Ten-kali Pishwas in tissue silk, with a maroon dupatta
A V neck and full sleeves sit above the fitted upper body of this Pishwas, which widens from the waist on ten kalis. Long cords run down the center front and end in maroon latkans. Gold-toned flowers and leaf sprays are spread across the blue, several with maroon at their centers, and the work grows heavier at the bodice and cuffs. Larger florals and angular framed shapes sit low on the skirt among the smaller repeat. At the back, a keyhole opening is framed in embroidery, with vertical motifs running below it. Scattered sprigs and a metallic border mark the 3.5-yard contrast dupatta. Zardozi, dabka and resham are part of the mix. It weighs about 5 kg, with paneled construction and silk lining.
Maroon over a winter blue
A cold morning before the haze lifts has this bluish grey in it, and direct light sharpens it toward steel. The gold and rose gold running through it are warm, yet the base stays cool.
Maroon is what answers the cold. The dupatta goes around the shoulders like a shawl pulled close on a winter morning. The same color turns up inside the dress, at the hearts of the larger flowers and in the tassels hanging down the front. Those cords draw a straight line through the middle, so this bluish grey Pishwas reads taller than its cut.
Low down, the biggest motifs carry the weight, which keeps the eye from settling at the shoulders. It is a cool dress, warmed from outside.
For the engagement, and the Mehndi
For an engagement, the pairing of blue and maroon reads as formal, and it is one of the Pakistani engagement dresses for that reason. It also suits a Mayun, Dholki or Mehndi, and a wedding where the wearer is a guest. Its shade places it among the blue wedding frocks too. The Bridal Angrakha Frock is the heavier bridal relation: dusty pink, around 7 kg, over a lehenga with an attached cancan. The red-stone tikka, choker and drops in the shoot are styling only; the V neckline has room for a short rose-gold choker, which would pick up the rose gold already in the embroidery.

Sizing & Measurements
Choose a standard size, or select Customised Size and we stitch to your own measurements at no extra cost.
Your size or measurement details are provided before checkout is completed, which is why production can begin the day after you order. If a measurement is unclear, send it to us on WhatsApp before you submit it and our team will confirm it with you.
Care
- Always put paper between the layers when you fold it away. Kora, dabka and nakshi are metallic wire, and the fabric underneath them is fine. Every time the outfit is opened or folded, a stitch on one layer can catch the layer pressed against it and tear through it. A sheet of tissue or plain paper between the layers keeps the wire work away from the cloth, and it costs nothing. Use plain paper rather than newspaper on pale or ivory fabrics, because newsprint ink can mark them.
- Store it folded, not hanging. A heavily worked outfit is heavy, and months on a hanger pull the weight onto the shoulder seams.
- Dry clean only. Hand and machine washing damages metallic embroidery. Tell your cleaner the outfit carries zardozi, dabka or similar metallic handwork so it is cleaned by hand rather than by machine.
- Keep it away from direct sunlight and damp. Perfume and hairspray go on before the outfit, not after.
Questions About This Outfit
Can the design be customised?
Yes. Most customers ask for the design to be made a little more modest — higher neckline, longer or fuller sleeves, more coverage at the back, a longer shirt. Tell us what you want changed on WhatsApp before you order so the pattern is cut correctly the first time. Colour, embroidery colour, sleeves, neckline and length are all adjustable on most designs.
Will the dress look exactly like the photographs?
It will be very close, and we do not compromise on the embroidery or the fabric. Two honest exceptions: the colour shade can look slightly different because of studio lighting and your screen, and because every customer's height and body type is different, a pattern may need to be adjusted so the design sits correctly on you — on a shorter frame, for example, part of the shirt pattern may have to be re-cut. Ask for the final video before dispatch and you will see the actual garment before it ships.
Can I return or exchange it after delivery?
No. Every outfit is cut and stitched for one customer, so it cannot be resold or swapped for another size. That is exactly why the review happens before dispatch: ask for progress photographs and video at any stage, and for the complete final video before your order ships. An order can still be cancelled before dispatch — the windows and deductions are set out in our return policy.
Is there any extra cost on top of the price shown?
No hidden charges. The price you see is the price of the outfit. The only additions are the ones you choose yourself: Rush or Super Rush delivery, and any paid add-ons such as jewellery. Each is priced clearly before you pay.
Can I get matching jewellery with this outfit?
Yes. Matching earrings, necklace and related pieces are available as paid add-ons on this product — select them before you add the outfit to your basket and they are made and shipped with the same order.
Can I get a matching hijab or an extra dupatta?
Yes. Both are possible. Message us on WhatsApp when you place your order and we will tell you exactly how to arrange it.
Is Rush or Super Rush delivery available for this outfit?
Yes, on bridal and groom wear. The Estimated Delivery Timeline box near the top of this page shows live dates for Free, Rush and Super Rush against today's date, so it is always accurate for your order.
