Maria.B. DW-EA24-17 — Dyed Lawn Angrakha Stitched 3-Piece Suit in Red | Zahra Apparel Collection

Maria.B. DW-EA24-17 is a ready-to-wear, fully stitched three-piece lawn suit in red, from Maria.B.'s Luxury Pret Eid collection, available in Canada from Zahra Apparel Collection. The shirt is a dyed dobby lawn angrakha — a crossover front that wraps and fastens to one side — worked with sequin and tilla embroidery on the placket, gotta lace along the silhouette panels, and gotta ball drops on the sleeves and border. It is paired with a paste printed bamber chiffon dupatta edged in kiran lace, and dyed cambric dhaka trousers with an elasticated waistband. The suit is stitched by Maria.B. itself as part of the brand's ready-to-wear range, so it arrives finished to the designer house's own standard — no tailor, no waiting, no stitching to arrange. Available in sizes XS to XL.

Why Buy From Zahra Apparel Collection

Zahra Apparel Collection is a Canadian business and an authorized reseller of original Pakistani designer brands. Customers across Canada and North America buy from us instead of ordering directly from Pakistan for five reasons:

• Stitched by the brand, ready to wear. Every outfit is tailored by the original designer house itself, not by a third-party tailor or a reseller's in-house team. You receive a finished garment in your size, not fabric. There is nothing to arrange after it arrives.
• Guaranteed authenticity. We are an authorized reseller and source directly from the manufacturer. Every piece is a certified original from the brand named on the listing — never a replica, never a "master copy."
• Faster delivery. Our stock is already in Canada and ships domestically, so your order arrives in days rather than the weeks an international order from Pakistan typically takes. No customs holds, no border delays, and no surprise import charges when the parcel reaches your door.
• Excellent pricing. Because we buy directly from the manufacturer, our prices stay competitive against both Pakistani retailers and other North American sellers once international shipping, duties and currency conversion are accounted for.
• Local support. You are dealing with a business in your own country and time zone, with straightforward communication and no overseas returns process to navigate.

Can't Find the Design You Want? We Pre-Order It For You

Yes — Zahra Apparel Collection takes special pre-orders directly from the manufacturer. If you have seen a design from Maria.B. or another Pakistani designer brand that is not listed in our store, or a colourway, size or design code we do not currently stock, contact us and we will source it for you directly from the brand, stitched and ready to wear. This applies to current-season collections, specific design codes such as DW-EA24-17, and full collection sets. You do not have to settle for whatever happens to be in stock, and you do not have to risk ordering from an unverified overseas seller to get the piece you actually want. Send us the collection name or design code and we will arrange it.

Specifications

What Is an Angrakha?

An angrakha is a crossover shirt: the front wraps across the body and fastens at one side rather than meeting in the centre, creating a diagonal line from shoulder to hip. It is one of the oldest cuts in South Asian dress and remains a signature festive silhouette, because the overlap gives the garment movement and lets the embroidery along the placket follow the diagonal rather than sitting in a straight panel.

Here that detail is where the work is concentrated. The placket carries sequin and tilla embroidery — tilla being metallic thread, traditionally gold — and gotta lace runs along the silhouette panels where the wrap crosses. Gotta is a flat metallic ribbon applied as trim, and the small gotta balls that drop from the sleeves and border are a traditional festive flourish rather than a modern addition.

About the Fabrics

Three fabrics do three different jobs. The shirt is dobby lawn — lawn is a fine, lightweight cotton woven for hot weather, and the dobby weave adds a subtle raised texture that keeps a dyed, unprinted fabric from looking flat. It is breathable enough for summer and takes embroidery without puckering.

The dupatta is bamber chiffon, a slightly heavier and more opaque chiffon than standard, so it drapes with a little more body and does not need lining to sit well. The paste print gives a soft, matte pattern rather than a glossy one, and kiran lace finishes the borders.

