Noor-e-Banaras Lichi Silk Brocade Weaving Mint Green Suit (T+B+D)

Does it come stitched?

No. The set comes as unstitched fabric in three pieces: a top, or kurta, piece of 2.5 to 3.0 metres, a bottom piece of 2.4 to 2.5 metres and a dupatta of 2.4 to 2.5 metres. That lets your tailor cut it to your measurements, with the neckline, sleeve and length you prefer.

How do I care for a pastel like mint?

Pastels show stains first, so dry cleaning is the safest choice. Blot spills quickly, store it wrapped in muslin away from sunlight and damp, and keep perfume off the fabric. If you hand-wash, use a mild detergent, wash it alone and dry it in the shade.

Is the design gold only, or multicolour?

Gold only. The teardrop-motif border and the small leaf buti are both in gold, so the soft mint does the talking. That makes the set easy to accessorise: any jewellery metal works, and one accent colour in a potli or juttis is enough.

What is lichi silk, and how does it feel?

Lichi silk is a type of Banarasi silk woven with the lichi technique. It's known for a smooth texture and a lustrous finish, and it often carries intricate zari work. It drapes with a regal look, which is why it's a favourite for dressier suits and sarees.

Can I wear the dupatta with other outfits?

Yes. At 2.4 to 2.5 metres, it's a full-length dupatta that can lift a plain kurta or a simple solid suit. Pair it with a neutral or a complementary shade so the dupatta stays the focus, and you have a second outfit from the same set.
