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

What is special about the paisley print?

The paisleys are drawn in dotted lines and set in arcs, so they look light and almost lace-like. Each dot is a spot where wax was laid by hand before dyeing, and small variations in their spacing are part of what makes this hand batik.

Why does the dupatta change colour at the end?

The dupatta shifts from pink into a mauve tone near its end, a shaded finish that gives the drape some movement. Pinned on one shoulder, the deeper end falls behind you or over the arm, depending on how you wear it. The exact shade change can vary a little between pieces.

How do the top and bottom pair?

The deep maroon bottom with white scrolls grounds the brighter pink kurta, and the white in both prints keeps them related. Stitched as straight pants or a salwar, it gives a tonal, layered look rather than a sharp contrast.

Is the set stitched?

It comes as unstitched fabric for the top, bottom and dupatta. That lets you choose the neckline, sleeve length and fit you prefer, rather than adjusting a ready-made size, and your tailor can shape the kurta around the paisley arcs.

Is it comfortable on a hot, long day?

Yes. The set is pure cotton Kota Doria, which is light, airy and breathable, with an open check weave. It has a crisp feel and a soft drape, so it stays easy to wear from morning to evening, and it suits summer days and travel well.

Any tips for the first few washes?

Wash it separately and gently by hand with a mild detergent, keeping it away from whites and other clothes. Don't leave it soaking, squeeze the water out instead of wringing, and dry it in shade so the colours stay rich.
