Pankhudi Kota Cotton Light Pink Embroidered Suit (T+D)

How do I dress this suit up for an office party?

Pair it with a deeper pink or wine palazzo, drape the dupatta open across both shoulders so its floral vines and gold edge show, and add pearl or gold jhumkas. The light Kota cotton keeps you comfortable, and the white yoke embroidery keeps the look polished.

How visible is the white embroidery on such a pale pink?

The white embroidery is set as a panel around the neckline, so it frames the face against the light pink. The rest of the top shows the khat checks of the Kota weave, which add a soft second layer of texture, and the dupatta carries floral vines.

Is it stitched or unstitched?

Unstitched. You get the embroidered top fabric and the dupatta, each around 2.4 to 2.5 metres, and you have the kurta made to your measurements and style. No bottom fabric comes with it, which leaves you free to pair it with what you already own.

Does Kota cotton need a lining?

Usually yes. Kota cotton has an airy checked weave with a sheer look, which keeps it cool but means the light pink top can be slightly see-through. A soft cotton lining in a skin tone or matching pink keeps the kurta modest. Lining is not part of the set.

How should I wash it?

Gently, by hand, with a mild detergent. Wash it separately and dry it in the shade. Avoid wringing the embroidered parts; press out water with a towel instead. Iron on low heat from the reverse side, with a cloth over the embroidery.

Where is the Pankhudi made?

At the Indiehaat unit in Kota, Rajasthan, under master artisan Haq Nawaz. Each piece is handcrafted, so slight differences in the weave or embroidery from one set to another are part of its character, not defects.
