How does the shibori show on this set?
The white skirt is streaked with hot pink running in vertical lines, created by folding and binding the cotton before dyeing. The streaks vary in width and depth of colour, which gives the skirt movement even when you stand still. A solid fuchsia choli sits above it for a bold contrast.
What details finish the hem?
A fuchsia band with thin gold lines runs along the hem, matching the choli. That repeat of colour frames the streaked skirt from top to bottom, and the gold lines add a hint of festive shine without any heavy embellishment.
Where would this set fit in?
Festive occasions lead, where the fuchsia feels celebratory. It is also easy to wear to a kitty party or brunch, and fun for sangeet or mehndi functions where you will be on your feet and dancing. Gold jewellery picks up the thin gold lines at the hem.
What size options are there?
The choli is offered in sizes 36 to 46, covering S to XXXL, with a top length of 15 to 16 inches. Measure your bust and choose the closest size. The skirt is 16 to 17 inches long, with a 5.5 metre flare across 28 kalis.
Is it light enough to dance in?
Yes. Pure cotton is breathable and light, and the skirt has a 5.5 metre flare across 28 kalis that gives you full freedom of movement. There is no heavy embellishment, so you won't feel weighed down through a long night.
Will the pink run onto the white skirt?
Strong pinks can release some dye early on, so wash with care. Dry cleaning is preferred. At home, hand wash the set separately in a mild detergent, rinse quickly, and dry it in the shade straight away rather than leaving it damp.
