Meher Baani Cotton Applique Suit Ink Blue (T+B+D)

What does the appliqué look like on the Meher Baani top fabric?

The top fabric carries a geometric lattice of appliqué, with cut fabric shapes stitched down in a lighter tone over the deeper base. The pattern repeats across the whole length, so whichever way your tailor cuts the kurta, the front, back and sleeves all show the lattice. Up close it reads as texture, and from a distance as a clean geometric pattern.

What makes the dupatta different from the top?

The dupatta switches from the lattice to flower appliqué, with stitched-down blooms spread across it and a zigzag-edged band running along both long sides. The two pieces share the same tones, so they clearly belong together, but the flowers soften the look and give the dupatta its own character when it falls over your shoulder.

Is the set stitched, and what comes in the pack?

It comes unstitched, as three lengths of cotton: one for the top, one for the bottom and one for the dupatta, each about 2.4 to 2.5 metres. You get the appliqué already on the fabric, and the freedom to have the kurta and bottom tailored to your own measurements, neckline and sleeve length.

How do I wash it without spoiling the appliqué?

Dry cleaning is preferred, especially for the first wash. If you wash it at home later, hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, keep it away from other clothes, and don't wring or scrub the appliqué. Press the water out, dry it in the shade and iron on low heat.

Is it comfortable in the heat?

Yes. Cotton breathes, absorbs sweat and stays soft on the skin, so the set is easy to wear through a long, warm day. The appliqué adds a layer of fabric only where the motifs sit, and the overall look stays light rather than heavy or stiff.

Where would I wear the Meher Baani set?

It is dressy enough for festive gatherings and occasions, and relaxed enough for a kitty party or weekend brunch. Tailored in a simple cut, it also works for office days, and the breathable cotton makes it an easy companion for summer outings and travel.
