Design Details

• Zari work at the neckline of the shirt, worked as a long paisley placket panel
• Fine zari border along the shirt hem
• Multicolour bandhani dupatta in red, pink, orange and marigold
• Broad Banarasi woven borders running along the dupatta
• Plain orange silk muslin bottom to balance the worked dupatta

The Dupatta

This dupatta carries two crafts at once. The body is bandhani — tie-dye, where the cloth is tied in small points before dyeing so the pattern is made by the dye itself rather than printed on. The borders are Banarasi weaving, worked into the fabric on the loom. It is an unusual pairing, and it is what makes the dupatta the centrepiece of this set.

Stitching & Size

This is an unstitched suit set, so you can have it tailored exactly to your measurements. The fabric can be stitched up to size 5XL.

Occasion

Made for wedding functions and festive occasions, and a natural choice for Karva Chauth — for the sargi morning or for the evening itself. Orange and marigold are traditional festive colours, and the suit also suits mehendi, sangeet and family celebrations.

Care

Dry clean only. Store folded in a soft cotton bag, away from direct sunlight. Use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth, and avoid ironing directly over the zari.
