Glimmering Orange Kota Dori Suit (Top+Bottom+Dupatta)

What does the gota yoke look like?

A dense yoke of gold gota work fills the neckline, set against the warm amber-yellow kurta fabric. The fabric itself carries a wavy bandhej-look pattern of bands and dots in cream throughout, so the shimmering yoke stands out clearly against it.

What is the dupatta like?

It is a pale gold dupatta with rows of shimmering gota stripes across it and an amber printed edge. It measures 2.4 to 2.5 metres, so it drapes easily over one or both shoulders, and the gota catches the light when you move.

Should I line the kurta?

Yes. Kota Doria is a sheer, lightweight weave with an open check, so a thin cotton lining makes the kurta comfortable and opaque. Lining is not part of the set, so pick one up when you take the fabric to your tailor.

Is it unstitched?

Yes. The top and dupatta are 2.4 to 2.5 metres each, and the bottom is 2.0 to 2.25 metres, all unstitched. Check the lengths with your tailor before choosing a very long or flared kurta.

How should I wash it?

Gently by hand with a mild detergent, and dry it in the shade. Wash it on its own, especially the first few times, and don't wring or scrub the gota yoke, so the gold work stays neat and bright.
