What shade of pink is it?
It is a rich magenta pink, with tonal floral chikankari on the yoke and small leaf butis. The dupatta pairs magenta with white and a touch of pale grey in a tie-dye pattern, so the set looks bright and cheerful.
What bottoms suit it?
White or ivory keeps the magenta fresh and picks up the white in the dupatta. A pale grey palazzo echoes the tie-dye for a softer look. For work, a navy or grey straight pant grounds the colour. Keep the bottom plain; the kurta and dupatta already carry plenty.
What comes in the package?
Two pieces: an unstitched kurta length of about 2.9 to 3.0 metres and a dupatta of about 2.4 to 2.5 metres. A bottom is not included, which leaves you free to pair the kurta with churidars, palazzos or straight pants you already own, in a shade picked from the dupatta.
Which kurta styles suit the fabric?
Chanderi is light with a fine, sheer texture, so straight, A-line and gently flared kurtas sit well. Keep the cut simple so the embroidered yoke stays the focus. A round or V neck with three-quarter sleeves works for office days; a longer length looks dressier with the dupatta spread open.
Will my set look exactly like the photo?
Very close, but not identical. The dupatta is dyed by hand, so the tie-dye pattern falls a little differently on every piece and the shade can vary slightly between batches. The chikankari is hand-embroidered too, and every screen shows colour differently. These variations are part of handmade work.
How should I care for it?
Dry cleaning is preferred, as it protects both the chanderi and the hand embroidery. If you do wash it, wash it on its own, gently, and dry it in the shade. Do not wring it, and iron on the reverse with a cloth between the iron and the chikankari.
