Aafreen is a royal affair for the big day — a traditional peshwas inspired by the Mughal era, cut with extra flare and embodied in rich velvet details, its bodice heavily worked and wide borders running the full sweep of the ghera. The finest hand techniques are layered here: sequins, zardozi, dabka and beads, each catching light at a different depth.
The heavy-bordered organza dupatta adds the splendour the silhouette deserves, and the ensemble arrives with a sequinned jaal dupatta and a luxe velvet pouch besides.
Yumna Zaidi wears Aafreen in the campaign for RJ's Pret; they carry the pouch in hand with the dupatta framing the face — a study in how this piece will photograph on a barat stage.
Which occasions suit this piece? Barat and bridal wear above all — this is a wedding-day peshwas, equally at home at the most formal evening functions of the week.
What exactly is included? Four pieces: the velvet-detailed peshwas, the heavy-bordered organza dupatta, the sequinned jaal dupatta and the luxe velvet pouch.
How long until it arrives? Nothing is sold ready-stitched. Where the cloth is already in stock, your piece is cut and stitched to your size and dispatched in 3 to 7 working days; formal and heavily hand-worked pieces take 4 to 8 weeks. This page states which applies.
