Gharara suit in tissue silk and organza
The gharara opens into a broad flare, covered nearly all over with small gold-toned flowers and medallions. The shirt is worked most heavily at the boat neckline, which gets a deep frame, and down the full sleeves to the cuffs. Across its centre the motifs are spaced out and the off-white stays clear, until the embroidery closes up again along a scalloped daman. Nakshi, pearl and sequin work join the salma sitara, finished with small stones and latkan. At 3.5 yards, the dupatta has a wide metallic border around an open field of scattered bootis. The shirt’s back is round, and the set, silk lined, comes to around 5 kg.
Off-white, gold at the margins
Mughal album pages kept the middle for the picture and spent their gold on the margins. This off-white gharara for a Nikah follows the same habit. The centre of the shirt is kept light, a warm off-white with cream beneath it and only a scatter of motifs, while the gold is packed at the neckline, runs down both sleeves and gathers again along the hem.
Framing the edges changes how the shirt is read. The eye takes the neckline and hem as a border and the quieter middle as the page, so the tissue silk keeps its own shine instead of vanishing under work. Below, the gharara does the opposite: flowers and medallions repeat across its whole flare, and the pattern carries the width.
The dupatta finishes the page. Its gold edge rules a line around the head and, worn at the front, drops in one long vertical stroke that lengthens the whole outfit.
Nikah first, then the reception
Off-white and gold suit a Nikah well, which puts this set among the Nikkah dresses. The weight of the gold then sees it through a reception. In colour it is also one of the white Nikkah dresses, and it can dress a bridesmaid or go to an engagement. The White Gharara for Nikah swaps the fabrics round, with organza above and tissue silk below, and is cut as a Farshi gharara. The antique-gold choker, nath and red-stoned pieces in the photographs are there for styling and do not come with it. Since gold already surrounds the boat neck, white polki earrings with a passa would do more than anything at the throat.

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.
