Rose Monogram Shirt

01

Three tops, three different collars

The Rose Monogram Shirt is dusty pink, with a pointed collar, a concealed button front and a curved hem. Its embroidery is an oval frame on the chest and a band at each cuff, worked in deep plum. The Fern Collar Shirt is black and fitted through the waist, with fern tips stitched onto the collar points and long sprays running down both sleeves.

The Indigo Geometric Tunic sits between a shirt and a short kurta. It has a band collar with a short button placket, balloon sleeves with embroidered cuffs and a red and cream geometric yoke across the shoulders, and it ends at the hip in a curved hem. If you like a top that covers the hips over slim trousers, this is the one to look at first.

02

Two trousers with embroidered hems

Both trousers keep their embroidery at the bottom, so it shows below a tunic or a kameez rather than being hidden under it. The Paisley Cuff Harem Trousers are black, with an elasticated drawstring waist, a relaxed gathered cut and embroidered paisley cuffs at the ankle.

The Navy Border Palazzos have a flat front waistband with soft pleats, a wide flowing leg and a deep geometric border at the hem. A wide leg moves as you walk, so the border is seen with every step. If you are unsure about the shape, the palazzo style page explains how it compares with straight trousers and a shalwar, and the trouser size guide covers the waist, hip and length you need to send.

03

Putting the pieces together as a co-ord set

The navy tunic and the navy palazzos share a ground colour and both carry geometric embroidery, so they work as a set. The black harem trousers go with all three tops: under the fern shirt they make an all-black outfit with the stitching at the collar, sleeves and ankles, and with the pink shirt they give a softer contrast.

Any top and any pair of trousers can be ordered together as a co-ord set, or each piece on its own. You can take one top and one pair of trousers, or just the trousers to wear with a kameez you already have. Both pairs suit a long kameez, because their embroidery sits at the hem, below the point where the kameez stops.

  • A matching set: Indigo Geometric Tunic with Navy Border Palazzos
  • All black: Fern Collar Shirt with Paisley Cuff Harem Trousers
  • A softer contrast: Rose Monogram Shirt with either pair of trousers

Work, weekends and wearing them under an abaya

For the office, the two shirts are the natural start. Their collars and button fronts read as workwear, and the embroidery is small enough to stay quiet in a meeting. All three tops have long sleeves as drawn; if you want them shorter for summer, ask for different sleeves in your quote. At the weekend, the drawstring waist on the harem trousers makes them the comfortable choice.

Under an open abaya, the line from collar to hem is what shows, so the tunic over palazzos, or a shirt over harem trousers, gives a neat, covered base. The shirt hems can be cut longer if you want them to reach the hip or below. For a shirt or trousers made to a design of your own, use our custom shirts and trousers service.

FAQ

Embroidered shirts and trousers questions

What is in the oval on the Rose Monogram Shirt?

The design shows an embroidered oval frame on the chest in deep plum, matching the cuffs. The frame can hold your initials or a short name: write the letters in your quote request, and the size, placement and thread colour are confirmed in writing before anything is cut.

Can I order just the trousers?

Yes. Every piece here is made on its own, so you can order the palazzos or the harem trousers to go with a kameez, kurta or shirt you already have. Send your waist, hip and trouser length so they are cut for you.

Can I order a top and trousers as a co-ord set?

Yes. Choose any of the three tops with either pair of trousers and ask for them as a set in one quote. The tunic and the navy palazzos already share a colour; for other pairs, say if you want the base or thread colours matched and we confirm it in writing. Each piece is cut to your own measurements.

What fabric will my shirt be made in?

Fabric is agreed with you in your written quote, from photos and descriptions, before anything is cut. If the top is for an air-conditioned office or a cool spring, say so, and ask for a lining if you want one.

Are the pictures photos of finished pieces?

No. All five are design previews, made before sewing to show the cut, the colours and the placement of the embroidery. The details of your piece are confirmed in your quote.
