Rooh Rang Kota Doria Wax Batik Suit (T+B+D) Deep Brown

What's the print like?

Small white flower sprigs dotted sparsely over a deep brown kurta. The plain ground between them gives a calm, earthy look, and the white sprigs keep it from feeling heavy.

How does the dupatta finish?

It is a mauve-brown with a row of flowers near the hem and tassels at the ends. The softer tone sits gently against the deep brown kurta, and the flower row gives the dupatta a quiet border when it falls from the shoulder.

Where does it fit in my wardrobe?

Workwear first: the earthy kurta with simple buti looks neat and calm at the office. It suits summer travel, everyday wear and a relaxed kitty party or brunch just as easily, with a change of jewellery.

Is it stitched or unstitched?

Unstitched. The top and bottom fabrics are 2.4 to 2.5 metres each and the dupatta 2.3 to 2.4 metres, so your tailor can work to your size and preferred style.

What makes the fabric so light?

Kota Doria is pure cotton woven with an open check pattern. That airy weave gives it a crisp feel and soft drape, and makes it breathable and comfortable to wear, which suits summer days and travel.

How should I wash it?

Gentle handwash with a mild detergent, washed separately because it is hand-dyed. Press the water out rather than wringing, dry in shade, and iron on low heat to keep the Kota Doria crisp.
