Maxi gown in tissue silk and American Katan
This long gown takes a sweetheart neckline, full sleeves and a deep round back crossed by tie cords that end in hanging latkans. The waist is sharply marked. From there the 14-kali skirt reaches the floor over an attached cancan. Aari, dabka, kora, nakshi, sequin and spray work in antique silver, gold, rose gold and silver cover the outfit. They are most concentrated above the waist and along an extra-wide hem band, thinner in between. The dupatta has spaced motifs and a deep, wave-edged border. Panelled and silk lined, the set is around 7 kg in weight.
Pomegranate red
A pomegranate is darker than it seems until light finds it. This deep red behaves the same, sinking in the folds and clearing to bright red wherever light falls full on it. Antique silver, gold, rose gold and silver share the surface without agreeing on one metallic tone, and that mix spares the bodice from becoming one sheet of shine.
Work crowds the sweetheart neckline, the shoulders and the cuffs. Through the middle of the skirt it thins to trailing vines, so the red shows most there, even from across a room. Low on the front, large paired crests break into the vines. Below them the hem is built like the fruit’s inside: narrow upright chambers packed close around larger forms at the centre.
For a Nikkah maxi, the red lends gravity. The latkans on the back ties are a detail that waits for her to move.
Worn at the Nikkah, then the Baraat
Deep red with this weight of gold and silver suits a Nikkah kept traditional, and a Baraat as well. It joins cream, ivory and pink maxis among the Nikkah dresses. Its counterpart, the Ammara Khan Nikkah Maxi, also an inspired version, goes cool instead: ice blue, a boat neck and a 5+ yard dupatta. In the photographs it is styled with an antique-gold choker, earrings, tikka and nath, none of which comes with the dress. Inside the sweetheart neckline a layered haar fits, and antique-gold kundan would pick up the tones in the embroidery.

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