How do the top and skirt work together?
The choli carries a mustard geometric print of small diamonds, while the skirt has large ochre flowers with olive leaves. The warm mustard and ochre tie the two pieces together, and the contrast of geometric and floral gives the set a lively, layered look.
What is the dupatta like?
The dupatta is a plain olive with a floral border, giving the eye a calm space after the printed skirt and top. The olive repeats the leaves in the skirt, and the border adds just enough pattern. A floral printed strip also finishes the skirt's hem.
Which functions suit it best?
Haldi is the natural first choice, with mustard and ochre being classic haldi colours. It also works for festive days, sangeet evenings and mehndi functions; switch to heavier jewellery for the evening events.
What are the sizes and lengths?
The lehanga is free size and 40 inches long, with a 5 to 5.5 metre gher of 28 kalis. The choli is 16 to 17 inches long, and the dupatta is 2.4 to 2.5 metres. The set comes stitched.
Is it comfortable for a daytime function?
Yes. It is made in cotton, and the print carries the look with only tassels for extra detail, which suits haldi mornings and long outdoor events. The free size lehanga has a 5 to 5.5 metre gher, so the full skirt allows easy movement for the ceremonies and dancing.
How do I care for it?
Dry cleaning is preferred to keep the natural colours fresh. If you hand wash, use a mild detergent, wash the pieces separately, and dry them in the shade. Turmeric stains from a haldi are best taken to a dry cleaner quickly.
