Pankhudi Embroidered Kota Cotton Pristine White Suit (Top+Dupatta)

What colour accents does the yoke have?

The neckline yoke is densely embroidered in green and pink, and small embroidered flowers are scattered across the white top. The dupatta is peach with a gold edge, so the pink in the yoke and the peach dupatta keep the set warm and soft.

How do I keep the white looking fresh?

Wash it separately by hand with a mild detergent and dry it in the shade. Treat small marks quickly, before they set. Store it in a cotton cloth, away from damp, and avoid hanging it in strong sun for long.

What is Kota cotton like to wear?

Light, airy and comfortable. Kota cotton is a handwoven fabric with the fine checkered weave Kota is known for, and it is lightweight and breathable, so it feels easy against the skin through a full working day or a summer outing.

Is 2.4 to 2.5 metres enough for a kurta?

For most sizes it covers a knee or calf-length kurta with sleeves. If you want extra flare, a long anarkali, or you wear a larger size, check with your tailor before cutting. Keep the embroidered portion on the front panel or yoke so it is the first thing seen.

How long is the dupatta and how does it drape?

It is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres, a generous length for a one-shoulder pleat, a both-shoulder festive drape or a loose loop around the neck. The peach dupatta is finished with a gold edge, so let that edge show along the front when you pin it.

Where is the Pankhudi made?

At the Indiehaat unit in Kota, Rajasthan, under master artisan Haq Nawaz. Each piece is handcrafted, so slight differences in the weave or embroidery from one set to another are part of its character, not defects.
