Meher Baani Cotton Applique Suit Cool Gray (T+B+D)

What stands out on the dupatta?

A white petal-lattice band of cut appliqué runs along both sides of the cool grey-blue dupatta, with scrolled diamond motifs in the body. The white edge gives the dupatta a clean, crisp outline that shows clearly when draped over one shoulder or both.

How would you describe the colourway?

It is a cool, muted palette: a grey-blue dupatta over a pale blue-grey kurta fabric, lifted with white appliqué. The tones are calm and understated, which makes the set easy to wear for work and daytime, and easy to accessorise.

Is the suit pre-stitched?

No. You receive three unstitched cotton pieces for the top, bottom and dupatta, each about 2.4 to 2.5 metres. The top and bottom can be tailored to your size and style, and the lattice placed exactly where you want it on the front.

Are there differences between pieces?

Small ones, yes. The appliqué is cut and stitched by hand by artisans in Barmer, so the petals and diamonds may differ slightly in shape and spacing from set to set. Muted grey-blues can also look slightly different on different screens.

What goes well with grey-blue?

Silver and oxidised jewellery suit the cool tones, and pearls give a soft, polished look for the office. For a pop of colour, add coral, pink or mustard earrings or a bag. White, grey or tan footwear all work.

Any stitching suggestions?

A straight kurta with a simple neckline lets the lattice do the work. Ask your tailor to centre the pattern on the front and align it at the side seams, and to finish seams neatly where they cross the appliqué. Straight pants keep the look sharp for work.
