Bandhani & Wax Batik Hand Dyed Khadi Silk Green Suit (T+B+D)

What does the print look like on this set?

The kurta carries a leafy paisley jaal outlined in cream over a moss-green ground. The dupatta is slate blue and blends into green towards the hem, finished with a cream medallion edge and tassels. That colour shift on the dupatta is what makes this set feel distinctive.

How are bandhani and wax batik combined here?

Both are hand resist techniques. Wax batik uses hand-applied wax to block the dye and form the pattern, while bandhani ties small sections of cloth with thread before dyeing. Bringing both onto one set gives a layered look, and since everything is done by hand, each piece varies a little.

Where does this set work best?

Its first home is the office, where the soft green and blue look polished. The paisley and the colour shift on the dupatta also make it right for festive days and mehndi functions, and it suits summer days and travel too.

What's included?

Three unstitched khadi silk pieces: fabric for the top (2.4 to 2.5 metres, 44 to 45 inches wide), the bottom (2.4 to 2.5 metres, 42 inches wide) and the dupatta (2.3 to 2.4 metres, 32 to 33 inches wide). Your tailor can make them to your fit.

Any tips for stitching the bottom?

The 42-inch-wide bottom length suits a churidar, salwar or straight pants. For festive wear, a slim churidar lets the paisley kurta and the graded dupatta take centre stage. For office days, straight ankle-length pants look sharper and pair easily with other kurtas too.

How should it be washed?

Gentle hand wash with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, which is the safest way to care for bandhani and batik. Do not soak or scrub, dry in shade, and press on the reverse with a medium iron.
