Zarkash

Description

1. The Pishwas (Upper Gown)

• Fabric: Likely Tissue Silk or Metallic Organza. It has a distinct “crisp” yet fluid drape that reflects light beautifully.

• Details: The bodice features heavy Zardozi work (hand embroidery using metallic threads). You can see fine tilla work, sequins, and perhaps small pearls or crystals embedded in the floral motifs along the hem and neckline.

2. The Lehenga (Under-skirt)

• Fabric: Jamawar or Banarasi Silk. This provides the structure needed to hold the flare of the pishwas.

• Details: It features a matching embroidered border (patti) at the bottom to create a cohesive layered look.

3. The Dupatta

• Fabric: Fine Net or Crinkle Chiffon.

• Details: It appears to have a “four-sided” border (matha patti style) with delicate spray (chan) of sequins across the center, finished with green piping to match the bangles and jewelry accents.

Styling Tip

The use of emerald green bangles in the photo is a classic “regal” choice. To elevate this further, you could pair it with a traditional Jhumar (side headpiece) and a choker in Polki or Kundan.
