{"product_id":"blue-purple-handloom-ikat-cotton-dress-material-2-piece","title":"Turquoise Blue \u0026 Purple Handloom Ikat Cotton Dress Material (2 Piece)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a 2 piece unstitched dress material in handwoven ikat cotton — a 2.5 metre top length and a 2.5 metre dupatta, ready to take to your tailor. The top is a clear bright blue, with fine white ikat streaks running through the weave. The dupatta is deep purple, carrying small white floral ikat butta, finished with a blue border and blue tassels at the ends. A bottom is not included, so you can choose your own pant fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFabric and weave\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth pieces are 100% cotton, handwoven on a loom. The pattern is ikat, which means the yarn is tie-dyed before it ever goes on the loom — the design is built into the weave rather than printed on top of it. That is why ikat motifs have soft, feathered edges. The slight blur is the mark of the technique, not a flaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this is handwoven, small irregularities in the weave are normal, and the two pieces may vary very slightly in shade. This is what separates a handloom ikat from a machine print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop fabric — 2.5 metres, bright blue handloom ikat cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDupatta — 2.5 metres, purple handloom ikat cotton with blue tassels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom fabric is not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue and purple sit next to each other on the colour wheel, which is why this pairing reads as rich rather than busy. It is a jewel-toned set — better suited to a festival morning, a Golu evening, a sabha performance or a wedding lunch than to a quiet office day. Cotton keeps it wearable through a long function rather than only for photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the bottom, a plain cotton pant in the same deep purple as the dupatta is the safest and strongest choice. A bright blue pant picking up the top is the bolder version. Avoid a second print — ikat is a strong enough pattern to carry the outfit alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver and oxidised jewellery suits cool tones like these far better than gold. Jhumkas, a single oxidised neckpiece, or terracotta if you prefer something lighter. Keep it to one statement piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you stitch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend dry cleaning the fabric before the first wash. Cotton can shrink a little, so take both pieces to your tailor exactly as they arrive and let them measure before cutting. How much fabric your kurta needs depends on your height, the length you want and your sleeve style, so it is worth a conversation with your tailor before the scissors come out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry cleaning is recommended for the first wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo bleach, no harsh chemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash dark and light colours separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not soak, wring or twist the fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine dry in the shade — direct sun fades cotton faster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm iron only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping and returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree shipping on all prepaid orders within India.

The yarn is resist-dyed before weaving, so the pattern exists inside the fabric and appears on both sides. A printed imitation sits only on the surface and looks noticeably paler on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the fabric made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the top and the dupatta are 100% cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill 2.5 metres be enough for my kurta?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top fabric is 2.5 metres. Whether that is enough depends on your height, the kurta length you want and your sleeve style, so please confirm with your tailor before cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the purple run onto the blue?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash the two pieces separately in cold water, especially for the first few washes, and keep them away from lighter clothes. Deep shades like purple need a little more care early on. Line dry in the shade — cotton fades faster in direct sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat bottom fabric should I pair with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA plain cotton pant in the same deep purple as the dupatta is the strongest pairing. A bright blue pant matching the top is the bolder option. Avoid a second printed fabric — ikat is a strong enough pattern on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this suitable for a festival or a wedding function?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The blue and purple jewel tones make this a festive set rather than an everyday one — it suits Navratri, Golu evenings, Deepavali, a sabha or a wedding lunch. Being cotton, it stays comfortable through a long day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you deliver Cash on Delivery?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Cash on Delivery is available across India, with a ₹150 cash-handling charge. Prepaid orders ship free within India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I return it if it doesn't suit me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within 5 days of receiving your order, with an unedited video of the parcel being opened from start to finish. Exchanges are accepted within 3 days, with the fabric in its original condition and packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA note on colour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlight colour variation can occur because of camera settings and lighting, and blue and purple are particularly hard shades for a camera to hold accurately. Returns and exchanges are not accepted for this reason alone — which is exactly why we are happy to show you the fabric on a video call first.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ethnic Vastrr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50326991143169,"sku":"DM-IKT-014-TRQPUR","price":2620.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/8135\/9361\/files\/image_08.jpg?v=1789393194","url":"https:\/\/ethnicvastrr.com\/products\/blue-purple-handloom-ikat-cotton-dress-material-2-piece","provider":"Ethnic Vastrr","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
