Pankhudi Kota Cotton Vanilla White & Black Embroidered Suit (T+D)

How are the white and black used?

The top is white with a dense panel of black thread flowers around the neckline. The dupatta has black vine sprigs trailing across its check weave and a gold-toned edge. It is a graphic, monochrome look with a hint of gold.

What bottom suits a white-and-black set?

Black is the obvious choice and looks sharp for office. White keeps it airy for summer. For a pop of colour, red or mustard works beautifully with a white-and-black palette, especially for an office party or festive day.

Is it stitched or unstitched?

Unstitched. You get the embroidered top fabric and the dupatta, each around 2.4 to 2.5 metres, and you have the kurta made to your measurements and style. No bottom fabric comes with it, which leaves you free to pair it with what you already own.

What is Kota cotton?

Kota cotton is a lightweight, breathable fabric from Kota, Rajasthan, known for its signature checkered weave called khats. Made from pure cotton, it is soft, durable and ideal for hot climates, which is why it suits summer days and office wear so well.

How should I wash it?

Gently, by hand, with a mild detergent. Wash it separately and dry it in the shade. Avoid wringing the embroidered parts; press out water with a towel instead. Iron on a medium setting from the reverse side, keeping direct heat off the embroidery.

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.
