2-Piece Suits, Kurta Sets and Co-ord Sets

2-piece suit, kurta set, co-ord set

The three names describe nearly the same thing. A kurta set usually pairs a kurta with straight pants or palazzos; a Pakistani 2-piece pairs a kameez with a shalwar, trousers or palazzos; and a co-ord set is any top and bottom cut from the same fabric.

Shagufta lists her lawn and linen sets as both suits and cordsets, so you'll find them whichever word you use.

Lawn and linen for day, silk and georgette for evening

The lawn and linen 2-pieces are everyday sets, light and breathable for work and errands. The silk, cotton silk and georgette sets have more sheen and drape, so they suit dawats, Eid and parties. For winter, the khaddar 2-piece maxi dresses, one of them by Bin Saeed, are long and warm. The green georgette 2-piece is a 2XL with a shalwar, one of the roomiest sets in the shop.

Sizes from XS to 2XL, and girls' sizes

The women's sets run from XS to 2XL, with chests from 36 to 50 inches, and the girls' 2-pieces come in sizes 10 and 12, for about 9 to 12 years. Because the trouser is part of the set, check both pieces: most listings give the shirt's chest, hips and length, and some of Shagufta's notes say whether it comes with a pant or a shalwar.

The girls' sets are in purple and grey. The size guide shows how to measure, and the girls' section has more outfits for younger buyers.

Why a 2-piece is easy to style

Without a dupatta, a 2-piece looks modern and works for the office, travel or a quick trip to the shops. Add a contrasting dupatta or an organza one when you want it dressier, or wear the shirt alone with jeans on another day. The pink georgette palazzo set has a round daman, a curved hem that softens the look.

Pick a set, add a dupatta to the bag if you like, and send the list to Shagufta on WhatsApp. She confirms the order, the shipping cost and payment before she sends anything.
