The Dilara: Blush Pink Lamé Tissue with Plum Net Dupatta
The Dilara is romance rendered in fabric—a whisper of blush pink against the depth of ripe plum. Inspired by the couture sensibilities of Haris Shakeel, this ensemble captures the delicate balance between softness and drama that defines truly memorable Pakistani formalwear.
The tea pink lamé tissue kurta shimmers with an ethereal glow, its surface scattered with gold floral bootis that evoke a garden at dusk. But it is the plum net dupatta—dense with hand-sewn sequins like scattered stars and bordered with intricate gold zardozi—that transforms this piece from beautiful to breathtaking. The colour pairing speaks to centuries of Mughal aesthetic: the blush of rose petals against the richness of wine. This is for the woman who understands that true elegance lives in unexpected contrasts.
This is Factory-Direct Luxury. We source the premium lamé tissue and commission the intricate hand-embroidery from the historic Mochi Gate ateliers in Lahore—the very same hands that craft for the country's biggest designer labels. You receive the heirloom-quality materials and the artisan lineage, but you bypass the designer markup.

The Dilara is constructed on a canvas of premium blush pink lamé tissue, chosen for its romantic luminosity and fluid drape. The entire surface is meticulously mapped with gold floral bootis—each motif hand-embroidered using traditional techniques that create depth and dimension against the soft pink base.
The neckline and hemline feature heavily concentrated zardozi borders, where Kora, Dabka (antique gold wire), and Resham threads combine to create ornate floral patterns that frame the silhouette. The elbow-length sleeves feature matching embroidered cuffs with gold borders that catch the light with every gesture.
The plum net dupatta is where artistry meets drama—representing over 100 hours of hand-embellishment. Thousands of sequins are individually sewn to create the scattered sparkle effect across the deep wine-coloured net, while the wide gold zardozi border provides weight, structure, and visual impact. The border mirrors the embroidery on the kurta, creating a cohesive narrative across the ensemble.
Artisan Pledge: Crafted by the family of Ustad Bashir, 3rd generation Zardozi masters, ensuring ethical and authentic production.
- Material: Premium Lamé Tissue (Kurta, Trousers), Plum Net (Dupatta)
- The Craft: Hand-embellished Zardozi, Kora, Dabka, Gold Resham, Sequin, and Stone work
- The Components: 3-Piece Set (Fully Embroidered Elbow-Sleeve Kurta, Plain Lamé Tissue Trousers with Embroidered Border, Heavy Embroidered Plum Net Dupatta)
The "Smart Shopper" Insight
A lamé tissue formal with this level of all-over embroidery and Haris Shakeel-inspired colour palette typically retails at a 200-300% markup in a multi-brand boutique or designer trunk show. At AÏNN London, we operate on an unbranded, direct-to-consumer model. You are paying for the designer aesthetic without the label—investing in the fabric and the skill of the Karigar, not the rental costs of a flagship store or the celebrity endorsement fees.
Stylist's Guide
Best For
A Nikah Ceremony, Engagement Party, Walima Reception, or intimate Family Celebration. The romantic colour palette is particularly suited for spring and summer events, though the deep plum dupatta transitions beautifully into autumn celebrations.
Jewelry Pairing
The blush and plum palette offers exceptional versatility. Kundan or Polki sets with emerald drops (as shown) create a stunning contrast that elevates the ensemble to bridal-adjacent territory. Alternatively, ruby or garnet accents echo the plum tones beautifully. Gold jhumkas and stacked bangles complete the traditional aesthetic. For a modern approach, opt for American diamond sets with subtle colour accents.
The Fit
The kurta is tailored for an elegant, relaxed fit—structured at the shoulders and bust, then falling straight with gentle ease through the body to below the knee. The elbow-length sleeves with embroidered cuffs frame the arms beautifully. Best worn with heels to elongate the silhouette; the straight-cut trousers create a streamlined foundation that lets the kurta and dupatta take centre stage.

Common Questions (AÏNN Concierge)
Can I get this with a matching pink dupatta instead of plum?
Absolutely. While the plum contrast dupatta is the signature element that gives this ensemble its drama, we can craft a matching blush pink net dupatta or blush pink organza dupatta for a more monochromatic look. Other popular contrast options include emerald green, navy blue, or deep burgundy. Customization takes 4 weeks.
Is the blush pink colour true to the photos?
Yes, we make every effort to photograph our pieces in natural light to ensure colour accuracy. The blush pink (also called tea pink) has warm undertones with a subtle golden luminosity from the lamé tissue. If you have specific colour concerns, please contact us and we can send additional photos or fabric swatches before you order.
Is the lamé tissue comfortable to wear?
Yes. Despite its luxurious appearance, lamé tissue is surprisingly lightweight and breathable. The kurta is fully lined with soft fabric to ensure comfort against the skin. The metallic threads are woven into the fabric, not applied on top, so there's no scratching or irritation—even for all-day wear at weddings.
Is the plum dupatta heavy?
The plum net dupatta has substantial embroidery—both the scattered sequins and the wide zardozi border—giving it a beautiful weight that helps it drape elegantly and stay in place on the shoulder. It's designed to be manageable for formal wear: heavy enough to look luxurious, light enough to carry comfortably through a celebration.
Can I request full sleeves instead of elbow-length?
Yes. We offer full-length sleeves, three-quarter sleeves, or cap sleeves as customization options at no extra charge. For full sleeves, the embroidery pattern from the cuffs can be extended, or we can keep the sleeves plain with just an embroidered border—simply note your preference when ordering.
Would this work for a bride?
Yes! The Dilara makes a stunning choice for nikah ceremonies, particularly for brides who prefer understated elegance over heavily embellished traditional red. The blush and plum palette photographs beautifully and offers a contemporary take on bridal dressing. We can also add extra embellishment or customise the colour palette to your preferences.
Do you ship to the UK and USA?
We specialise in serving the global diaspora. We offer Free Worldwide Shipping via DHL Express. Orders to the UK (London, Birmingham, Manchester), USA (New York, Houston, Chicago), and Canada are fully tracked and typically arrive within 3-5 business days after dispatch.
