Not every salwar kameez needs to be an heirloom - some just need to work. It is made up in silk and finished in gold, a combination that reads as considered rather than loud.

It moves between everyday wear and occasions without needing much thought. Indian sizing does not map onto US sizing consistently - go by the measurements, not the letter.

Check the care label before the first wash. Anything with metallic thread or heavy work wants dry-cleaning; plain cottons and rayons are fine hand-washed cold.
