How does the green dupatta suit a taupe top?
Taupe is an earthy neutral, so the bright green dupatta becomes the clear focus and looks fresh against it. The dupatta's small round gold dots and gold edge add a little shine. It is a lively combination that still feels easy enough to wear to work.
Can I make the top look dressier?
Yes, through tailoring. Ask for green piping at the neckline, gold buttons or a contrast band at the hem, and pair it with gold jewellery. The plain taupe Tussar takes these details well, and the green dupatta does the rest.
What is included with the set?
An unstitched length of Silkmark certified Tussar silk for the top and a Katan silk dupatta. Bottoms are not included, so pick palazzos, straight pants or a churidar in taupe, beige or green to complete the look.
How can I drape the green dupatta?
For office hours, fold it into narrow pleats and pin it on one shoulder so the taupe top stays in view. For an evening dinner or a festive gathering, open it across both shoulders so the gold dots and gold edge catch the light. A loose drape around the neck suits a relaxed kitty party or brunch.
How do I care for the set?
Only dry cleaning, please. Keep each piece in its own bag in a dry spot, shift the folds now and then to avoid permanent creases, and give the silk fresh, dry air occasionally. Dry it in the shade if it ever gets damp.
Why is Bhagalpur known for Tussar?
Bhagalpur produces so much Tussar silk that the fabric is often called Bhagalpur silk. The thread comes from a wide-winged moth that is yellowish-brown in colour. The Tussar for this top is Silkmark certified, and the set comes from Bhagalpur, paired with a Katan silk dupatta.
