The dawn of the festive season brings with it moments of tradition, celebration, togetherness, and joy that are elevated by selecting the perfect dress design that not only honours age-old cultural customs but also reflects each individual’s personal style.
As the spirit of tradition comes alive through fashion, opt for premium unstitched festive designs from SAPPHIRE and get them stitched into timeless and trendy pieces for the incoming wedding season! Unstitched dress designs stand as versatile canvases that each person can rework according to their signature style to create something truly extraordinary.
Let your festive looks take center stage this wedding season and get inspired by this stitching guide featuring five stunning dress designs, each tailored and transformed into not one but two distinct suit designs, each exemplifying a different stitching style that can be characterised as either “Traditional” or “Modern Fusion.”
Join us as we discover the endless fashion possibilities that unstitched dresses pose by curating two unique looks for Dholak, Nikkah, Mehndi, Baraat, and Walima events for this wedding season with SAPPHIRE Unstitched – Festive I Collection!
1. NIKKAH
Let’s start with the event that puts all the festivities in motion – the Nikkah!
Depending on whether the Nikkah is an intimate or extravagant affair, you will decide your outfit. This blush pink embroidered raw silk suit design is one that can be styled for both small and big weddings, depending on how you choose to accessorise it. Let’s explore two different styles.
LOOK 1: TRADITIONAL
If you have decided to opt for the traditional route with your Nikkah look, get this unstitched suit design stitched into flared garara pants, a short kurta design with long sleeves, and the dupatta design draped elegantly on the side.
Style this classic outfit with curled hair, traditional jewellery, and embellished khussay shoes to exude old world charm this wedding season!
LOOK 2: MODERN FUSION
However, if your signature style isn’t entirely traditional, add a contemporary twist to your look with a more modern interpretation of this unstitched outfit. Tailor this fabric into a short and cropped sleeveless blouse, with a panelled skirt-esque lehenga and the dupatta design draped around your shoulders.
Accessorise this look with a structured bun decorated with white flowers, metallic bangles, and a statement tikka as the focal point of the look.
2. DHOLKI
When colour, shimmer, and joy are in the memo, you know it’s Dholki time!
Whether you’re the Dulhan at the Dholki, the sister of the bride, the bridesmaid on duty, or even just the random guest, this orange embroidered raw silk suit design is absolutely perfect. Depending on your vibe, there are two different stitching styles you can choose from, but no matter which design you opt for, don’t forget the matching gajray!
LOOK 1: TRADITIONAL
Channel that vintage charm with the more classic option of the two by getting it tailored into a shirt design with puffed up sleeves and cigarette pants, with the dupatta design draped around both shoulders.
Elevate this style with a matching potli, gold heels, traditional pearl choker, and a dangling tikka set in between a voluminous blowout!
LOOK 2: MODERN FUSION
The second option is for those who like a more modern and edgy look; with a short sleeveless kurti design and a flared bell bottom trouser design, this outfit will definitely make an impression!
Enhance this look further with a minimal pearl choker, matching earrings, metallic bangles, a half updo, embellished shoes, and a modern metallic clutch
3. MEHNDI
As you get deeper into the wedding season, you are bound to get invited to a Mehndi event or two!
For dancing the night away, all you need is a look that is easy and breezy, yet festive enough to make you stand out. Lucky for you we have not one but two different styles you can get SAPPHIRE’s emerald green embroidered net suit design stitched, for a Mehndi event.
LOOK 1: TRADITIONAL
Nothing is more traditional than a classic salwar which is why our first stitching style is essentially a quintessential shalwar kameez design that is perfect for wearing to a Mehndi. Tailored into a knee length kameez design and an embroidered salwar, paired with a net dupatta design on the side.
Don’t skimp on the accessories for this look and go all out with a twisted open hairdo decorated with an emerald green tikka, matching jhumkay, bangles, and gold heels!
LOOK 2: MODERN FUSION
To create a trendier look with the same unstitched dress design, opt for a short, flared peplum and a wide legged, flared trouser design with the dupatta design on the side.
Accentuate this trendy look with gold heels, a contemporary necklace, and statement dangling earrings with the hair straightened and pulled back.
4. BARAAT
The summit of any wedding, Baraat is THE event you go all out for!
For the festive occasion in which more is more, we have opted for this stunning, navy blue embroidered chiffon suit design which can be stitched into two equally dazzling styles for creating a memorable look this wedding season.
LOOK 1: TRADITIONAL
For a timeless Baraat look, opt for getting this unstitched design stitched into a traditional flared pishwas and a churidar pajama, with the flowing organza dupatta on the side.
Go fully traditional with an heirloom neckpiece, jhumkay, panjagla, and a jhoomar paired with a sideswept wavy hairdo.
LOOK 2: MODERN FUSION
On the other hand, if you are in the mood for creating a contemporary statement, let the outfit do the talking by getting it tailored into a sleeveless long frock design with a slit down the middle, paired with flowy sharara pants.
Complement this look with stiletto heels, silver shimmery bangles, modern dangly earrings, and loose wavy hair with a middle part!
5. WALIMA
The last leg of the wedding affair, the Walima look is one that is subtle, shimmery, and soft.
Taking this into account, we have handpicked this mauve embroidered organza suit design from SAPPHIRE which is decorated with intricate embellishments so that you don’t need to put in a lot of effort accessorising it. Let’s check out the two different stitching styles you can choose from!
LOOK 1: TRADITIONAL
The first option is more classic and timeless with a long yet structured flared trouser design paired with an A-line kurti design and the organza dupatta around the neck.
Uplift this OOTD or OOTN with tilla khussay and statement jhumkay, paired with a twisted hairdo.
LOOK 2: MODERN FUSION
The second option takes a more modern route and is tailored into a short kurta design, and a flared, wide legged trouser design with the organza dupatta wrapped around the shoulders.
Pair this look with embellished shoes, a shimmery mini-bag, and elevated pearl earrings!
