Description
Camellia is a three-piece set in butter yellow double georgette. The short kurta has a V-neckline finished with pearl trim and long sleeves with embellished cuffs. The cuffs and hem carry dabka wire embroidery — a Pakistani craft technique where fine metallic wire is hand-coiled into surface embroidery. The metallic coils catch light at multiple angles simultaneously, which produces a shimmer that sequins alone do not achieve.
The dhoti shalwar gathers at the waist and falls in soft pleats that taper at the ankle — the front panels drape loosely, the back is fitted. It is a silhouette that reads as modern from the front and classical from the side. The chiffon dupatta is lightweight and unembellished — it is meant to be worn loosely, not pinned.
Imported double georgette is chosen for how it handles butter yellow — the weight of the fabric keeps the color from appearing washed out, which lighter chiffons sometimes do in this tone.

Care
- Cleaning Dry clean only. Dabka wire embroidery is delicate and will distort if wet.
- Storage Hang the kurta and dhoti separately on padded hangers. Fold the dupatta loosely — chiffon creases lightly and releases easily with steam.
- Steaming Steam the georgette pieces on a low-medium setting, 15 cm from the fabric. For the dabka embroidery at the cuffs and hem, steam from the reverse side of the fabric — direct steam on the wire coils can cause them to shift. The dupatta can be steamed directly at low heat.
- Ironing Do not iron the kurta or dhoti directly. If necessary, use a pressing cloth on the lowest setting and avoid all embellished areas entirely. The dupatta can be ironed lightly on a cool setting with a pressing cloth.

A Note on the Nature of Handmade
Every Rumor piece carries the character of the hands and materials that made it. Subtle variations are not imperfections, but part of what makes each garment singular.
Color
We take great care to represent each color as faithfully as possible. Still, slight variations may occur between what you see on screen and the garment you receive. The nature of fabric dyes, conditions during the dyeing process, photography, lighting, and individual screen settings can all influence the way a color appears.
Handcrafted Fabrics
Handwoven and handcrafted textiles may reveal irregular threads, variations in the weave, or small marks left by the making process. These are inherent to the material and a quiet signature of its authenticity. We believe the beauty of something made by hand lies, in part, in the evidence that a hand was there.
Measurements
Because our pieces are cut, stitched, and finished by hand, measurements may vary slightly from one garment to another. A variation of up to ±2 inches falls within our accepted tolerance.
No two handmade pieces will ever be entirely identical. We would not want them to be.
Make it Modest
Adds full-sleeve lining, inner layering beneath any sheer fabric, and an extended slip through the midriff, so the piece stays fully covered without changing its silhouette or design.
