Meher Baani Cotton Applique Suit Bright Yellow (T+B+D)

How does the appliqué stand out on this colourway?

Brighter yellow leaf appliqué forms a lattice over a mustard base, so the pattern shows as two warm yellows working together rather than a hard contrast. It gives the set a sunny, cheerful look while staying tonal and easy to wear.

What is on the dupatta?

The dupatta carries scrolled diamond appliqué across its body, with a bright yellow leaf-lattice band along both sides. The band picks up the leaves on the top fabric, so the dupatta and kurta match without being identical.

How much fabric do I get for each piece?

Each of the three unstitched cotton pieces, top, bottom and dupatta, is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres. Share your preferred kurta and bottom styles with your tailor first, so they can check them against your measurements and plan the cut so the leaf lattice is used well.

How do I keep the mustard looking fresh?

Dry clean is preferred, at least for the first wash. Later, hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, on its own. Don't wring it, and always dry it in the shade, since strong sun can dull warm yellows over time. Iron on low heat.

Is it comfortable for a hot, busy day?

Yes. Breathable cotton keeps it cool and absorbs sweat, and the appliqué looks light rather than heavy. It is easy to sit, travel and move around in for hours, which helps on a long day of errands, work or travel.

Which occasions is it suited to?

It shines at a kitty party or weekend brunch, and its sunny tone makes it a natural pick for a haldi ceremony. Stitched in a simple cut, it also sits comfortably in the office, and the light cotton carries well through summer outings and trips.
