Maria.B. DW-W24-103 — Embroidered Linen Stitched 3-Piece Suit in Black | Zahra Apparel Collection

Maria.B. DW-W24-103 is a ready-to-wear, fully stitched three-piece linen suit in black, from Maria.B.'s Luxury Pret Winter '24 collection, available in Canada from Zahra Apparel Collection. The shirt is an A-line linen cut with an embroidered front bodice, an organza embroidered border, and fully embroidered sleeves finished with pearl detailing. It comes with a dyed plush shawl carrying sequin and thread embroidery with pearl drops, and dyed linen 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

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-W24-103, 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

About the Fabrics

Linen is the substance of this suit. It is a natural fibre woven from flax, noticeably heavier and more textured than lawn, with a dry hand and a visible grain that gives a plain dyed fabric depth without print or pattern. In Pakistani ranges linen is the winter equivalent of lawn — warm enough for cool weather, structured enough to hold an A-line cut, and durable in a way finer fabrics are not. Using it for both the shirt and the trousers keeps the outfit consistent in weight and drape rather than pairing a structured top with a lighter bottom.

The shawl is plush, a dense, soft-faced fabric with a short pile — closer in feel to a light velvet than to chiffon. That is a genuinely different proposition from the sheer dupattas on most Pakistani suits: a plush shawl has real warmth and weight, so it functions as an outer layer in cold weather rather than purely as drape. For Canadian winter that matters, and it is part of why this suit works here in a way a chiffon-dupatta outfit does not.

The embellishment is restrained and deliberate. Sequin and thread embroidery with pearl drops on the shawl, pearl detailing on the shirt's sleeves and border, and an organza border giving the linen a crisp defined edge. Against an all-black palette, pearl reads as a pale highlight rather than a sparkle, which is why it suits a winter formal rather than a wedding.

How to Style It

Black with pearl detailing is about as versatile as Pakistani formal wear gets, and it will take either metal — silver and white gold sit naturally with the pearls, while warm gold adds contrast. Keep the jewellery to one piece, since the embroidery runs across the bodice, sleeves and border already.

The A-line cut gives the shirt its shape, so avoid belting or cinching it. The plush shawl is the outfit's warmth as well as its drape: wrapped rather than pinned, it layers properly for a Canadian winter evening, and it is substantial enough that you may not need a coat for a short walk between car and venue. Heels or ankle boots both work; boots suit the weight of the linen in cold weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

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. The shirt is cut to a regular fit and the trousers to a relaxed fit with an elasticated waistband, which gives some tolerance. 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.

Is this suit warm enough for Canadian winter? It is one of the warmer options in Pakistani designer wear. Linen is substantially heavier than lawn or chiffon, and the plush shawl adds real warmth rather than being purely decorative. It is comfortable through autumn and early winter, and layers under a coat in deeper cold.

What is plush fabric? A dense fabric with a short, soft pile — closer to a light velvet than to chiffon. It has warmth and weight, so the shawl functions as a layer rather than just as drape.

What colour is this suit? Black throughout — shirt, shawl and trousers — with pearl and sequin detailing. Actual colour may vary slightly from your screen depending on display settings and photographic lighting.

What fabrics is this suit made from? Linen for the shirt and trousers, with an organza border on the shirt, and plush for the shawl.

Is the shawl the same as a dupatta? It serves the same purpose, but it is heavier. Maria.B. lists this piece as a shawl because plush has warmth and weight that a chiffon or net dupatta does not — it works as a winter layer as well as drape.

Can this suit be ironed? Maria.B. specifies dry clean only. Do not pass an iron directly over the embroidery, the pearl detailing or the pearl drops. Plush should never be pressed, as heat and pressure flatten the pile permanently.

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 embroidered linen A-line shirt, the plush shawl, and the linen trousers.

What occasions is this suit suitable for? Winter formal and festive occasions, family gatherings, dinners and evening events through the colder months. Maria.B. classifies this range as Luxury Pret.

Care Instructions

• Dry clean only, as specified by the brand
• Do not iron over the embroidery, pearl detailing or pearl drops
• Never press the plush shawl — heat and pressure flatten the pile permanently
• Do not bleach or use stain-removing chemicals
• Do not dry in direct sunlight
• Store hanging to protect the pile and the pearl work

Please Note

Embroidery and pearl work are largely hand-finished, so slight variation between pieces is normal and is not a defect. Occasional displacement of pearls or sequins 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.
