Ruby Red Zardozi Long Formal Dress Video

Shirt-and-trousers suit in chiffon and Katan silk

The shirt of this formal suit has full sleeves, a keyhole front and a round back. Dense gold frames the keyhole, and a pendant-shaped motif hangs below the opening. Down the body, fine dots and narrow gold lines run between spaced medallions. The sleeves carry larger flowers and leaves, packed closest at the cuffs. A broad floral and geometric band fills the lower front above a heavy gold edge, and the same rhythm continues across the back. Zardozi, dabka, kora and cutdana are among the techniques, with pearl work, beads and small stones. Sprigs and dots are scattered inside the wide gold border of the dupatta, a full 3.5 yards. Panels and a silk lining go through the whole outfit, and its weight is around 5 kg.

Ruby, hung true

Hold ruby up to the light and it leans towards fuchsia; let the chiffon fold and it sinks back to crimson, with a berry note underneath.

This ruby red long formal dress is drawn on a vertical. The motif under the keyhole hangs like a plumb weight, and the fine gold lines below it run as true as the cord. With no seam to mark the waist, the eye drops from neck to hem in a single movement.

The heaviest embroidery waits at the bottom: the deep lower band, and a border just as wide on the dupatta. Between them, the scattered points stay small. They catch light and leave the red uncovered.

For the bridesmaid and both mothers

Its full sleeves suit a bridesmaid, and the same modest cut serves the mother of the bride or of the groom. For guests, it belongs with the Pakistani wedding guest dresses, and it is formal enough for a dinner. The Plum Wedding Guest Dress with Gold Zardozi is made the same way in plum, with a notched U-neck, a closed back and mirrors in the embroidery. The antique-gold choker and earrings worn in the pictures are for styling only; around a keyhole this heavily framed, white polki earrings and a passa would be enough.

You stay in control until it ships

Watch it being made

Ask us at any stage and we send photographs or video of your actual outfit — from the first sketch through the embroidery frame to the finished garment. Ask as often as you like on WhatsApp.

A complete video before it ships

Before the parcel is sealed we send you a full video of the finished outfit. If a detail needs adjusting, tell us then and we make the change where it is workable. Nothing leaves us until you have seen it.

Exactly what you see

The photographs and video on this page are of the outfit we make — the same fabrics, the same handwork, the same weight in the hand. A screen can only carry so much: it cannot show how the zardozi catches light as you turn, or how the ghera moves when you walk. That is why we send you a video of your own outfit before it ships, so you judge the real thing rather than a photograph.

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.

Size guide and how to measure

Care

  1. 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.
  2. Store it folded, not hanging. A heavily worked outfit is heavy, and months on a hanger pull the weight onto the shoulder seams.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
