Rajsi Roop Maheshwari Silk Suit (T+D) Red & Beige

How does the khaki dupatta work with the red top?

The khaki-brown dupatta is an earthy, muted partner for the red, so the set feels warm rather than loud. The dupatta's red-and-gold striped border picks up the top, and the gold zari edge adds a little shine. It suits people who like red but prefer it toned down.

What does the dupatta border look like?

The khaki dupatta ends in a gold zari edge with a red stripe band beside it, and tassels at the corners. It is a woven border, so it stays soft and light on the shoulder, and the red band is what links the dupatta back to the top.

Will I need a lining?

No lining comes with the set, and the cotton silk is lightweight. A red cotton lining gives the kurta more body and a smoother fall. Whether you need one depends on how fitted you want the kurta and where you plan to wear it.

How much fabric is there for the top?

The top piece is 2.4 to 2.5 metres of unstitched fabric, and the dupatta is 2.4 to 2.5 metres. Share the top length with your tailor before choosing sleeves and kurta length so they can plan the cut. Bottom fabric is not part of the set.

Is it breathable enough for warm days?

Yes. Maheshwari cotton silk is handwoven in Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh, and is lightweight and breathable, so it is comfortable on warm days. The cotton in the blend keeps it airy, while the silk gives it a soft sheen, which makes it easy to wear regularly.

How do I care for it?

Handwash it gently with a mild detergent and wash it separately, since red and khaki can release some dye. Do not wring; press the water out and dry it in shade. Iron on medium heat with a cloth over the zari edge.
