Choosing the work colour

Silver and antique silver keep pale shades cool and fresh; rose gold warms them and looks softer in photographs; bright gold gives the most shine under evening lights, and antique gold looks deeper and richer up close. Multicolour thread suits the bright shades of a mehndi, and tonal thread, in the same shade as the fabric, lets the cut lead. The work itself layers dabka, zari, nakshi, salma sitara and kora with pearls and sequins, with tassels or cutwork as finishing details. If you like a design but not its work colour, ask before you order: every bridal design can be ordered as Full Custom Design, and changes that add work are priced first.

Which colour for which wedding day

Ivory, white and soft pastels suit the ceremony; see our Nikkah looks. Gold, peach and aqua suit the walima evening; see our Walima looks. Mustard and emerald belong to the mayun and mehndi, and crimson red with gold keeps the baraat traditional. Black and gold is a strong choice for an evening reception.

Lehenga set or trousers

Over a lehenga, the pishwas is the top of a lehenga set, typically with a dupatta, and a cancan layer can hold the skirt out below its hem; it gives more coverage and more weight. For complete outfits led by the skirt, see our bridal lehenga sets. With slim trousers, the pishwas is lighter and lets the kalis, the panels of its skirt, do all the work. Some styles wrap across the bodice and tie at the side, like our angrakha bridal dresses, while a gown is worn on its own with a dupatta; see our bridal gown styles. For every other cut, see every Pakistani bridal style.

Pishwas FAQ

What decides the price?

Each design carries its own price in euros, and the range can be sorted by price. Three things move it: the form (over a lehenga or with trousers), the fabric, and how much work covers the bodice, sleeves and kalis. Heavier work, or any other change that adds fabric, embroidery or labour, is priced and agreed before work starts; Rush Delivery (€59) or Super Rush Delivery (€199) applies only if you choose it for an earlier date.

Can I order a design in another colour?

Ask before you order. Another shade, a different work colour, full sleeves or a higher neckline can be requested under Full Custom Design, and we confirm whether the fabric and the embroidery allow it. Changes that add fabric, embroidery or labour are priced and agreed first, so tell us the pairing you have in mind with your first message.

Can I check the colour while it is being made?

Yes. Ask on WhatsApp for progress photos and close-up videos while your pishwas is being made. Rose gold and antique gold can look alike in a still photo, so a close-up video of the real work is the clearest way to tell which tone you are getting.
