Pink and blue flowers sit sparingly on mustard, leaving the colour room to breathe.

Why this piece

• Sparse placed print on the top, a fuller repeat on the dupatta


• Raw fringed edge on the dupatta, no trim needed


• Colour-fast: pink and blue hold their own against the mustard

The print

Most block print fills the cloth. This one does the opposite. The top carries flowers at wide intervals so the mustard reads as a solid from a few steps away, and the dupatta takes the fuller repeat.

Pink and blue against mustard is a contrast pairing rather than a tonal one, which is why the flowers read as separate objects instead of texture.

Wearing it

This is the set for someone who finds most printed suits too busy. Stitch it plain, let the mustard carry the outfit, and add oxidised silver rather than gold so the pink stays the accent. It handles office and daily wear without looking like an occasion piece.

A sparse print is harder to sell in a photograph and easier to wear in life, and on silk the empty ground is what shows the sheen.

Small shifts in the print, a motif set a little off its neighbour, a shade that deepens where the block pressed twice: these are the marks of a hand at work, not flaws in the cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the pink and blue run into the mustard when I wash it?

No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, which matters most on a light ground like mustard. Dry clean it before first wear, then hand wash gently in cold water.

How do I know the print is done by hand and not by machine?

Look along the repeat. Hand block printing leaves small register shifts where one block meets the next, and slight variation in how much colour each impression carries. A screen or machine print repeats identically every time; this one does not.

What does this unstitched set include?

Three pieces: a 2.5 m top and a 2.5 m bottom, both 44 to 45 inches wide, and a 2.5 m dupatta 35 to 36 inches wide. Nothing is stitched, so your tailor cuts the silhouette you want.

Is there enough fabric for a larger size?

Yes. With 2.5 m in each piece the set can be stitched up to 4XL, and the length can be customised for a longer kurta or fuller silhouette.

Does it need a lining or aster?

No. The silk is opaque and wears well on its own. A lining is optional and only worth adding if you want a heavier, more structured fall.

What if the shade or the quality is not what I hoped?

An exchange is available if the shade or the quality is not loved. Screens do render colour differently, so a small variation between the photograph and the cloth is normal.
