Maria.B. DW-W25-74 — Embroidered Linen Stitched 3-Piece Suit in Purple | Zahra Apparel Collection

Maria.B. DW-W25-74 is a ready-to-wear, fully stitched three-piece embroidered linen suit in purple, from Maria.B.'s Winter luxury pret line, available in Canada from Zahra Apparel Collection. The straight-cut shirt is linen in a regular fit, with a hand-embellished Kashmiri-style neckline, an embroidered dyed front, an embroidered organza border and embroidered sleeves finished with scalloped organza detailing. It is paired with a burnout Rajo net dupatta worked in sequin and thread embroidery, and a dyed linen straight-leg trouser. 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 linen gives it weight for cooler weather, and Maria.B. place it in their dinner edit — it is an evening and occasion piece.

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

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-W25-74, and full collection sets.

About the Fabrics and Craft

Kashmiri embellishment is the detail that sets this neckline apart, and it is worth understanding what you are paying for. Kashmiri needlework — the tradition that produced the embroidered shawls Kashmir is known for — is characterised by dense, fine, hand-worked stitching in naturalistic floral and paisley motifs, built up thread by thread rather than produced on a machine. Maria.B. specify that this neckline is hand-embellished, which means the work was done by a person rather than an embroidery machine. Hand work has small irregularities machine work does not, and that is the point: it is why no two pieces are quite identical, and why hand-embellished necklines sit at the top of a pret collection rather than the middle.

Linen is used for both the shirt and the trouser here. Linen has a dry, slightly textured hand and a natural slub in the weave, and it hangs with real weight rather than floating — which is what makes it a cooler-weather fabric. On a straight-cut shirt it falls cleanly in a vertical line, and on a straight-leg trouser it holds the leg line without clinging. It is also one of the oldest and most durable textile fibres in use, and it improves with wear rather than degrading.

Burnout Rajo net is the dupatta. Net is a fine open-mesh fabric, almost weightless, and the burnout process chemically dissolves parts of the structure in a set pattern, leaving sheer areas against more solid ones. The pattern is therefore part of the fabric rather than printed on top of it, and it shifts as the light and the drape change. Combined with sequin and thread embroidery, it gives a dupatta that reads as substantial without weighing anything on the shoulders.

Organza appears twice as a finishing fabric — as an embroidered border on the shirt and as scalloped detailing on the border and sleeves. Organza is crisp and holds a shape, which is exactly what a scalloped edge needs: a softer fabric would let the curves collapse.

How to Style It

Purple is a colour most people own less of than they should, and it carries metal differently depending on the depth of the shade. Gold warms it and is the safer choice with Kashmiri work, which traditionally reads as warm. Silver or oxidised silver pushes it cooler and more contemporary, and works well if the purple is on the deeper, more violet end. Avoid rose gold, which fights with purple.

The neckline is hand-embellished and it is the focal point of the whole suit, so leave the neck bare or wear something very fine — the one thing not to do is cover it with a statement necklace. Earrings carry the look: jhumkas, chandbalis or long drops. Let the burnout net dupatta fall loose so the pattern in the fabric stays visible; pinning it flat defeats the burnout entirely. Heels in gold, nude or deep plum, and a small clutch. For a Canadian winter dinner, a wool wrap or pashmina over the shoulders rather than a structured coat that will crush the organza scalloping on the sleeves.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 burnout net dupatta, and the stitched linen trouser.

What does "hand-embellished Kashmiri neckline" mean? Kashmiri needlework is a traditional style of dense, fine floral and paisley embroidery associated with the Kashmir region. "Hand-embellished" means a person worked this neckline by hand rather than it being produced on an embroidery machine, which is why it carries small natural variations from piece to piece.

What is burnout net? Net is a fine open-mesh fabric. The burnout process dissolves parts of the structure in a set pattern, leaving sheer areas next to more solid ones, so the pattern is woven into the fabric itself rather than printed on it.

Is this warm enough for a Canadian winter? It is a cooler-weather suit. Linen is substantially heavier than the lawn used in summer collections, so it is comfortable indoors through winter and outdoors in autumn. You would wear a coat or wrap 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. The hand embellishment, the sequin work and the burnout net dupatta will all be damaged by washing.

What occasions is this suit suitable for? Dinners, festive gatherings, engagement functions, formal evening events and occasion wear through the autumn and winter.

Care Instructions

• Dry clean only
• Do not wash, bleach or tumble dry
• Do not iron directly over the hand-embellished neckline, embroidery or sequins
• Handle the burnout net dupatta gently — net snags easily on jewellery and rough surfaces
• Hang rather than fold, so the scalloped organza detailing is not creased

Please Note

Actual colours may vary slightly from your screen depending on display settings. Because the neckline is hand-embellished, small variations in the embellishment from one garment to the next are normal and are a mark of hand work rather than a fault. Embroidery and sequin placement may also differ marginally between pieces. Please check the size chart before ordering.
