Dilkash is cut from pure navy velvet, lit with a sea green and deep pink combination — a beautifully worked neckline and perfectly laid daaman details, finished in the finest handwork and resham. Against the deep pile, the gold-toned embroidery reads like inlay.
It is paired with an oversized crushed pure silk dupatta — teal falling from one shoulder, magenta from the other — finished with tilla-work borders, and pure raw silk pants carrying work on the trim. Saboor Aly wore Dilkash for the RJ's Pret campaign.
Velvet of this depth belongs to the cooler wedding months: walima and formal evenings, festive dinners, any night that asks for richness without noise.
Which occasions suit this piece? Walima and formal evenings, festive dinners and Eid nights — navy velvet is the winter wedding season's quietest luxury.
What exactly is included? Three pieces are described: the pure navy velvet shirt, the oversized crushed pure silk dupatta with tilla-work borders, and the pure raw silk pants with a worked trim.
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.
