Rooh Rang Kota Doria Wax Batik Sea Green Suit (T+B+D)

What makes the pattern on the Rooh Rang top stand out?

The top carries a dotted ogee lattice, a repeating onion-dome shape outlined in tiny white dots, worked across its whole length. The bottom is calmer, a plain ground scattered with small flower motifs. That balance keeps the busy top from overwhelming the outfit, and because the dots are laid in wax by hand, no two repeats sit exactly alike.

How is the dupatta finished?

The dupatta carries a lattice band along its ends that picks up the pattern of the top, and it finishes in tassels. Kota Doria is light, so it falls softly over one shoulder or both without weighing you down, and the tassels give it a little movement as you walk.

What do I get in the package, and is it stitched?

It comes unstitched, as three fabric lengths: about 2.4 to 2.5 metres for the top, 2.4 to 2.5 metres for the bottom, and 2.3 to 2.4 metres for the dupatta. You have it tailored to your own fit, sleeve and neckline, which is the whole point of buying it unstitched.

Is Kota Doria see-through? Will I need a lining?

Kota Doria is a fine, airy weave with a slightly sheer texture, which is exactly what makes it so cool to wear. For the kurta, most people ask their tailor to add a thin cotton lining for coverage, or simply wear a slip underneath. The dupatta needs nothing; its sheerness is part of the look.

Where would I wear the Rooh Rang set?

The office first: it is light, crisp and neat enough for a full working day. It also suits a kitty party or brunch, a Mehndi function where you want colour and pattern rather than heavy work, and summer travel, since the cotton breathes well in heat.
