Silk Leaf Embroidered Kurta Set with Dupatta

With leaf embroidery and sequin work on vichitra silk, this long kurta palazzo set suits a Diwali puja, a festive lunch or an evening party. The straight kurta reaches 40 inches for a tall, graceful line, and its square neckline is outlined in an embroidered border. Leaf motifs are scattered over the front, and a scalloped embroidered band sits near the hem. The matching vichitra silk palazzo is fully stitched in a free-size comfort fit and also measures 40 inches. To finish, a 2.2 metre dupatta brings heavy embroidery, sequins and a lace edge.

Vichitra silk has a smooth, slightly glossy surface, so the long kurta moves cleanly when you walk. Being sleeveless, it stays comfortable in warm halls and through long rituals, and sizes run from M (38) to XXL (44). As a readymade suit set it saves a trip to the tailor before the festive rush, and it is one of the easier pieces of ethnic wear for women to carry from a morning puja to a night out.
