Madhubani Print Suits — Unstitched Dress Material with Dupatta
Madhubani is the folk art tradition of the Mithila region of Bihar — fine line work, usually drawn from nature and mythology. Our madhubani suits carry that artwork as a screen print on cotton and cotton silk, which is what keeps them at an everyday price rather than an art-piece one. Every set is unstitched and comes with a matching dupatta.
What the print looks like on cloth
Madhubani line work is dense and deliberate: figures, fish, peacocks, the tree of life, filled in with fine hatching and bold outlines. Screen printing reproduces that line faithfully across the length of the cloth, so the motif stays legible at a distance instead of blurring the way a small repeating print does. The palette runs to reds, ochres, indigo, black and white grounds, which is why madhubani suits carry so well as both office wear and festive wear.
Cotton and cotton silk
On cotton, a madhubani suit is an everyday piece — breathable, easy to wash, comfortable through summer. On cotton silk and crepe it moves into party wear, since the low sheen of the base lifts the print for evening without adding weight. Both come as complete unstitched sets so your tailor can decide the neckline and the fall.
Caring for a printed suit
Wash separately in cold water the first two or three times, with a mild detergent and no bleach, and dry in shade. Press on a medium heat while slightly damp, and press printed areas from the reverse so the ink is not flattened. Dry clean the cotton silk pieces.

Is the madhubani artwork printed or painted?
The suits we sell are screen printed. That is what keeps them affordable and makes the line work consistent across the whole length of the cloth.
