The kurta is silk and the lining is 100% cotton. the embroidery work is gold and silver threads with tiny silver sequin all throughout the kurta. Every time the light shines on the kurta it looks so beautiful. It’s perfect for night functions both formal and semi formal. The lining is detachable to wash it or if you feel like going for a more sheer look. The price is high because it’s made of the most high end pure materials as mentioned. The palazzo is not fab India. I’m adding it with this set because I bought it for this. They are very flowy and extremely comfortable.
