Meher Baani Cotton Applique Suit Green (T+B+D)

What appliqué pattern does the set use?

A petal lattice of cut appliqué runs over the kurta fabric, with scrolled diamond motifs inside. The rounded petals and curling diamonds give the deep green a softer, more decorative pattern that looks crafted up close and tidy from a distance.

How do the greens work together?

The forest green dupatta carries a lighter leaf-green petal-lattice band along its sides, and the kurta fabric repeats the cut appliqué. Pairing a deep green with a fresher one gives the set depth and keeps the darker tone from looking heavy.

Can I make a long kurta from the top fabric?

The top piece is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres of unstitched cotton. Whether that covers the length you want depends on your measurements and the cut, so discuss it with your tailor before cutting, especially for a very long or flared kurta, since the lattice also needs to be placed well.

Will the deep green bleed in the wash?

Dark cotton and contrast appliqué should be treated with care. Wash the set separately, and choose dry cleaning where possible. If you hand wash, use cold water and a mild detergent, rinse quickly and dry in the shade, keeping it away from light-coloured clothes.

What bottom should I choose?

Straight pants keep the set sharp for the office, while palazzos make it airier and more relaxed. Check your chosen style with your tailor against your measurements before cutting, and keep the bottom plain so the petal lattice on the top stays the focus.

Will every motif be identical?

No, and that is the nature of handwork. Each petal and diamond is cut and stitched by hand by artisans in Barmer, so small differences in shape and spacing appear, and each set varies slightly. The deep green may also look a little different on screen.
