How to Get it Stitched

Fabric & Stitching Guide

An unstitched suit fabric offers the ultimate luxury: the complete creative freedom to customize a silhouette that fits your unique body type, length preferences, and personal style flawlessly.

To help you get an immaculate boutique finish from your local tailor or designer, we have put together this simple guide on what you receive in your package and how to get it stitched beautifully.

While we do not provide tailoring or stitching services, we want to ensure you get the absolute best results from your local boutique or tailor. Here is a simple guide on what you will receive and how to get it stitched beautifully.

What Comes in Your 3-Piece Suit Set

Every unstitched premium set is carefully curated and measured to allow for maximum flexibility in design. Typically, your package will include:

  • The Kurta Fabric (2.5 Meters): Premium fabric (Pure Silk, Chanderi, or Tussar) featuring specialized design panels, hand-blocks, or pre-woven necklines/hemlines.

  • The Dupatta (2.5 Meters): A fully finished, ready-to-drape statement piece featuring heritage weaves, block prints, or handcrafted tassels.

  • The Bottom Fabric (2.5 Meters): Coordinated premium fabric (such as ultra-soft Muslin, Cotton, or Plain Silk) intended for your trousers or salwar.

Guide on How to Get It Stitched Locally

When you take your premium fabric to your local tailor or boutique, follow these expert tips to ensure an immaculate fit and finish:

1. Always Ask for Lining (Astar)

For sheer, delicate, or high-end fabrics like Chanderi, Pure Silk, or Tussar, lining is essential.

  • What to use: Request your tailor to use a premium, breathable Cotton Mulmul lining.

  • Why it matters: It protects the delicate silk fibers from friction, prevents sheerness, adds a beautiful structural fall, and ensures maximum comfort against your skin.

2. Pre-Wash Your Lining Fabric

If your tailor is sourcing the cotton lining fabric locally, insist that they wash and shrink the lining fabric before cutting and stitching it to your main suit. This prevents the lining from shrinking later during a wash and pulling the silk out of shape.

3. Design According to the Pattern Layout

Many of our pieces feature specific placement prints, structural panels, or woven necklines.

  • Pro-Tip: Show your tailor the product photos from our website so they understand exactly where the borders, motifs, or architectural panels (like our Taj Mahal or Ajrakh prints) are meant to sit—usually centered on the chest or framing the lower hemline.

4. Choose the Right Silhouette for the Fabric

  • For Structured Pure Silks & Tussar: These fabrics look spectacular when stitched into crisp, tailored profiles like sleek cigarette pants, straight-cut kurtas, or clean A-line silhouettes.

  • For Breezy Chanderi & Cottons: These flow beautifully into straight trousers, relaxed palazzos, or elegant narrow salwars.

Important Fabric Care Before Tailoring

  • Do Not Pre-Wash the Main Silk Fabric: While cotton lining should be washed, never pre-wash your pure silk, Tussar, or Chanderi fabric at home.

  • Dry Clean Only: To maintain the brilliant pigments, natural luster, and delicate metallic weaves, instruct your tailor that the final stitched garment must be dry-cleaned only.
