Maria.B. DW-W25-33 — Embroidered Cotton Velvet Stitched 3-Piece Suit in Off-White with Black Dupatta | Zahra Apparel Collection

Maria.B. DW-W25-33 is a ready-to-wear, fully stitched three-piece cotton velvet suit from Maria.B.'s Winter luxury pret line, available in Canada from Zahra Apparel Collection. The straight-cut shirt is off-white cotton velvet with an embroidered neckline, embroidered side seams and border, and fitted sleeves finished with an embroidered border. It is paired with matching off-white cotton velvet culottes and a black organza dupatta with an embroidered border on all four sides — a two-tone outfit rather than a single-colour one. Every piece is stitched by the brand itself, so it arrives finished to Maria.B.'s own standard and is ready to wear straight out of the box — no tailor, no waiting, no stitching to arrange. The velvet makes it a cooler-weather piece, suited to winter lunches, festive gatherings and formal daytime and evening events.

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. You receive a finished garment, not fabric. There is nothing to arrange after it arrives.
• Guaranteed authenticity. We are an authorized reseller and source directly from the manufacturer. Every suit 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 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-W25-33, 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.

What's Included

This is a complete 3-piece stitched suit, ready to wear:

• Shirt (kameez) — off-white cotton velvet, straight cut, with an embroidered neckline, embroidered side seams and an embroidered border
• Sleeves — fitted, with an embroidered border
• Dupatta — black dyed organza with an embroidered border on all four sides
• Culottes — off-white cotton velvet with an elasticated waistband

Please note the colour combination: the shirt and culottes are off-white and the dupatta is black. This is a two-tone outfit, not an all-black or all-white one.

Specifications

About the Fabrics

Cotton velvet is velvet woven from cotton rather than silk or synthetic fibre, and the difference shows. It has the characteristic dense pile and soft hand of velvet, but a softer, more matte lustre instead of the high shine of synthetic velvet, and it breathes far better — which is what makes it wearable indoors through a long winter event rather than only for short periods. On off-white it reads as warm and rich rather than stark, because the pile catches light at different angles across the surface. It also holds embroidery exceptionally well, since the raised pile gives stitching something to sit proud of.

Organza for the dupatta is a deliberate contrast. Where the velvet is dense, matte and weighty, organza is sheer, crisp and almost weightless. Setting a black organza dupatta against an off-white velvet suit creates contrast in three dimensions at once — colour, texture and weight — which is why this outfit reads as considered rather than simply two-tone.

How to Style It

The styling work is already done for you here: off-white velvet against a black organza dupatta is the outfit's entire idea, and the job is not to interfere with it. Gold jewellery is the right call — it warms the off-white and lifts the black without introducing a third colour. Pearl works too. Avoid adding a fourth colour anywhere; a coloured bag or shoe breaks the contrast the design is built on. Black or metallic gold heels, and a small black or gold clutch. Let the dupatta fall open and loose so the black reads as a long vertical line against the off-white — pinning it flat across the chest kills the effect. The culottes are cropped and wide, so keep the shoe visible and the ankle clean rather than wearing boots. For winter outerwear, a camel or black wool coat; avoid anything patterned.

A practical note on off-white: this is a pale velvet, so it marks more easily than a dark suit. It is worth being mindful at a sit-down meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colour is this suit? The shirt and culottes are off-white and the dupatta is black. It is a two-tone outfit. Maria.B. labels the variant "Black" after the dupatta, which can be misleading — the main garment is off-white.

Is this suit stitched or unstitched? It is fully stitched and ready to wear. Zahra Apparel Collection sells stitched clothing only — we do not sell unstitched fabric. The stitching is done by the brand itself, so the garment arrives finished to the designer house's own standard.

How many pieces are included? Three: the stitched shirt, the black organza dupatta, and the stitched cotton velvet culottes.

What is cotton velvet? Velvet woven from cotton rather than silk or synthetic fibre. It has the soft, dense pile of velvet with a more matte finish than synthetic versions, and it breathes better, which makes it comfortable to wear indoors for long periods.

What are culottes? Culottes are a wide-legged, cropped trouser that falls loosely rather than following the line of the leg, sitting somewhere between a trouser and a skirt in appearance.

Is this warm enough for a Canadian winter? It is a winter-weight suit. Cotton velvet is substantially heavier and warmer than the lawn used in summer collections, so it is comfortable indoors through winter and outdoors in autumn. You would still wear a coat over it outside in deep winter.

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

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 fast is delivery compared to ordering from Pakistan? Considerably faster. Because the stock is already in Canada, delivery takes days rather than the several weeks an international order from Pakistan normally requires, and there is no risk of the parcel being held at the border.

Can you order a design that isn't on your website? Yes. We take special pre-orders directly from the manufacturer. If you want a specific design code, colourway or collection from Maria.B. or another Pakistani designer brand that we do not currently stock, contact us and we will source it for you, stitched and ready to wear.

Can this be washed at home? No. This is a dry clean only garment. Velvet is particularly vulnerable to washing — the pile crushes and will not recover.

How should velvet be stored? Hang it rather than folding it. Folded velvet develops permanent crease marks where the pile is crushed, and those do not steam out the way creases in a woven fabric do.

What occasions is this suit suitable for? Winter lunches, festive gatherings, engagement functions, formal daytime events and evening dinners.

Care Instructions

• Dry clean only
• Do not wash, bleach or tumble dry
• Never iron directly on the velvet pile — it will crush and leave a permanent flat mark
• Steam from a distance to release creases, holding the fabric vertically
• Hang rather than fold, so the pile is not crushed in storage
• Handle the organza dupatta gently; it is a delicate fabric

Please Note

The shirt and culottes are off-white; the dupatta is black. Actual colours may vary slightly from your screen depending on display settings — velvet in particular photographs lighter or darker depending on the angle of the pile. Embroidery placement may differ marginally between pieces, as each is finished by hand. Please check the size chart before ordering.
