Gulmohar Embroidered Pure Linen Stitched Off White Suit

What does the embroidery on the Gulmohar suit look like?

Clusters of pink blossoms on trailing vines, with touches of sage green, are embroidered as placed motifs on the cream kurta, and a column of pink blossoms runs along the dupatta edge. It is a soft, garden-like design that looks fresh on linen.

How do I accessorise an off-white linen suit?

Off-white is a calm base, so accessories can bring in colour. Pink-toned or oxidised silver jewellery picks up the floral embroidery, tan kolhapuris keep it relaxed for the day, and a pink potli or juttis make it feel festive. Keep the dupatta over one shoulder so the embroidered edge shows.

What is the dupatta like?

The dupatta is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres long, with a column of pink blossoms along its edge and tassels at the ends. Drape it over one shoulder for work, or spread it open on festive days so the embroidered edge shows.

Is linen comfortable in hot weather?

Yes. Linen is made from flax fibre, which is breathable and moisture-wicking, so it is ideal for warm weather. It has a distinct, slightly coarse texture and a natural lustre, which suits long office days and summer outings.

How should I care for it?

Dry cleaning is preferred, especially to keep the embroidery and the pale linen looking fresh. If you wash at home, use a gentle hand wash with mild detergent, wash it separately and dry it in the shade. Iron while slightly damp, on the reverse over the embroidered areas.

What size is it?

It comes as a stitched suit set, so pick the size closest to your usual fit. Size and colour customisation are also available if you need something different, and a comfortable rather than snug fit suits the relaxed look of linen.
