Party wear

What makes it party wear

Party wear is about the work and the fabric. These pieces have embroidered fronts or a soft sheen, and most come with dupattas in organza or chiffon rather than plain cotton. In Pakistan you would wear them to a dawat, a mehndi or on Eid. Indian buyers would call the same outfits party wear suits and wear them to a sangeet, a reception or a Diwali party.

Chiffon, katan silk and dressy cotton

Chiffon is light and floaty; the green chiffon embroidered dress has a fully lined shirt. Katan silk is a smooth woven silk with a natural shine, used here for an embroidered palazzo suit with an organza dupatta. The cotton party wear dresses are the comfortable choice for a summer wedding or a long evening, dressed up with embroidered palazzo fronts and crisp organza dupattas.

Palazzo suits and how to style them

Several pieces are palazzo dresses: a long shirt over wide, flowing trousers that are easy to sit and dance in. Add heels or embroidered flats, keep jewelry to earrings and bangles if the dupatta is heavy, and pin the dupatta at one shoulder so it stays put. For a wedding, the wedding guest outfits page puts these together with the silk and georgette suits.

Checking fit before the event

Party wear here comes in sizes M to XL, with chests from about 40 to 43 inches. Because you are buying for a date on the calendar, compare the measurements carefully with something that fits you, or use the size guide. Then tap Order on WhatsApp. If you want to see the sparkle in daylight first, ask Shagufta for a video, and message her early so there is time to ship before the event.

Party wear in the colder months

If your dawat or wedding falls in winter, remember that chiffon and katan silk are not warm on their own. Plan a shawl or a long coat for the journey and keep the organza dupatta for indoors. The cotton party wear dresses are the most comfortable choice for a long event in a heated hall, and they still look dressy with their embroidered fronts.
