Ask ShaguftaDupatta, chunni or shawl
A dupatta is the long scarf worn with a shalwar kameez or salwar suit. Many Indian families call it a chunni, and the wider ones double as a shawl. Wear one over both shoulders, over one shoulder, or loosely over the head for prayers or a religious ceremony. With Western clothes, treat it like a large scarf over a plain dress, or with jeans and a simple top.
Organza for parties, cotton and linen for every day
Organza is crisp and slightly sheer, and it holds embroidery well. The organza dupattas here have stone work, foil work, lace or a jacquard weave, and any of them will lift a party suit. Ajrak is the block-print pattern of Sindh in Pakistan, and the black cotton ajrak dupatta is soft enough to wear every day. Chunri print copies the tiny dots of tie-dye, and the pink linen chunri dupatta is wide enough at 41 inches to use as a shawl.
Lengths and widths
Most dupattas here run 79 to 88 inches long and 32 to 43 inches wide, and each listing gives its own numbers. A longer one drapes generously across both shoulders; a narrower one is easier to manage with a kurti and jeans. Because a dupatta doesn't depend on your dress size, it is the simplest thing in the shop to add to an order.
Matching a dupatta to your outfit
To match a plain suit, borrow a color from its print or embroidery, or go for contrast: a black ajrak dupatta over a white or red kurti, a pink chunri print over a cream one, or white and gold organza over almost anything for a party. Organza is the dressiest, so save it for evenings, and let the cotton and linen print dupattas do the daytime work.
Adding a dupatta to your order
Pick a dupatta to go with a suit or kurti already in your bag and send everything to Shagufta in one WhatsApp message, or tap Order on WhatsApp under the dupatta alone. Colors can look different on a phone screen, so ask her for extra photos in daylight if you are matching a shade. She confirms the shipping cost before sending, and payment is agreed on WhatsApp.

Questions people ask
How long is a dupatta?
Most dupattas are about 2.25 to 2.5 meters (around 2.5 yards) long. Each listing gives its own measurements.
Do you ship to my state?
Yes. Shagufta ships from Jersey City, New Jersey to anywhere in the US, and she tells you the shipping cost before anything is sent.
What is an ajrak print?
Ajrak is a traditional block print from Sindh in Pakistan, made of repeating geometric and floral shapes. Women and men both wear it as a dupatta or shawl, and it looks especially good over a plain kurti or suit.
What is a chunri print?
Chunri, also written chunari, is a print of small dots and patterns that copies the look of bandhani tie-dye from Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is bright and cheerful and goes well with plain suits.
Can I wear a dupatta as a shawl in winter?
Yes. The wider cotton and linen dupattas work well as a light shawl over a kurti or a coat. Organza is decorative rather than warm, so keep it for parties.
