White Pashtun frock with silver work

Custom made. Price on request.

A white Pashtun frock with tone-on-tone embroidery worked in vertical panels across the yoke and in bands at the cuffs, so the detail reads as texture rather than colour. The round neckline has a short centre slit, the long sleeves are straight, and the skirt gathers below the yoke to around the knee. It comes with a matching white shalwar and a long white scarf, and all three pieces are custom tailored to your measurements.

Made to measure

Every piece starts with a consultation at the studio in Officer, where we talk through the design, the fabric and your date. We take your measurements and cut to them, then fit the piece once or twice before it is finished.

Typical timeline: Four to eight weeks, depending on the embroidery, mirror work and trims. Bridal gowns need three months.

Bring the shoes and undergarments you will wear with it, so the length and fit are set correctly.
