The Royal Empress

Lehengas, and the cloth they are cut from

The Royal Empress is the heaviest line we make. Rani-e-Rajasthan is built on Kimkhaab Jamawar with a pure silk blouse and a gaji silk chunnri dupatta. Eternal Heritage uses Kim Khwab with a zari organza dupatta, and Luxe and Gulbahaar Royale work in pure tissue silk. Through the middle of the range, Florianze, Noir Flora and Opaline Majesty are cut from premium Korean raw silk, which holds a lehenga panel where a softer silk would slump.

Gotta, muqaish and badla, all hand-set

The handwork here is traditional and done by hand rather than machined. Naqshi and dabka run through Mahveen and Noor-e-Feroza. Gulbahaar Royale carries resham, naqshi, dabka, muqaish and badla on a single piece. Golden Serenity and Heritage Blossom set marrori and muqaish spray across karandi net frocks, and Rani-e-Rajasthan finishes with traditional gotta lace. None of it is printed to look like embroidery. That is the difference you notice at close range, and in photographs.

What it costs and how long it takes

The line runs from PKR 43,500 to 185,000. Everything is stitched and ready to wear, so there is no eight-week custom order waiting at the end of it. The lighter Korean raw silk pieces suit reception and wedding-guest dressing; the Jamawar and tissue silk lehengas are barat and walima clothes. Delivery is three to four weeks across the line. Every order ships worldwide from Karachi, tracked.
