Girls' outfits

Suits for little girls and older girls

The girls' section has 3-piece suits for little girls, one with a soft organza dupatta and an embroidered neck and sleeves, and 2-piece suits for girls of about 9 to 12. Pakistani families call them kids' suits; Indian families may say a salwar suit or a kurta set for girls. Whatever you call them, they are proper grown-up cuts in a child's size, so she can dress like the women in the family on Eid.

Soft cotton for long days

Most of the girls' outfits are soft cotton or cotton lawn, which keeps children comfortable through a long Eid day or a wedding that runs late. Cotton is easy to wash at home in cold water. The dupatta on a 3-piece suit can be pinned at the shoulder so it doesn't trail, and a younger child can take it off once the photos are done.

Eid mornings, weddings and dawats

For Eid morning, a 3-piece cotton suit with its dupatta looks festive in the family photos and stays comfortable through visits and lunch. For a wedding or a dawat, an embroidered suit dresses up well with a few bangles and flat sandals. A 2-piece suit is the easy everyday choice for a girl who would rather run around than worry about a dupatta.

Choosing the right size

Girls' clothes from Pakistan are labeled by tag size rather than age. Shagufta's notes give a guide, for example tag size 32 for about 9 to 10 years and tag size 34 for about 11 to 12, but children grow at different rates. Check the measurement photos on each listing against a kameez your daughter wears now; the size guide shows how to measure a garment laid flat.

Ordering for the whole family

Buying for yourself and your daughter? Add both outfits to the bag and send one WhatsApp message to Shagufta, who confirms the pieces and the shipping cost before anything is sent. If you want to see the fabric or the embroidery up close, ask her for a video or extra photos first, then agree on payment with her when she confirms the order.
