What pattern does the set carry?
Bold bursts of yellow and lavender spread across a charcoal ground, like flashes of colour on a stormy sky. The large scale makes the set dramatic and eye-catching. Each burst is a little different, which gives the set a free, artistic feel, and a charcoal hem band with thin gold lines finishes the skirt.
How does the mustard dupatta change the look?
The dupatta is a solid mustard, which picks up the yellow in the bursts and brightens the charcoal around your face. Drape it over the shoulder to warm up the outfit, or keep it light on the arms if you want the skirt to lead. The hem has a charcoal band with thin gold lines.
When would I wear this?
Think sangeet and cocktail nights first, where the dark ground and bright bursts look striking. It also suits kitty parties, festive evenings and mehndi functions, especially if you lean into the mustard with gold jewellery.
What does the set include?
You get a lehanga, a choli and a dupatta, all in pure cotton made in Jaipur. The choli comes in sizes 36 to 46 (S to XXXL) with a 15 to 16 inch length, the skirt has a 5.5 metre flare across 28 kalis, and the dupatta measures 2.4 to 2.5 metres.
Is it comfortable enough to wear all evening?
Yes. The set is in pure cotton, known for its breathability, and it absorbs moisture well, which helps over a long evening. There's no heavy embellishment to weigh it down, and the full 5.5 metre skirt gives you room to sit, walk and dance freely.
What is the best way to look after it?
Dry cleaning is preferred. If you hand wash, do it gently with a mild detergent and wash the pieces separately, since strong colours can release dye. Dry in the shade and iron on the reverse to keep the colours bright.
