Roman Silk Neck Embroidery Kurtas

Roman silk is a woven blend finished to hold a soft sheen without the weight or the care requirements of pure silk. It drapes with a little more structure than cotton, which is what makes it suit a kurta where the detail sits high on the garment: the fabric holds its line across the chest instead of collapsing around the embroidery.

On these kurtas the needlework is concentrated at the neckline and down the placket, so the piece reads as finished even when worn plain. That placement is also the practical choice for layering, since a jacket or a nehru waistcoat leaves the embroidered yoke visible while covering everything else.
