Defining Crepe Silk

Crepe Fabric is characterized as a crinkled, puckered or pebbly surface. The fabric is made with highly twisted yarns in weft, sometimes in the wrap, or sometimes in both. Crepe is usually made with a plain weave. The fabric is woven from all of the major fibres, natural or man-made.

Crepe Silk is a luxurious fabric with an elegant sheen or a pebbly texture obtained by using high twist yarns. The fabric gives an elegant, expensive, and posh look. Crepe Silk is extensively used to make dresses, slacks, skirts, lightweight suits, bridal gowns, and evening wear. There are different types of crape silk, each one made in a different manner, and each one giving out a different look.

At Oriental Costumes we have received our latest collection of Crepe Silk outfits. The outfits are unstitched and include materials for kameez (top), shalwar (bottoms), and dupatta (veil). These beautiful prints come in two types of Crepe Silk.

1. Crepe Silk with shiny, silky, and pebbly texture
2. Crepe Silk with smooth surface and without any texture

Each style has its own beauty and gives out a different type of elegance and sophistication.

Bride's Party Dresses

The most important outfit of a bride is of her wedding day. It is after that dress that any other outfit comes. But, every other outfit of the bride is also important and worth equal attention. The bride has many events and parties to shine at. She’s got all the dholkis to attend, Mayon to sit, Mehndi to dance, reception to glide, and many after wedding parties to attend to. At all these events she has to look flawless, beautiful, and unique.

At Oriental Costumes, we don’t just take care of the wedding outfit but all the other outfits as well. We carry a variety of unstitched, colourful, beautifully worked, creatively designed, and stunning outfits. We make sure the bride is all ready and prepared to shine through all the days before and after her wedding day; and of course on her wedding day.

We carry a range of colours all the way from blacks to whites, reds to oranges, pinks to purples, blues to greens, and all other colours, shades, and hues in between. Each outfit is a unique piece and is just as individual as the bride who is going to wear them. Combination of different colours and work give an identity to each outfit.

Although these outfits are perfect for the bride, they’re also perfect for the mother, sisters, aunties, cousins, and friends of the bride. The outfits are light enough for the bride to not look over done in parties but also heavy enough for her female family to wear to any of the wedding events. Each outfit will give the ladies a unique and elegant look. At Oriental Costumes we make sure you’re shining in every event of your life.

Grooming the Groom

Wedding Day is one of the biggest days in a girl’s life and she’s always the talk, the life, and the queen of the night. With the bride being the centre of attention, the groom is often overlooked and sometimes forgotten. Well if the bride is the queen for the day then the groom is the king for that day, right? That’s why at Oriental Costumes we make sure the groom feels just as special on his big day as the bride.

Our latest collection of Groom Sherwanis has arrived. Each Sherwani is paired with a matching qulla and khoosa style shoes.

Have a look at this White Sherwani with cream and red colour karahai on it. The karahai is simple yet intricate perfect for a groom wanting to wear something simple with a hint of glamour in it. The shoes and qulla add the simplicity further in the outfit.

This brown sherwani with brown and gold dabka work is a unique one. Dull gold dabka worked buttons compliments this bold earth tone brown. The buttons at the front, the dabka work on sleeves and neckline, the banarasi qulla, and the matching shoes all contributes into making this outfit a unique one.

This is more of a modern sherwani. The colours and the work are a different combination. This sherwani is masculine with a hint of Mughal style in it. The combination of black and green with deep red and rust gold work makes this outfit edgy and one of a kind. To bring out the red in the sherwani further, it is pared with a red qulla and bright red shoes.

These were just a few of our sherwanis. Each one is unique in its own way and gives a different personality to the groom.
