Pankhudi Blissful Blue Kota Cotton Embroidered Suit (T+D)

What does the Pankhudi embroidery look like?

Pink tulips with green leaf vines, outlined in dotted stitches, form a band along the hem of the aqua-blue top, with small sprigs scattered above. Pink on aqua is a cheerful contrast that still looks fresh for office days, and the sheer dupatta keeps the look light.

What bottom works with it?

White for a crisp office look, navy for a tonal one. For festive days and office parties, a pink bottom picks up the tulips. Silver jewellery suits blue naturally; rose-gold works with the pink.

Does the set include a bottom?

No, it is a top and dupatta set. That lets you choose the bottom: a straight cotton pant for office, or a palazzo or churidar for festive days. Both pieces are about 2.4 to 2.5 metres long, and both come unstitched.

Does Kota cotton need a lining?

Usually yes. The checked weave is airy, which keeps it cool but also makes it slightly see-through, especially in light shades. A soft cotton lining in a skin tone or a matching colour keeps the kurta modest. Lining is not part of the set.

What is Kota cotton like?

Kota cotton comes from Kota in Rajasthan and is known for its signature checked weave called khats. It is pure cotton, so it is soft, durable and lightweight, and it breathes well, which makes this suit very comfortable in hot weather and on summer travel.

How should I wash it?

Gently, by hand, with a mild detergent. Wash it separately and dry it in the shade. Avoid wringing the embroidered parts; press out water with a towel instead. Iron on a medium setting from the reverse side, keeping direct heat off the embroidery.
