Cotton Dupattas

Yes it is and has been since traditional times. But over time it was felt that a dupatta as part of a salwar kameez set got restricted by manner of design and match to the set it was initially with. When designers experimented with certain designs on the dupatta they found that certain designs increased the ambit of the use of those dupattas to make them inclusive to other salwar kameez pairs as well. This opened up a new avenue of discovery in combing for designs that had universal application or close to it.

The appeal of handloom fabrics lies in the ethnic hand woven techniques employed to churn out fine, soft, transparent, airy, light and aesthestically appealing fabrics. The choice of vibrant colours, the use of organic dyes, the quality of weaving, the employment of limited resources; yet outcomes are a sensational mix with borders, designs, patterns, motifs, themes, hand painting and exquisite embroidery that even modern day methods fail to match. It is an amalgam or delightful blend of ethnic skill, care and devotion. The Dupatta, the scarf or the stole brought out as handloom fabrics woven with dedication and care are worthy additions to any salwar kameez pair that it might get teamed with.

Definitely! An engaging fabric, one exquisite dupatta easily pairs well with a salwar kameez. And the universal Dupatta becomes therefore an essential complement to very many pairs also to enhance the look.

Also known as dupatta chunni, the colourful dupatta has utilitarian functions also. It is used as a protective scarf in windy conditions, serves as a stole or shawl in cold weather, turns into a handy fabric for reverence when visiting a Gurudwara (sikh temple) or as a cover for the head in the presence of elders in the family or visitors. In passing it may be mentioned that this decorative fabric serves beyond its useful life as chunni by its aesthetic appeal as light colourful curtains in a house. Other similar uses can also be envisaged.

The dupatta like the saree is a rectangular piece though much smaller in comparison. But the manner in which it is draped, it covers the front portion partially but grabs a lot of attention. Today every fabric is stuffed with adornments to enhance the look.
