Wax Batik Hand Dyed Khadi Silk Pink Suit (T+B+D)

What does the batik pattern look like on this set?

A dense jaal of olive-green leaves and cream blooms covers the top, so the whole kurta reads as a rich, leafy all-over pattern. The dupatta is lighter, with scattered motifs and a floral band at the hem, which balances the busy top and keeps the full outfit from feeling heavy.

How is wax batik made, and why does every piece differ?

In wax batik, parts of the fabric are covered with wax by hand and then dyed, so the waxed areas resist the colour and form the pattern. It is a highly skilled, time-consuming craft, and because every step is done by hand, no two pieces come out identical.

What is in the set, and is it stitched?

It is an unstitched set of three khadi silk pieces: a top of 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 44 to 45 inches wide, a bottom of 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 42 inches wide, and a dupatta of 2.3 to 2.4 metres at 32 to 33 inches wide.

What should I tell my tailor?

With a dense all-over jaal, the pattern hides seams well, so you can choose a straight or A-line kurta without worrying about matching motifs. Keep the neckline simple, as the print does the talking. The 42-inch-wide bottom fabric works for a salwar, straight pants or palazzos.

How does khadi silk feel to wear?

Khadi silk has a gentle slub texture and a soft lustre, blending the feel of khadi with the sheen of silk. It sits comfortably through a full day, which makes it easy to wear for work, brunch and summer outings without feeling fussy.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent, always separately, as that is the safest way to care for hand-dyed batik. Do not soak or wring it, and dry it in shade so the colours stay rich. A medium iron on the reverse keeps the khadi silk texture smooth.
