choose.

Do you stitch it, and what does that cost?

Yes, StudioJazz offers stitching. Charges depend on the design and the amount of work involved — message us with what you have in mind and we will confirm the cost before you proceed.

How do I look after cross stitch embroidery?

Dry clean only. Hang rather than fold, and keep the suit away from rough jewellery and velcro that can catch the thread.
