Before adding to cart

  • Confirm whether the set includes kameez, bottom and dupatta.
  • Check stitched, semi-stitched or unstitched status.
  • Compare body measurements with the product chart rather than relying on a usual size.
  • Review lining, sleeve and neckline details.
  • Plan for the published delivery timeframe and any tailoring.