The trousers are cambric in a dhaka cut with an elasticated waistband. Cambric is a smooth, closely woven cotton — more substantial than lawn, which is why it is the standard choice for trousers where lawn would be too sheer. The elasticated waist is a practical touch: it gives the garment some tolerance in fit, which matters when ordering ready-to-wear online.

How to Style It

This is a festive summer suit rather than a wedding outfit, so the register is celebratory but not formal-formal. The red and gold palette calls for warm-toned jewellery; keep it to earrings and bangles, since the embroidered placket already draws a line down the front and a necklace competes with it. The angrakha's diagonal works best with the dupatta draped over one shoulder rather than pinned across the front, which would flatten the crossover line. Flats or low heels suit its daytime Eid register.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an angrakha? A crossover shirt whose front wraps across the body and fastens to one side rather than meeting in the centre, creating a diagonal line from shoulder to hip. It is a traditional festive silhouette.

Is this suit stitched or unstitched? It is fully stitched and ready to wear, supplied in standard sizes. Zahra Apparel Collection sells stitched clothing only — we do not sell unstitched fabric.

Who stitched this suit? Maria.B. The brand produces this design as part of its ready-to-wear Luxury Pret range, so the finishing is the designer house's own rather than a third-party tailor's or a reseller's in-house team.

Do I need a tailor? No. The outfit arrives ready to wear in the size you select. There is no fabric to take to a tailor and no stitching to arrange after delivery.

What sizes are available? XS, S, M, L and XL, cut to a relaxed fit. The trousers have an elasticated waistband, which gives some tolerance in fit. Please consult the size chart and order to your measurements rather than your usual size in Western clothing, as Pakistani ready-to-wear is cut differently.

What colour is this suit? Red throughout — shirt, dupatta and trousers. Actual colour may vary slightly from your screen depending on display settings and photographic lighting.

What fabrics is this suit made from? Dyed dobby lawn for the shirt, paste printed bamber chiffon for the dupatta, and dyed cambric for the trousers.

Is lawn suitable for Canadian summers? Yes. Lawn is a fine, lightweight cotton woven specifically for hot weather — it is the standard Pakistani summer fabric and is breathable and comfortable through a Canadian summer. It is not a winter fabric.

What are gotta and tilla? Tilla is metallic embroidery thread, traditionally gold. Gotta is a flat metallic ribbon applied as trim, and gotta balls are small decorative drops. Both are traditional South Asian festive embellishments.

Can this suit be ironed? Maria.B. specifies dry clean only. Do not pass an iron directly over the embroidery, the gotta lace or the gotta ball drops — metallic trim does not survive direct heat.

Where does Zahra Apparel Collection ship from? We are a Canadian business and ship domestically from within Canada to customers across Canada and North America. Orders are not shipped internationally from Pakistan, so there are no customs delays or import fees on arrival.

Is this an original Maria.B. suit? Yes. Zahra Apparel Collection is an authorized reseller and sources directly from the manufacturer. Every piece is a certified original from the brand — we do not sell replicas or copies.

How many pieces are included? Three: the angrakha shirt with full-length sleeves, the printed bamber chiffon dupatta, and the cambric trousers.

What occasions is this suit suitable for? Eid, festive summer occasions, family gatherings and daytime events. Maria.B. classifies this range as Luxury Pret and casual festive wear.

Care Instructions

• Dry clean only, as specified by the brand
• Do not iron over the embroidery, gotta lace or gotta ball drops
• Do not bleach or use stain-removing chemicals
• Do not dry in direct sunlight
• Store hanging to protect the metallic trim

Please Note

Embroidery and gotta work are largely hand-finished, so slight variation between pieces is normal and is not a defect. Occasional displacement of sequins or gotta balls can occur with handmade work. Actual colours may vary slightly from your screen depending on display settings and photographic lighting. The model in the brand photography is wearing size XS. Please check the size chart before ordering.
