Description
The Zimal Zehra: Dusty Rose Gold Net Bridal Maxi with Emerald Shawl
The Editor's Note
The Zimal Zehra is a masterclass in regal color theory, designed for the bride who understands the power of contrast. The base silhouette is a luminescent Dusty Rose Gold (Champagne) Maxi, rendered in sheer French Net to allow the heavy Zardozi work to ""float"" on the body. The narrative twist comes in the form of a rich Emerald Green Silk Shawl, which grounds the ethereal gold with a strike of heritage luxury. It is the definitive look for a grand Walima or a royal-themed Nikkah.
This is Factory-Direct Luxury. We source the premium Net and Banarsi fabrics directly from the importers and commission the embroidery from the historic Mochi Gate ateliers. You receive the same heirloom-quality craftsmanship found in Lahore's top designer studios, but you bypass the exorbitant label markup.
Availability: Custom Order (Ready in aprox 4 weekss) with Free Worldwide Shipping to the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia.
The Artisan's DNA (Technical Specifications)
The Zimal Zehra is a complex 4-piece architectural ensemble. The Maxi is crafted from high-tensile French Net, heavily encrusted with vertical panels of Kora and Dabka (antique gold wire) interlaced with Resham floral accents in deep red. The Maxi features a front slit that reveals the voluminous Banarsi Silk Lehenga underneath, providing structure and flare.
This set features the coveted ""Double Dupatta"" configuration: a lighter Net veil with heavy borders for the head, and a contrasting Emerald Green Silk Shawl for the shoulder. This represents over 300 hours of hand-embellishment.
Artisan Pledge: Crafted by the family of Ustad Bashir, 3rd generation Zardozi masters, ensuring ethical and authentic production.
- Material: French Net (Maxi), Banarsi Silk (Lehenga), Silk (Shawl), Net (Veil).
- The Craft: Hand-embellished Zardozi, Kora, Dabka, Stone work, and Resham.
- The Components: 4-Piece Set (Embellished Maxi, Banarsi Lehenga, Green Silk Shawl, Net Veil). Includes Cancan.
The ""Smart Shopper"" Insight
A double-dupatta bridal set involving intricate Zardozi craftsmanship and premium Banarsi fabric typically commands a ""Couture Premium"" of 300-400% at designer boutiques. At AÏNN London, we operate on an unbranded, direct-to-consumer model. You are paying for the tangible value—the 80g Pure Silk finishings and the artisan hours—not for the runway show. This is designer quality without the label.
Stylist's Guide
- Best For: A Grand Walima, a Royal Nikkah, or a traditional Baraat (if customized to Red).
- Jewelry Pairing: The neckline is scooped and heavy, calling for a substantial Choker set. Opt for Antique Gold or Polki with Emerald drops to tie in the green shawl. A traditional Jhumar is essential.
- The Fit: The Maxi is tailored to be fitted at the bodice and waist, flaring out dramatically over the structured Banarsi lehenga. The Cancan is included to maintain this shape.

Common Questions (AÏNN Concierge)
What is the advantage of the Double Dupatta?
The Zimal Zehra includes two dupattas for a true royal aesthetic. The sheer Net Veil is light enough to be worn over the head without hiding your jewelry, while the heavier Silk Shawl adds drama and regal contrast when draped over the shoulder or arm.
Can I change the contrast color of the shawl?
Yes. While the Emerald Green is stunning, we can customize the shawl in 35 different artisan colors. A Deep Maroon or a matching Dusty Rose are popular alternatives. Customization requires a aprox 4 weeks lead time.
How is the shipment secured for international delivery?
We offer Free Worldwide Shipping via DHL Express. Given the weight of the double dupatta set and the Banarsi lehenga, we use specialized packaging to ensure the structure is protected. Deliveries to the UK, USA, and Canada are fully tracked and insured.
