Glimmering Kota Doria Gota Patti Crisp White Suit (T+B+D)

What accent colour does this white suit have?

A hot magenta. The ivory kurta has small flower butis and a leafy gota neckline, and the sheer dupatta is edged with a magenta wavy bandhani-look band and silver gota leaf lace. The magenta gives the ivory a bright, festive lift.

Is it unstitched?

Yes. Top, bottom and dupatta come as unstitched fabric, each 2.4 to 2.5 metres, so your tailor can cut the set to your size and preferred style. Ask for the neckline to follow the gota so none of the work is lost in a seam.

Is lining necessary?

Kota Doria is sheer, so a white cotton lining is a good idea for the kurta. A soft cotton or cambric lining keeps it breathable. The sheer dupatta can be left unlined so the magenta border and gota lace catch the light.

What bottom should I pair?

White or ivory keeps it fresh. A magenta bottom matches the dupatta border and makes the outfit festive. Silver or oxidised jewellery suits the silver gota best, and juttis or kolhapuris complete the look without fuss.

How do I care for it?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, separately, and dry it in the shade. Keep the dyed border away from the white while wet. Store it folded with a soft cloth over the gota so it does not snag.
