3-Piece Suits and Kurta Sets with Dupatta

What a 3-piece suit includes

Pakistani shops count the parts: the kameez (shirt), the bottom (shalwar, trousers or pants) and the dupatta. When all three are made to match, it's a 3-piece. Indian shops sell the same thing as a salwar suit with dupatta or a 3-piece kurta set. For many Pakistani women a new 3-piece is part of getting ready for Eid, and Indian shoppers often pick one for a festival lunch or a family function.

Buying all three together means the colors and embroidery already match, so there's nothing left to hunt for.

Dupatta fabrics: zari Monar, lawn and chiffon

The dupatta changes the feel of a suit. The cotton 3-piece comes with a soft zari Monar dupatta, which gives a day fabric a festive edge. The branded lawn 3-piece has a lawn dupatta, so it stays light and matching for summer. The linen 3-piece and the viscose flare dress have chiffon dupattas that float over the heavier fabric.

For girls, the blue cotton 3-piece comes with a soft organza dupatta and embroidery at the neck and sleeves.

Sizes for women and girls

The women's 3-pieces are mostly medium, with chests of about 38 to 41 inches and lengths from 39 to 48 inches; the viscose flare dress is the longest. The branded lawn 3-piece lists measurements for both a small and a medium, so say which you'd like. Use the size guide to measure yourself first.

The girls' 3-pieces are sized by their tag number rather than by age, so Shagufta asks buyers to check the measurement photos on those listings before ordering.

Occasions and ordering

A cotton or lawn 3-piece is right for Eid morning, a family dawat or a school cultural event, and the linen and viscose suits with chiffon dupattas suit an evening out. If you're dressing a daughter too, there are more outfits in the girls' section.
