How to Wear a Scarf or Wrap to an Indian Wedding
- Over a lehenga: drape a velvet scarf over one shoulder as a second dupatta for warmth at an outdoor or winter reception. Shop wedding guest lehengas.
- With a saree: wear it across both shoulders like a shawl once the evening cools. Shop sarees.
- Over an evening gown: a dark velvet or white chiffon scarf adds coverage without hiding the dress. Shop evening gowns.
- Need a matching dupatta instead? See our Dupattas collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size are RAAS scarves?
Most velvet, chiffon and cotton scarves measure 76" x 21". Hand block-printed silk scarves measure 78" x 21". The exact size is listed on each product page.
Velvet or silk: which scarf is better for a winter wedding?
Velvet. It is heavier and warmer, so it works for winter receptions and evening events. Silk, chiffon and georgette are lighter and better for daytime, haldi and mehendi.
Can I wear a RAAS scarf as a dupatta?
Yes. At 76" or longer, each scarf drapes over one shoulder with a lehenga, salwar kameez or saree.
What is the difference between a scarf and a dupatta?
A dupatta is the long scarf worn as part of South Asian outfits like lehengas and salwar kameez. A scarf or wrap is worn more freely — around the neck, across the shoulders or over Western clothing. Our scarves work both ways.
How do I care for a velvet or silk scarf?
Dry clean velvet and embroidered scarves. Hand wash block-printed silk scarves separately. Care instructions are on each product page.
How fast do RAAS scarves ship, and can I return one?
Scarves ship from Chicago. Express delivery arrives in 2–4 business days on orders placed before 2 PM CT. Returns are free within 15 days, and gift wrap and gift receipts are available.
