Description
This unstitched suit fabric set features a combination of traditional Indian Bagru and Dabu hand-block printing techniques, originating primarily from Rajasthan, India. The specific designs are natural outcomes of the handcrafted process, often featuring slight irregularities that highlight their artisanal quality.
Material and Dimensions
- Fabric: High-quality cotton (60/60) cambric is used for both the top and bottom pieces. This is a soft, lightweight, and breathable fabric, ideal for comfortable daily or casual wear.
- Dimensions: The set provides ample material for a complete unstitched suit:
- Top: 2.50 MTR (meters)
- Bottom: 2.50 MTR (meters)
Color and Prints
- Color: The primary color is a rich indigo blue, achieved using natural dyes.
- Prints: The fabric displays a mix-and-match combination of two traditional patterns:
- Top Fabric: Features a polka dot (or small 'buti' motif) pattern, typical of Dabu printing where mud-resist is applied before dyeing.
- Bottom Fabric: Showcases a fine striped or geometric pattern, complementing the top's design.
- Technique: Dabu print is a mud-resist hand-block printing process, a labor-intensive but eco-friendly technique that uses natural dyes and results in unique patterns.
Care Instructions
- For the first wash, dry cleaning is highly recommended, as indigo dyes naturally tend to bleed color initially.
