Rooh Rang Kota Doria Wax Batik Suit (T+B+D) Bold Red

What does the diamond lattice look like on this kurta?

A medium diamond lattice in red and pink runs over the kurta, with white lines marking each diamond. The wax lines are drawn by hand, so the grid has a slight, natural wobble that shows the handwork.

How does the bottom balance it?

The navy bottom carries round white medallions, so it brings both a cooler colour and a rounder motif against the angular top. Together they look planned rather than matched, and the white in both prints keeps them connected.

Where would I wear this?

It is suited to the office and workwear first, with enough colour to feel cheerful through the week. Summer travel, everyday wear and a kitty party or brunch all suit it too, thanks to the light, breathable cotton.

What's the dupatta like?

Shaded, with white zigzag bands and tassels at the ends. Sheer and light, it can be draped on one shoulder for work or spread across both for a fuller look, and the zigzags add a lively edge to the set.

Can I stitch the bottom as palazzos?

The bottom fabric is 2.4 to 2.5 metres long. Share your palazzo design with your tailor before cutting so they can check it against the length, or choose straight pants to show off the white medallions. Lining the bottom is a good idea, as Kota Doria is sheer.

How do I wash the red and navy?

Wash the kurta and bottom separately in cold water with a mild detergent, as both are hand-dyed. Don't let them soak, press the water out gently, and dry in shade so the white lines stay clean.
