What is the print like on this set?
The set is covered in small white floral sprigs, hand block printed in an all-over buti layout on a deep orchid-pink ground. The small scale keeps it neat and youthful, and narrow white bands at the hem and cuffs repeat the white of the print for a tidy finish.
How does the dupatta work with the set?
The dupatta is in lilac, a cool, soft contrast to the saturated pink. It keeps the outfit from looking all one colour and gives you a different shade around the shoulders in photos. It measures 2.4 to 2.5 metres, enough to drape over one shoulder or across both arms.
Where can I wear it?
It is made first for sangeet nights, where the full skirt is ideal for dancing. It fits just as well into festive gatherings, mehndi afternoons and haldi mornings, since the cotton keeps you comfortable through long functions.
Is it stitched, and what sizes are available?
Yes, it is a stitched set. The choli comes in sizes 36 to 46 (S to XXXL) with a top length of 15 to 16 inches, so it sits as a short, cropped blouse above the skirt. Choose by your bust measurement for the best fit.
How do I wash the set?
Dry cleaning is preferred, especially for the first wash. If you hand wash, use a mild detergent, wash the set separately, and don't soak it. Dry it in the shade, inside out, so the hand block print keeps its colour for longer.
How much flare does the skirt have?
The lehanga has a 5.5 metre flare made of 28 kalis, the panels that give it its fullness, so the skirt has a generous, flared shape with room to move. It is made in pure cotton, a fabric known for its softness and breathability, which helps through long functions.
