Shan-e-Banaras Brocade Silk Suit Green

What is the pattern on the kurta?

Pink and blue floral vines climb across the deep green kurta from yoke to hem, giving it a garden-like, all-over pattern. A scalloped neckline and a narrow floral band at the hem finish the shape and frame the florals.

Why is the dupatta kept plain?

To balance the busy kurta. The dupatta keeps to plain green with a gold border, so the florals stay the focus and the outfit doesn't look overloaded. It also makes the dupatta easy to reuse with other solid or floral kurtas in your wardrobe.

Where can I wear this suit?

Festive occasions come first: the pink and blue florals and the gold-bordered dupatta suit celebrations well. It's equally at home at an evening dinner, where the deep green kurta looks rich under warm light and the plain dupatta keeps the outfit balanced.

Is it ready to wear?

Yes. It's a stitched suit with lining, so no tailoring is needed if your size fits. Sizes run from S to XXXL, with the waist spanning 32 to 42 inches across the range.

Can a tailor adjust the fit?

Yes, a local tailor can make small changes such as taking in the side seams, shortening the sleeves or hemming the pants from their 38-inch length. Ask them to work around the floral hem band so it stays intact if you shorten the kurta.

How should I style it?

Pick up the pink in the florals with rose-gold or pink-stone earrings, and let the dupatta's gold border guide your footwear, such as gold juttis or kolhapuris. Keep the neckline clear of heavy necklaces so the scalloped edge shows.
