Sage Green Sharara Set with Gota Work

Gotagota pattiStrips of metallic ribbon applique-stitched into floral or geometric motifs — Rajasthani festive. work is appliqué embroidery using metallic ribbon, traditionally from Rajasthan, folded and stitched into motifs rather than embroidered thread by thread — it's what gives this piece its raised, textured finish rather than a flat printed one. ChanderichanderiA silk-cotton blend from Madhya Pradesh — drapes like silk, breathes like cotton. cotton is chosen for the shirt specifically for its slight sheen, which sage green needs to avoid reading flat.

• Shirt: hand wash cold or dry-clean; iron on medium with embroidered panels face-down.
• Sharara and dupatta: dry-clean only to protect the gota work.
