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

What's inside the medallions?

Each round medallion has dotted rings with a leafy fill at the centre, so there is detail to see up close. On the teal base the white work stands out cleanly, and the medium scale keeps it balanced on most frames.

How does the dupatta finish?

The teal dupatta fades into grey at its end, with tassels on the edges. Worn over one shoulder, the grey end falls behind you and softens the whole look, and the sheer weave lets the kurta medallions show through.

Is it stitched?

No, you get three unstitched lengths for the top, bottom and dupatta. Give your tailor your usual kurta measurements; the top and bottom are 2.4 to 2.5 metres each, and the dupatta is 2.3 to 2.4 metres.

How see-through is it?

Kota Doria is sheer by nature; the woven check is open enough to let light pass. A cotton lining under the kurta is the usual answer, and it also makes the white medallions look crisper against a solid backing.

What bottom style would you suggest?

The navy fabric with white floral blocks works well as straight pants or a narrow palazzo, both of which show off the print. Keep the cut simple so the bottom doesn't compete with the medallions on the kurta.

How should it be cleaned?

Gentle handwash with a mild detergent, separately from your other clothes, then dry in shade. Avoid wringing or soaking it; press the water out instead. A low-heat iron brings back its crisp finish.
