Behind this piece
Sandstone sits at the quieter end of ochre, a colour the Rajasthani desert has claimed for centuries in its architecture, its textiles, its light at dusk. This suit draws from that tradition of warmth held in fabric, rendered here in art silk that catches sequin-light the way old palace walls catch the afternoon sun. The net overlay belongs to a long lineage of layered Indian dressing, where sheer and opaque have always conversed. The embroidered sequin work recalls the chamak of festive Lucknowi and Gujarati craft sensibilities, where surface adornment is never frivolous but ceremonial.
How to style
For a family celebration, pair this suit with a silk dupatta in ivory or antique gold draped across one shoulder, and finish with pearl drop earrings and block-heeled mojris in tan leather. For a winter wedding reception, layer a fitted velvet shawl in deep teal over the shoulders and choose oxidised silver jhumkas. For a daytime puja or a festive lunch, keep jewellery restrained: a single gold chain, small studs, and flat kolhapuris in cognac. Churidar silhouettes elongate the leg and reward a clean, tailored fit across all three occasions.
Fabric & care
Art silk, woven from synthetic filaments engineered to mimic the lustre of pure silk, requires gentle handling to preserve its sheen. Hand wash in cool water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent; never wring or twist the fabric. The net overlay should be handled with particular care to prevent snags at the embroidered sequin joins. Press on a low heat setting with a thin cotton cloth placed between the iron and the surface. Store flat or loosely rolled in a breathable muslin bag, away from direct sunlight, which fades art silk faster than most fibres.
