Description
Twilia is a four-piece set built in two distinct fabric worlds — organza on the outside, sheesha silk underneath — that are meant to be layered and visible simultaneously.
The organza kurta is sheer and structured, with embellishment at the neckline and hem that combines sequins, pearls, crystals, resham thread, and dabka wire embroidery. The neckline is a wide round shape and carries the densest embellishment on the piece. The cuffs are long and slightly flared.
The sheesha silk inner slip is worn beneath the organza kurta. Sheesha silk is a smooth, slightly lustrous silk with a subtle sheen — it is visible through the organza and reads as depth rather than simply a lining. The sheesha silk trouser is cut straight and falls cleanly to the ankle.
The dupatta is the defining element of Twilia. It is cut on the diagonal — meaning the stripes run at a 45-degree angle across the chiffon rather than straight across. This makes the stripes appear to spiral as the dupatta moves. Wide alternating bands of lavender and blush are lined with crystals at each edge. A silk fringe finishes the border on all four sides.

Care
- Cleaning Dry clean only for all four pieces. Sheesha silk and the mixed embellishment on the organza kurta both require professional cleaning.
- Storage Hang the organza kurta and sheesha silk pieces on padded hangers. The dupatta should be rolled loosely rather than folded to protect the silk fringe.
- Steaming Steam the organza kurta from the reverse side on a low setting — organza can develop sheen marks if steamed directly on the right side. The sheesha silk pieces can be steamed on low, 15 cm from the fabric, on the reverse side. For the dupatta, hold the steamer at least 20 cm away and work in the direction of the fringe to avoid disturbing it.
- Ironing Do not iron the organza kurta — organza is prone to permanent shine marks from iron heat. Do not iron the dupatta. The sheesha silk pieces may be ironed on the reverse side on the lowest silk 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.
