What is the design on the Misty Madhubani set?
Horizontal bands of Madhubani-style figures and arches in red, olive and grey run across a cream ground. The dupatta has small red buti and a dark green plain edge, so it is quieter than the top and balances the bolder bands.
How does the Madhubani print show on khadi silk?
The slub of khadi silk gives the printed lines a slightly soft, hand-drawn quality. The figures are block printed by hand, so line weight and colour depth vary a little across the bands, which suits the folk art style and makes each set its own.
How can I style the Misty Madhubani set?
Let the red, olive and grey figure bands lead. A straight kurta keeps the bands level, and the dark green dupatta edge can be echoed with green or oxidised jewellery. Neutral juttis and a small bag keep it smart for the office, brunch or a festive day.
How much fabric is in each piece?
Top: 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 44 to 45 inches wide. Bottom: 2.4 to 2.5 metres at 42 inches wide. Dupatta: 2.3 to 2.4 metres at 32 to 33 inches wide. All three come unstitched, so the cut and fit are your choice.
Can I wash it at home?
Yes, with a gentle hand wash in mild detergent. Wash it separately, which is the safest way to keep the red bands crisp on the cream, do not soak, and dry it in shade. Iron on the reverse at medium heat to protect the printed bands.
