Description
Etherea is a three-piece set in blush rose raw silk. The kurta has a round keyhole neckline with a small bow detail at the top of the keyhole, and three-quarter sleeves with banded cuffs. The entire surface of the kurta — front, back, and sleeves — is covered in hand-placed crystals, sequins, and pearls. The embellishment is not patterned. It is distributed across the surface the way a fine texture would be — evenly, without concentrating on any one area. The hem of the kurta carries a ruffle trim.
The wide leg trouser is in the same blush rose raw silk, unembellished. The trouser is the quietest piece in the set and is designed to let the kurta carry the weight of the look.
The silk dupatta has a ruffle trim along its border, matching the kurta hem. The dupatta surface is unembellished — the ruffle is the only decorative element.
The all-over embellishment on the kurta means that when light hits the piece from any direction, it catches. There is no wrong angle for Etherea to be seen from.

Care
- Cleaning Dry clean only. The all-over embellishment on the kurta cannot be hand washed — individual embellishments will loosen in water.
- Storage Hang the kurta on a padded hanger. Do not place anything on top of the embellished surface in storage — even soft pressure over time can shift the crystals. The trouser and dupatta can be hung or folded.
- Steaming Steam the kurta from the reverse side only, on the lowest setting, holding the steamer 20 cm from the fabric. Do not steam the embellished surface directly — sustained heat will loosen the adhesive holding some embellishments. The raw silk trouser should be steamed from the reverse side at low heat. The silk dupatta can be steamed at low heat from the right side.
- Ironing Do not iron the kurta under any circumstances — the embellishment density means there is no safe path for an iron across the surface. The raw silk trouser may be pressed on the reverse side with a pressing cloth on the lowest silk setting. The silk dupatta's ruffle trim should not be ironed — steam only.

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.
