Pakistani Party Wear Dresses with as Much Shine as You Want

How much embroidery does the party call for?

• Medium work: scattered motifs on the shirt with richer borders at the neckline, cuffs and hem. Right for a dholki, a birthday dinner or an Eid evening at home, where you want to look dressed without outshining the hosts.
• Heavy work: zardozi, dabka, sequins and pearls across the front, the sleeves and the dupatta. Save it for an engagement party or the evening events of a wedding, when the hall is full and the lights are low.
• Weight: all-over work adds weight to the shirt and dupatta, so if you will dance for hours, a medium-worked shirt over a gharara is the lighter choice. Send us the design on WhatsApp if you want a second opinion.

Dresses for wedding party nights

The nights around a wedding, from the dholki and mehndi to the reception, are where party wear earns its keep. Ask the family about a colour theme before you choose, and leave bright bridal red to the bride. Pick a cut you can dance in: a short shirt over a gharara or sharara, or a flared pishwas or anarkali. Our guest outfits by wedding function cover the ceremonies themselves, and our Pakistani formal wear suits a dinner with a dress code.

Shapes, from gharara to open gown

A gharara fits close to the knee and flares below it, while a sharara widens from the hip; compare both in our sharara and gharara sets. A long shirt over straight trousers is the calmest choice for a long dinner. An open gown over a lehenga or a lehenga saree is the dressiest evening look, and for one-piece silhouettes see our Pakistani maxi dresses and flared frocks. If the engagement is your own, start with our engagement outfits.

Why choose Shadi Dress for Pakistani party wear dresses

Shadi Dress has made bridal wear since 2013, and in the same workshops in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad our own party wear designs are embroidered and every outfit is stitched, so it arrives in Canada finished and fitted. We courier it directly to any Canadian address, with import charges normally prepaid by us; if a courier ever asks you for customs, duty or tax, send us the receipt and we refund the verified amount. Before dispatch you can ask for photos or a video of the finished outfit, and you can pay by PayPal, card or bank transfer, with every price shown in Canadian dollars.

Party wear FAQs

Can I change the colour or the embroidery colour?

On many of our own designs, yes: the colour, the embroidery colour, the sleeves, the neckline and the length can be changed before stitching starts. Send us the design on WhatsApp with what you would like changed, and we confirm before you order whether that design allows it.

My party is soon. Will the outfit arrive in time?

Check the estimated date for each delivery option on the product page, and leave a few days to try the outfit on. If the date looks tight, message us the design and your party date before ordering, and we will tell you honestly whether it can be done.

Can I return party wear?

No. Because we cut and stitch each outfit for one customer, it cannot be returned or exchanged once delivered. Careful measurements, a question on WhatsApp before you order and the video before dispatch are the best ways to get it right.
