Dresses by style and occasion
Pink is not one colour but a long run of them, from a blush so faint it is nearly cream, through rose and dusty pink, to a fuchsia that stops conversation. This page sorts our pink dresses by shade, so you know which pink you are getting before you order. Five are drawn in pink: a rose pink tiered maxi in chiffon, a blush frock scattered with pearls, a dusty rose frock covered in fabric roses, a hot pink frock traced with silver sequin vines and a rose gold sequin gown. Five more embroidered dresses, pictured in other colours, can be made on the pink of your choice. Every one is cut in Pakistan, in a size from S to XL or to your own measurements, and sent to you with delivery and import charges already in the quote.

Ask three people for a pink dress and you will get three different colours back. Shops stretch the word to cover everything from a whisper of blush to a magenta with purple in it, so on this page each shade is named for the dress actually drawn in it, from the palest to the brightest:
The frocks are made in the pinks they are drawn in, and the Tiered Maxi in its Rose Pink, so for a shade we have not drawn there are two routes. The long sleeve seamed maxi dress, a plain fitted maxi listed in six colours, can be made in a colour outside those six, so light pink or hot pink is an ordinary request. The five embroidered dresses on this page, the Lilac Tiered, the Wisteria, the Wildflower, the Emerald Rose Anarkali and the Royal Blue Yoke Dress, can each be made on another base colour, with the thread changed to suit it. No pink version has been drawn yet, so they are pictured in their own colours: judge the shape, then picture it in your pink. Write the shade in the changes box and it goes into your written quote before anything is cut.
Pink is forgiving, and most people can wear more than one of them. Warm and olive undertones usually look well in pinks with a little yellow or peach in them: blush, rose gold, tea pink and coral. Cool undertones take the blue-leaning pinks, fuchsia, magenta and a cool baby pink, without turning sallow. Deep skin carries hot pink and rose gold with real clarity, and very fair skin often does better in rose or dusty pink than in a blush that vanishes against it. How to find your skin undertone has the quick wrist test. If your pink leans towards orange, our coral frock with white embroidery may be closer than anything here; peach, coral or salmon? explains the difference.

Two designs are long as drawn. The Tiered Maxi in Rose Pink drops from a gathered yoke into three tiers of chiffon that reach the floor, with balloon sleeves and a split band collar: covered, easy, and the pink maxi dress for a daytime wedding, an Eid lunch or a long afternoon in a garden. The rose gold sequin gown is its opposite, on fine straps with a V neck, fitted through the body and flaring from the hip to the floor, the straps crossing over an open back. Both are cut to your height, so give us the length you want in the shoes you plan to wear.
Three of the embroidered dresses are floor length too and can be made on pink, and any frock can be lengthened to the floor, which turns the blush frock into a light pink long dress and the dusty rose frock into a gown covered in roses:
For a formal dinner, a gala or an awards night, the rose gold gown is the obvious pink gown: sequins from neck to hem, a slim line and a low back. It can be made with sleeves and a higher neckline, chosen on the order form, if the evening calls for covered arms. The dusty rose frock cut to the floor is softer and more romantic, with its corset back laced in ribbon, and the Emerald Rose on a pink base gives you a long sleeve gown with embroidery instead of sequins. More long shapes in other colours are on evening dresses and maxi dresses.
Four designs sit between the knee and the calf. The blush frock ends in soft points at mid-calf, the dusty rose frock in layered ruffles at the same length, and on a pink base the Wisteria flares from a square neck to mid-calf while the Lilac Tiered stops just below the knee under a scalloped embroidered hem. It is the easiest length for a garden party, a christening or a day at the races, in heels or flat sandals. Every frock can be cut anywhere from the knee to the floor; knee and midi dress lengths in inches turns a look into a number, and midi dresses has more shapes.
A pink mini dress usually means a hem well above the knee, and we would rather be straight with you: the shortest length in our frock notes is the knee. The fuchsia frock has the shortest skirt drawn on this page, full and flared, and at the knee it is the hot pink party dress most people have in mind. For anything shorter, say so in your quote request and we will tell you plainly whether the design works above the knee before you pay anything.
Pink dresses with sleeves are easy to find here: the Tiered Maxi has full balloon sleeves to the wrist, the five embroidered dresses have long sleeves as drawn, the blush and fuchsia frocks short sheer sleeves and the dusty rose frock ruffled flutter sleeves. The rose gold gown is on straps but takes sleeves of any length. Going the other way, any dress on this page can be made sleeveless for a summer wedding or a hot climate: choose Sleeveless on the order form, send an armhole measurement (why sleeveless armholes gape explains it) and it is confirmed in your quote. Long sleeve dresses shows the covered shapes in other colours.

