Pankhudi Embroidered Kota Cotton Serene White Suit (Top+Dupatta)

What accent colours are on this set?

Green and teal lead, with touches of yellow. They fill the dense embroidered yoke at the neckline and repeat in the small flowers scattered over the white top. The sheer dupatta is finished with a gold edge, so the whole set feels cool and coordinated.

What lining colour goes under it?

A skin-toned or off-white cotton lining is the best choice. It hides undergarment lines through the airy weave without making the white look grey or tinted. Have the lining cut slightly shorter than the kurta so it does not peep out at the hem.

Is it stitched or unstitched?

Unstitched. You get the embroidered top fabric and the dupatta, each around 2.4 to 2.5 metres, and you have the kurta made to your measurements and style. No bottom fabric comes with it, which leaves you free to pair it with what you already own.

Is it easy to care for?

Yes. Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, on its own, and dry it in the shade. Iron on low heat with a muslin cloth over the embroidery to protect it, and store it folded in a breathable cotton or muslin cloth.

Is Kota cotton the same as Kota Doria?

They come from the same weaving town, Kota in Rajasthan, and share the signature checked weave called khats. Kota cotton, as used here, is pure cotton, which makes it soft, durable and ideal for hot climates. Its airy weave is widely used in sarees and dupattas.

Who crafts it?

It is handcrafted at our Indiehaat unit in Kota, Rajasthan, where master artisan Haq Nawaz leads the work. Kota is home to the checked khat weave, so the fabric is made close to where its tradition began.
