Rajsi Roop Maheshwari Silk Suit (T+D) Green

How does the teal top pair with the olive dupatta?

Teal and olive sit close on the colour wheel, so the set looks rich without shouting. The dupatta is striped in teal, which links it back to the top, and a thin gold edge adds a little light. A cream or teal bottom keeps it calm; a mustard or gold bottom warms it up.

How are the ends of the dupatta finished?

Each end has a gold zari edge, then a teal stripe band woven into the olive body, and the corners finish in tassels. It is a quiet, woven detail rather than heavy work, so it shows best when you let one end fall in front over the shoulder.

How much fabric do I get for the kurta, and what should I tell my tailor?

The top piece is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and comes unstitched, along with the dupatta. Share that length with your tailor before deciding the cut so they can plan the kurta length and sleeves together. Ask them to finish the seams neatly so the kurta wears well.

Does the top need a lining?

Maheshwari cotton silk is a lightweight weave, and a lining is not included in the set. A soft cotton lining gives the kurta more body and opacity and makes it sit better, which many people prefer for office wear. Pick a lining close to the teal so it does not show at the neckline or hem.

Is the dupatta long enough to drape in different ways?

At 2.4 to 2.5 metres it gives you room to drape it over one shoulder, across both shoulders, or pinned in a V at the front. The tasselled ends hang nicely when left loose, and the soft cotton silk fall means it does not stand stiff away from the body.

Why might my set look a little different from the photos?

Every set is woven by hand, so small irregularities in the weave or the stripe spacing are part of the craft and no two pieces are exactly alike. Colour can also look slightly different on different phone and laptop screens, so the teal and olive may read a touch warmer or cooler in person.
