Ruhika Blockprinted Pure Cotton Co-Ord Set Coal Black

What does the print look like up close?

Small white sunburst daisies, with touches of grey, are scattered evenly over a black ground on both the tunic and the bottom. Because the motif is small and spaced out, the overall effect is a quiet, textured dark set rather than a loud floral, which makes it easy to dress up or down.

Can I wear the top and bottom separately?

Yes. Since both pieces carry the same daisy print, together they give a clean head-to-toe look. Split apart, the tunic sits well over plain white or grey pants, and the printed bottom pairs with a solid white or pastel kurti. That gives you three outfits from one set.

What are the lengths?

The kurti is 32 inches long, the bottom 38 inches, and the sleeves 17 inches. The set comes stitched in sizes 36 to 46. Laying a kurti you already own flat and measuring it is the easiest way to see how this one will sit on you.

Will the black colour run?

Dark hand-printed cotton can release some dye at first, so wash it separately in cold water with a mild detergent, by hand and gently. Dry it inside out in the shade. That keeps the black deep and the white flowers from greying.

Why does the print vary slightly in places?

Each metre is stamped by hand with carved wooden blocks in Bagru, and this set was printed by Pramod. Small shifts in spacing, a slightly lighter impression or a soft edge on a flower are part of that process. No two pieces come out exactly the same.
