Kundan Zari

Description

🧵 Dress Details

The ensemble appears to be a traditional Pakistani/Indian formal outfit, likely intended for a wedding or grand event.

🌟 Fabric & Color

• Color: Deep Mustard Yellow or Gold, often referred to as ‘Rani’ gold in traditional wear.

• Fabric: The main garment looks like Satin Silk or Raw Silk due to its rich sheen and structured fall. The dupatta/shawl appears to be the same material.

👗 Silhouette & Style

• Garment: A long, full-sleeved Kameez (shirt/tunic) cut in a classic Peshwas or a long Kalidar style (a dress with many vertical panels), reaching down to the ankle.

• Length: Floor-length.

• Dupatta/Shawl: A long, flowing piece of fabric draped over the arm, serving as the matching shawl/veil. It has a significant train.

✨ Embellishment & Workmanship

• Work Style: The embroidery is heavily focused, giving the garment an opulent look. It appears to be traditional hand-embroidery.

• Motifs: Floral and vine-like (creeper) patterns spread across the front of the shirt.

• Technique: The work looks like a combination of:

  • Silver/White Threadwork: Possibly Tilla or Zari (metallic threads) in silver or antique white/cream.

  • Kundan/Sequins: Small embellishments, possibly silver kundan or diamante/crystals, are used to fill in the motifs and add sparkle.

  • Border: The hemline of the shirt and the borders of the dupatta are heavily finished with the same intricate work.
