Not every dupatta needs to be an heirloom - some just need to work. Cut from cotton, it is easy to wear and easy to look after.

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.

Follow the care label first. As a general rule, silk, zari and heavy embroidery should be dry-cleaned; cotton and rayon can usually be hand-washed cold and dried in shade.
