You can run a finger along it and feel where it sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is exactly what an ivory suit needs. On an off-white ground there is no colour contrast to carry a design, so the work has to be visible by its shape. Raised cord catches light along its edges and throws a faint shadow, which is how the pattern reads at all. Flat thread embroidery in ivory-on-ivory would almost disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIvory is the hardest colour to get right\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn off-white cotton has nowhere to hide. There is no print to break up the surface and no depth of colour to disguise a coarse weave — the fabric has to be good, because the fabric is all you are looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMul is the answer to that. It is the finest cotton weave we stock, and on an ivory ground the fineness is visible rather than implied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout mul cotton\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMul is soft, fine and genuinely breathable — the fabric for real heat, not the one that only claims to be. It creases, as fine cotton does, and softens with every wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottom is taffeta rather than mul, which gives a salwar or trouser the body it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho this suit is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaytime functions in warm weather where understatement is the point — a puja, a morning wedding event, a formal lunch. Ivory takes gold, pearl and oxidised silver equally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot the one if you are hard on your clothes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ivory shows everything and this is dry clean only. If you want something forgiving, our black or brown mul suits are the better answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStitching\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStitching is a separate service, charged on top of the fabric price. Message us with what you need and we will confirm the cost and the timeline. Stitched orders take 7–15 working days before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDry clean only.\u003c\/strong\u003e Mul cotton on its own could take a gentle hand wash, but dori work cannot — the cord is stitched down and pulls loose when the fabric is tugged or wrung.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNever iron directly over the dori.\u003c\/strong\u003e The cord is raised, so an iron flattens it — and once flattened, the shadow that makes the pattern visible is gone. Press around the work, or from the reverse with a cloth in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady stock, dispatched within 48 working hours. Delivery in 3–7 business days across India with a tracking link. Free shipping on prepaid orders of ₹3,000 and above — this suit qualifies. Cash on Delivery is available at a flat ₹150.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is dori work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCord stitched onto the fabric to form a pattern. It sits raised above the surface, unlike flat thread embroidery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is dori different from thread embroidery?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread embroidery is stitched into the surface and sits flat. Dori is a cord laid on top and stitched down, so it stands proud and casts a faint shadow — which is how the pattern shows on a pale ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does that matter on an ivory suit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause there is no colour contrast. Ivory-on-ivory flat embroidery barely registers; raised cord reads through light and shadow instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the fabrics?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMul cotton for the shirt and dupatta, taffeta for the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I iron it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot over the dori — an iron flattens the cord and you lose the raised effect permanently. Press around it, or from the reverse with a cloth in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wash this at home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Dry clean only. Mul alone would take a gentle hand wash, but the dori cord pulls loose when the fabric is tugged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs ivory practical to own?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLess forgiving than a dark colour, honestly. It shows marks and it is dry clean only. It is bought for how it looks rather than how it wears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs mul cotton good for summer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Mul is the finest, lightest cotton weave and it genuinely breathes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it crease?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Mul cotton is a fine weave and creases readily — characteristic of the fabric, not a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much fabric is included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.5 metres each for the shirt, bottom and dupatta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this suit stitched?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, it is unstitched — three fabric pieces. Stitching is available from us as a separate paid service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the largest size it can be stitched to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this qualify for free shipping?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Free shipping applies to prepaid orders of ₹3,000 and above, and this suit is ₹5,750.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Cash on Delivery available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, at a flat ₹150 charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen will it arrive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDispatch within 48 working hours, then 3–7 business days in India. Add 7–15 working days if you order stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I return it if I change my mind?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. We do not accept returns for change of mind.
