It is slower than printing or embroidery — each piece is cut, positioned and stitched down individually — and it gives a result you can feel as well as see: raised edges, layered texture, and a definition no printed motif reproduces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere embroidery adds thread to a surface, applique adds cloth to cloth. That is why an applique piece has more physical presence than a printed one, and why the cost sits in the hours of work rather than in the metres of fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplique on mul cotton\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMul is a soft, light, breathable cotton weave — the fabric you reach for when the day is long and warm. Pairing it with applique does something unusual: most suits with this much surface work sit on organza or silk, which look considerable but wear hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere the decoration is substantial and the base is not. You get a suit that reads as an occasion piece and still breathes through an afternoon in the sun, which is a combination the catalogue does not offer often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLavender is a soft, cool purple — gentler than a jamun or a deep violet, and unusual enough in ethnic wear that it does not blend into a room full of reds and golds. It sits well with silver and with oxidised jewellery, and it photographs particularly cleanly in daylight, where stronger purples can go flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA daytime piece rather than an evening one. It suits a summer function, a mehendi or haldi, a family lunch, a daytime wedding event, a Gurudwara Sahib visit, a kitty party or an office festive day. The applique lifts it enough for an occasion; the mul keeps it wearable through a long one.\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. Mul is soft and moves well, so it takes both a flowing A-line and a straight-cut shape comfortably. Decide with your tailor before cutting where the applique motifs should fall on the finished shirt — they are fixed on the fabric, so the cut determines everything. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry clean only. Applique is stitched fabric, so avoid ironing directly over the motifs and do not pull or wring the cloth — tugging can loosen the stitching that holds the shapes in place. Store in shade; lavender is a pale shade and shows fading sooner than a dark one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDispatched within 48 working hours of order confirmation and delivered across India in 3 to 7 business days.

Because applique is cut and stitched piece by piece, small differences between one suit and the next are inherent to the technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is applique work?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplique is the technique of cutting shapes from one fabric and stitching them onto another to build a motif. It gives raised, layered texture rather than a flat printed surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow is applique different from embroidery?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmbroidery adds thread to a fabric. Applique adds fabric to fabric — cut shapes stitched down onto the base cloth — so the result has more physical presence and body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this printed at all?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The decoration is applique work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the three pieces made of?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shirt and dupatta are mul cotton. The bottom is santoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is mul cotton?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMul is a soft, light, breathable cotton weave. It sits gently against the skin and stays comfortable through a long day in warm weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is santoon?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSantoon is a soft, smooth fabric with an easy fall, commonly used for the bottom of a suit because it stitches and drapes well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this comfortable in summer?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Mul cotton is breathable, which makes this more wearable in heat than most suits carrying this much surface work — applique usually sits on organza or silk, which look considerable but wear hot.\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\u003eWhere will the applique motifs sit on my stitched suit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat depends on how it is cut. The motifs are fixed on the fabric, so decide placement with your tailor before cutting begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I care for applique?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry clean only. Do not iron directly over the motifs, and avoid pulling or wringing the fabric, as tugging can loosen the stitching.\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. Charges depend on the design and the amount of work involved — message us and we will confirm the cost before you proceed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo you ship internationally?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudioJazz has shipped to 13 countries.
