Two things about pale cotton
It reads slightly sheer in strong sunlight — that is simply what pale fabric does, and a short kaftan is normally worn over leggings or trousers anyway.
Never bleach it. Bleach yellows cotton over time and is harsh on embroidery thread. Wash away from darks and dry in shade, and off-white stays off-white.
Machine embroidered — said plainly
Real hand Aari takes days per garment and prices in the thousands. This is machine threadwork in a genuinely Kashmiri motif, which is why it costs under ₹1,000.

Questions
Is the embroidery done by hand?
No. This is machine embroidery in traditional Kashmiri Aari-style floral motifs. Real hand Aari takes days per garment and could not be sold at this price.
Is it see-through?
Pale cotton reads slightly sheer in strong sunlight. Most people wear a short kaftan over leggings or trousers, which settles it.
How do I keep it from going dull?
Never bleach it — bleach yellows cotton over time and damages embroidery thread. Wash away from darks with a mild detergent and dry in shade.
What size is it?
Free size, cut loose and relaxed rather than fitted. Message us for exact measurements before ordering.
