What are the motifs on the dupatta?
The white linen dupatta carries small oval butis in pink and lime, spread evenly across the body. The ends finish in a pink and lime band with lime tassels, which gives a white dupatta more personality than a plain one.
How does the teal top work with a white dupatta?
The plain teal top is the anchor colour, and the white dupatta keeps the set airy. The pink and lime in the butis add small pops of warmth against the cool teal, so the look is fresh and summery.
What's in the package?
Two unstitched pieces: Katan silk fabric for the top, around 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 44 inches wide, and a pure linen dupatta of around 2.3 to 2.4 metres by 32 to 33 inches. Bottoms are left to you.
Will the white dupatta pick up colour from the top in the wash?
Hand-dyed fabrics can release some colour, so always wash the top and dupatta separately, with a mild detergent, and dry in the shade. Dry cleaning is preferred and is the safer choice for keeping the white clean.
Is this a good set for hot weather?
Yes. Pure linen breathes well and is known for staying cool in heat, so the dupatta won't feel heavy on a warm afternoon. It starts out slightly crisp and softens with each wash.
Any tailoring tips for the top?
Because the teal top is plain, the neckline and sleeves carry the look. A simple straight kurta with a slit or a band collar keeps it office-friendly, and your tailor can add a thin pink or lime piping from their own trims to echo the dupatta.
