Fancy work and embellishment in the UAE
In the UAE, the same outfit might be worn to an Eid lunch at home and to a dinner in a hotel ballroom the following week. Fancy work lets you decide how dressed up it is: embroidery, lace or borders added to the outfit we are stitching for you, at the level you choose.
- Made in Pakistan, shipped to the UAE
- 5 to 7 working days to make, plus shipping

Fancy work for the UAE
Embroidery, lace and borders added to the outfit we stitch for you, from delicate to statement (never bridal).
Sizes, delivery and sending fabric from the UAE: ordering from the UAE.
Choosing a level for the occasion
Delicate work at the neckline or sleeves keeps an office kurta or a weekday suit understated. Detailed work across the neckline, sleeves and hem suits Eid visits and dawats. Statement work is bolder, for Eid evenings and parties you are attending as a guest. We do not make outfits for the bride herself, and none of our levels is meant as wedding wear for her.
Heat, abayas and where the work sits
Dense embroidery across a whole kameez adds weight and warmth, which matters in July. For summer, many customers keep the work to the neckline and cuffs on lawn, or choose a lace edge at the sleeve, and save statement work for linen or velvet in the cooler months.
If you wear an abaya over your outfit, think about which parts will show. Sleeve cuffs and a border at the hem often stay visible, while work on the back or shoulders may be covered. Our Eid occasion page has more ideas.

FAQ
Fancy work questions
Can you embroider an abaya or a dress I already own?
No. Fancy work is only added to an outfit we are stitching for you, whether we supply the fabric or you send your own. We do not embellish finished garments.
Can the embroidery be the same colour as the fabric?
Yes, tone on tone is a lovely, quieter option. Tell us in your notes, and the thread colour is confirmed in your quote.
