Q1. What fabric is used in the Green Meher kurta set?
A1. This kurta set is made from premium mulmul cotton, known for being feather-light, breathable, and extremely soft. It's a fabric loved for Indian summers, allowing maximum airflow and a barely-there feel, even on humid days.
Q2. Is the embroidery done by machine or hand?
A2. The chikankari embroidery is entirely hand-done by Lucknow-based artisans using traditional techniques. Each motif is individually crafted, adding uniqueness and cultural value to the garment.
Q3. What is included in the set?
A3. This is a two-piece set that includes a straight kurta and matching pants in the same mint-green floral base. Both are pre-stitched and ready to wear, making it a complete outfit.
Q4. Is the fabric see-through or does it need layering?
A4. Mulmul cotton is semi-sheer. While the print and embroidery offer partial coverage, you may wear nude-toned undergarments or a slip underneath for added comfort in bright lighting.

Q6. What is chikankari and why is it valuable?

Q7. How should this set be washed or maintained?
A7. Hand wash separately in cold water with a gentle detergent. Avoid rubbing or wringing. Dry flat in shade. For long-lasting quality, occasional dry cleaning is recommended.

A8. With proper care, the pastel green print will retain its vibrancy. Avoid using hot water or strong detergent which may dull the color or damage embroidery.

A9. Not at all. Its pastel palette, comfortable cut, and cultural embroidery make it suitable for women of all ages, from young professionals to older adults.
Q10. Is it suitable for travel or long wear?
