Gown Tales: Handcrafted Elegance from Thread to Tradition

What is a Gown?

A gown is a long, flowing dress typically worn on formal occasions. Originating from ancient royal courts, the gown has evolved into a fashion staple for weddings, evening parties, festive occasions, and cultural events. In modern South Asian fashion, gowns blend ethnic artistry with Western silhouettes, creating pieces that are both glamorous and culturally rich.

How is a Gown Made?

At Albasir, crafting a gown is an art. Each piece goes through a meticulous process:

1.Designing: Our designers sketch and plan each gown with attention to body shape, drape, and embroidery layout.

2.Fabric Selection: High-quality fabrics like velvet, net, georgette, and silk are chosen depending on the design.

3.Embroidery: Our skilled artisans use traditional embroidery techniques, especially Aari work, to handcraft beautiful patterns.

4.Stitching & Fitting: Tailored for elegance, gowns are stitched to offer the perfect silhouette.

5.Finishing Touches: Final touches include steaming, embellishment detailing, and quality checks.

Styling Tips for Gowns

For Velvet Aari Gowns: Pair with chandelier earrings, a bold clutch, and high heels. Keep makeup rich and royal – think deep reds or berry tones.

For Kimono Aari Gowns: Go minimal. Statement studs, soft makeup, and sleek hair will bring out the elegance.

Layer Smartly: Use a sheer dupatta or cape for added drama.

Footwear: Choose strappy heels or embellished juttis depending on the occasion.

Care Instructions for Your Gown

Dry Clean Only: Especially for velvet and embroidered gowns.

Store with Care: Use a breathable garment bag and hang the gown to avoid creasing.

Air Occasionally: Let the gown breathe, especially after wear.