Pink is one of the safest colours a wedding guest can choose: festive without competing with white or ivory, and at home in a church, a registry office, a nikah or a marquee. Choose by the time of day and the dress code: the blush or dusty rose frock for a daytime ceremony and lunch, the Tiered Maxi in Rose Pink where you want to be covered, the rose gold gown for a black tie evening. One caution: a very pale blush can read as off-white in flash photographs, so at a Western wedding pick a blush with clear pink in it or step up to rose. Wedding guest dresses has the other colours, and when the invitation names a colour theme helps when the couple have asked for pastels.
Pink bridesmaid dresses are usually a group order, and that is where made to measure earns its keep: the tall bridesmaid and the petite one get the same design, ordered in the same pink, each cut to her own numbers, instead of one of them living with a hem that drags. The Tiered Maxi in Rose Pink is the simplest choice for a group, covered and comfortable all day, and the blush frock suits a softer daytime party. Put everyone’s measurements in one quote request, each set labelled with a name, and the quote lists each dress. Bridesmaid dresses covers the rest, including long sleeves and modest necklines. We make dresses for the bridesmaids and for the mother of the bride, never the wedding dress itself.
Pink is the default at a baby shower when the guess is a girl, and at a bridal shower or a hen party it is simply cheerful. The blush frock and the Tiered Maxi in Rose Pink both work for a guest, and the Tiered Maxi, with nothing tight across the middle, suits the mum-to-be as well; baby shower dresses explains how we cut for a bump. For a birthday dinner the fuchsia frock is the one that gets noticed, and the rose gold gown turns a milestone birthday into an occasion. On Valentine’s Day pink is the gentler alternative to red, and the two can even be worn together; do red and pink go together? shows how.
At a Pakistani wedding, pink belongs to the mehndi above all, where bright colours are expected and a hot pink frock with silver vines sits happily beside yellow, orange and green; mehndi outfit ideas for guests goes through the evening. For the walima, where the mood is softer, the dusty rose frock or the blush frock looks right, and the Tiered Maxi in Rose Pink carries you through an Eid morning of visits with your arms covered. More frocks in every colour are on Pakistani frocks, and more for the day itself on Eid outfits.

Pink takes gold or silver, so match the metal to the shade. Gold suits blush, rose pink, rose gold and tea pink; silver and pearls suit fuchsia, magenta and the cooler baby pinks. Nude or tan shoes lengthen the leg under a midi, and a black shoe and bag sharpen hot pink. For a coat or a scarf, navy, grey, olive, camel and cream all sit comfortably beside pink; what colours go with dusty pink has a longer list for the soft shades and hot pink colour combinations for the loud one. With a hijab, a shade one step deeper than the dress frames the face, and a cream or oatmeal scarf calms a hot pink.
Making takes 5 to 7 working days. The count begins when you have approved your written quote and paid it in full, and the dress then ships, taking as long as the courier needs to reach your country. For a wedding or a shower, work back from the date and leave a margin for the journey. Your quote covers delivery to your door and any import duty and taxes, so nothing more is owed when the parcel comes. When you ask for a quote, name the design, the pink, your size or measurements (marked body or garment), the sleeves, the hem and whether you want a lining.
Pale pinks are among the hardest colours to judge on a phone, where blush drifts towards white or peach with every change of light, and most pictures on this page are design previews made before sewing. Send us a reference instead: photograph a lipstick, a scarf or a paint chip by a window in daylight, attach it to your quote request and say whether the dress should match it or sit a touch deeper. How to describe a colour to a tailor gives you the words. Very pale pink can also wash out under a flash, as which colours photograph well explains, so for an evening event in blush ask for a little more colour. A small difference between a screen and real cloth is normal, not a fault.
The Tiered Maxi is chiffon, light and slightly sheer, and pale pink chiffon shows more than a dark colour would, so a lining is worth asking for; choose it on the order form and we confirm it in your quote. The blush frock is drawn in chiffon and the dusty rose and fuchsia frocks in tulle; for every frock the fabric is agreed with you in the quote, from photos and descriptions, before anything is cut, and a lining can be added to any dress on this page. Is chiffon cool in summer? answers the obvious question about a chiffon maxi in July.
If the day calls for a kurta rather than a dress, the Blossom Border Kurta and Palazzo Set comes in rose mauve, a dusty pink with a purple cast, and the Dusty Rose Blossom suit is a dusty rose kameez and trousers with floral embroidery at the neck, cuffs and hem. For a pink abaya, made to order in any shade from blush to hot pink, see our pink abayas.

FAQ
Yes. The fuchsia frock, with silver sequin vines on a full skirt, is a hot pink as drawn and can be cut at any length from the knee to the floor. For a hot pink or magenta in another shape, choose the long sleeve seamed maxi, which can be made in a colour outside its six, or one of the five embroidered dresses, which can be made on a different base colour. The other frocks are made in the pinks pictured.
Yes. The blush frock is the lightest pink drawn and can be lengthened to the floor. For a clear baby pink, the seamed maxi and the five embroidered dresses can be made on the pink you send us, and the Tiered Maxi comes in rose pink, a shade deeper. Attach a daylight photo of your pink to the quote request.
Almost always, yes. Pink does not compete with white or ivory and suits daytime and evening weddings alike. Check the invitation in case the couple have asked for a particular palette, and avoid a blush so pale that it reads as off-white in photographs. At a Pakistani wedding pink is a classic for the mehndi and the walima.
Yes. Each bridesmaid’s dress is cut to her own measurements or her size from S to XL, in the same design and the same pink, and several dresses can be quoted together: send every bridesmaid’s measurements, each set labelled with her name, in one quote request. We do not make the wedding dress itself.
The shortest length in our frock notes is the knee, and the fuchsia frock has the shortest skirt drawn on this page. For a hem above the knee, ask in your quote request and we will tell you honestly whether the design suits it before you pay anything.
