Description
This is an unstitched two-piece suit set made from premium cotton cambric (60/60) fabric, renowned for its soft feel, breathability, and comfort [5.4, 5.7]. The material is suitable for crafting personalized everyday or casual ethnic wear like kurtas, pants, or dresses [5.4].
Color and Print Details:
The fabric set features two distinct designs in an appealing indigo blue and white color palette [5.3, 5.6].
- Top Fabric: Adorned with a classic white leaf or floral pattern hand-blocked onto an indigo blue background [5.3, 5.15].
- Bottom Fabric: Complements the top with a simple yet elegant white vertical stripe pattern on an indigo base [5.1].
Technique and Craftsmanship:
Both prints utilize the traditional Bagru and Dabu hand block printing techniques, a heritage craft from Rajasthan, India [5.5, 5.6]. The Dabu technique specifically involves applying a mud-resist paste before dyeing the fabric; the areas covered in the paste remain white after the natural indigo dye process, which can create a unique, slightly "cracked" texture [5.5]. The manual process means slight irregularities or small color smudges are characteristic of authentic handcrafted items [5.5].
Specifications:
- Top Length: 2.50 meters (approx.) [5.1]

- Material: 100% Cotton (60/60 Cambric quality) [5.6, 5.7]

- Care: Hand wash separately in cold water with mild detergent is recommended, as excess natural colors may bleed during the first wash. Dry cleaning is often recommended for the initial wash [5.7].
