Red Tulip Block Print Katan Silk Suit, Framed Dupatta | Phuhaar
Upright tulips, a motif made for a long straight kurta.
The tulips print in teal and pale gold, one block at a time.
Stylised tulips repeat in teal and pale gold across a vivid red field.
Why this piece
- Tulip forms rather than the usual buti - an upright motif that suits a long straight kurta.
- Colour-fast, so teal and gold hold their edges against the red in the wash.
- Complete set at 2.5 metres a piece, stitchable up to 4XL.
The motif
The tulip shapes stand upright in tidy rows, broken here and there by linear floral sprays. Because the motif has a clear top and bottom, the print carries a direction - worth telling your tailor before cutting, so the tulips stand rather than lie sideways.
The dupatta
The dupatta leaves a broad panel of plain red at the centre and frames it on all sides with an intricate floral border, so it reads as a finished piece rather than a matching offcut. Wear it with the border framing the shoulder for a festive evening, or fold it narrow over a plain red kurta for the office. Genuine hand block printing on katan silk from Bhagalpur is a rare pairing - this craft usually turns up on cotton. Block printed by hand, and still dispatched the next working day.

No two tulips carry exactly the same weight of colour. A block holds a little more ink on one press than the next, and the fabric keeps the record.

A tulip block is cut in two parts in Bhagalpur - one for the teal body, one for the pale gold detail - and each is pressed separately onto the silk. The printer works down the length setting the second block into the first by eye, tulip after tulip, hundreds of times before the top is done. The border that frames the dupatta needs its own carved blocks again, mitred at the corners by judgement rather than measurement.

Does the tulip print have a direction?
Yes. The tulips stand upright in tidy rows, so the print has a clear top and bottom. Tell your tailor before cutting, so the tulips stand on the finished kurta rather than lying sideways. The upright motif also suits a long straight kurta well.
How is the dupatta framed?
It leaves a broad panel of plain red at the centre and frames it on all four sides with an intricate floral border. The border needs its own carved blocks, mitred at the corners by judgement rather than measurement, so it reads as a finished piece rather than a matching offcut.
Can I wear the dupatta differently for office and evening?
Yes. For a working day, fold it narrow and wear it over the kurta so only a strip of border shows. For a festive evening, open it out so the floral border frames the shoulder and the plain red centre falls behind.
How are two colours printed on each tulip?
The tulip block is cut in two parts, one for the teal body and one for the pale gold detail. Each is pressed separately, and the printer sets the second into the first by eye, tulip after tulip, hundreds of times before the top is done.
Will the teal and gold bleed into the red?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, so the teal and pale gold keep their edges against the red. Dry clean it the first time, then wash gently in cold water.
Will it stitch to a larger size?
Yes. With 2.5 metres in each piece and the top and bottom 44-45 inches wide, a straight kurta set can be stitched up to 4XL, with the length customised. A long kurta also shows off the upright tulips best.
