Our black mehndi pishwas pairs a richly embroidered raw silk bodice with a sweeping floor-length skirt, a churidar and a sheer organza dupatta edged in gold kiran-lace. Antique-gold threadwork with touches of pink, teal and orange makes this black and gold mehndi pishwas a confident choice for an evening of colour and music.
The Moment She Turns
She steps into the courtyard as the light begins to soften. As she turns, the black skirt opens into a wide circle, and antique-gold vines seem to rise from the moving hem, their pink and teal flowers bright against the dark. Each step sends small flashes of light from the bodice and from the fine gold fringe of the dupatta. Rose petals scattered across the stones echo the colours of her embroidery. When she turns away, the deep rounded back and its small ornament appear between soft falls of sheer organza, and for a moment the evening seems to pause around her.
Design and Craftsmanship
Design & Silhouette
This black pishwas pairs a richly decorated fitted bodice with a dramatically flared, floor-length skirt. Antique-gold flowers, touches of pink and teal and reflective accents define the upper silhouette, while climbing floral vines frame the lower skirt, and a sheer black dupatta with gold kiran-lace borders completes the look.
- A broad, shallow V neckline bordered with gold foliage, colourful flowers and reflective embellishments.
- Transparent half sleeves with scattered reflective accents, ornate embroidered bands and gold-trimmed cuffs.
- A defined waist seam opening into a generous kalidar-style skirt with flowing vertical folds.
- Floral vines climbing from a continuous gold-edged hem, separated by expanses of plain black.
- A deep rounded back neckline with a central ornamental motif above the waist.
- A translucent black dupatta with scattered metallic dots and prominent gold kiran-lace borders.
Craftsmanship
- Three pieces: pishwas and churidar in raw silk, with an organza dupatta.
- Heavy embroidery in dabka, zardozi, zari, resham thread, sequin work, applique and mirror work.
- Antique-gold and multicolour embroidery on the front panel, neckline, sleeves, cuffs and daman.
- Kiran-lace, handmade flowers and sequins as embellishments, with the dupatta embroidered all over and along its border.
Made to Measure
Each black embroidered mehndi pishwas is custom stitched to your measurements, in a standard size or a custom size. Full custom design is available, so colours and details can be shaped around your plans. Matching jewellery and a matching potli bag can be selected from the add-ons.
Where to Wear It
Made for the mehndi, where mirror work and sequins catch the light, it also works as a black Pakistani formal pishwas for a party or formal dinner.

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.
