Two-piece bridal gown in net and tissue silk
The bridal gown is cut floor length in net and opens down the front over a tissue silk lower section with 12 kalis. It has a V neckline, full sleeves, a round back and a concealed zip. Work starts at the neckline and shoulders and covers the gown, heaviest on the bodice and at the hem, where a continuous run of leaves and flowers circles the skirt. Between the two, long upright lines alternate with scattered floral clusters, and the centre panel stays lighter and more linear. The techniques include aari, applique, dabka, kamdani, nakshi, zardozi and zari, with sequins, beads, naqshi beads, cutwork and ruffles. Around 7 kg in all, the outfit is panelled and silk lined, and the cancan is attached. The 3.5-yard organza dupatta has a worked border and a dotted field.
The bloom on the plum
Plums come off the branch dusted with a bloom that makes them look softer and more mauve than they are. That dust seems to lie over this gown. Under a yellow light the base shifts towards rose and brown, and the copper, bronze and gold of the work step forward against it. Where the front of this open slit bridal gown parts, the likeness goes further. The strip between the panels is paler, like the flesh of a split plum, and its lines draw the eye down through a bodice worked close on either side.
The sleeves ease that density. Sheer between their motifs, they keep the upper half from closing into one mass. Below the narrow belt, the embroidery loosens its order and wanders down the skirt, and the dupatta carries on past the gown onto the floor behind. It is a slow, dramatic presence, and even the round back is set about with motifs.
Baraat, Walima and the bridal party
Plum this dark, with this much metal-toned detail, answers the formality of a Baraat, so the gown is grouped with the Baraat dresses; it serves a Walima, or a bridesmaid, just the same. The Erum Khan Nikkah Maxi is the deep red alternative, a maxi with a sweetheart neckline, 14 kalis and a tissue silk top. In the photographs, the silver-toned choker and earrings are styling alone. The V neckline has space for a layered haar, and antique-gold kundan would sit nearer the bronze and copper of the gown.

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.
