Rooprekha Jamdani Cotton Suit (T+B+D) Bright Yellow

What's the design on the Rooprekha suit?

The bright yellow top has a woven floral band in orange and olive near the hem, with small flowers scattered across it in touches of pink and navy. The dupatta is finished with green edges. It's sunny and cheerful, with a light slub texture.

Do I need a tailor for it?

Yes, it comes unstitched: a 3 to 3.1 metre top, a 2.4 to 2.5 metre bottom and a 2.4 to 2.5 metre dupatta. That gives you the freedom to choose your kurta length, neckline and bottom style.

What colours go with the Rooprekha suit?

Orange, olive green and pink, all taken from the woven flowers, make easy accents, and navy picks up the small touches in the butis. A green bag ties it together. Silver or oxidised jewellery suits the look, and gold works for festivals.

How should I wash it?

Wash it separately by hand with a mild detergent, and dry it in the shade. Cool water and a short soak are kind to the woven motifs, and pressing the water out gently rather than wringing helps keep the cotton smooth.

Where does the Rooprekha range come from?

It's sourced directly from Rashmi, a weaver in Udhna, Gujarat. The suits are pure cotton with jamdani motifs woven in by hand, and slight variations in texture are part of their handmade character.

Will the kurta need a lining?

Not necessarily, since pure cotton is soft and comfortable on the skin. If the top looks see-through against the light, or you want a crisper fall, ask your tailor for a thin cotton lining. Lining fabric is not part of the set, so buy it with the stitching.

Which settings does it fit best?

It suits workwear well, thanks to the soft, breathable comfort of pure cotton through long hours. It also works for kitty lunches and brunches, and for festive occasions when you add jhumkas and a full dupatta drape.
