Where our seasonal edits dress a child for birthdays and family gatherings, these pieces are for the events a family plans around; weddings, Nikkah and Walima celebrations, Eid, and the formal occasions that are photographed and remembered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach dress is beaded entirely by hand in our atelier. Sizes 2 to 11.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBeaded by Hand, One Dress at a Time\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe difference between an occasion dress and a formal one is almost always the handwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEvery pearl, flower and bead in this collection is placed by hand. Not applied as a pre-made panel, not machine-stitched, not outsourced. On a collar beaded with pearls and small flowers, each element is positioned individually, which is why the scatter can graduate from dense at the shoulder to sparse at the hem, fading into the cloth rather than stopping at a line. Machine work cannot do that, and no two dresses come out identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the slowest work we do, and it is what the price reflects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCloth with Depth\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThese dresses are cut in satin jacquard cloth with a floral woven into it rather than printed onto it, which is what gives the color its depth as it catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe palette is deliberately restrained: ivory and blush pink, the two colours that hold beadwork best and that suit the widest range of formal settings, from a daytime nikkah to an evening reception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFlower Girl, Eid and Wedding Guest\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIvory and blush are the traditional colors for a flower girl, and these A-line silhouettes are cut to be comfortable through a long ceremony, unfitted through the body, easy to move in, with no structure that digs in after an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe same dresses serve as wedding guest dresses, Eid outfits, christening dresses and portrait dresses. For a more covered look, a dress with a cape covers the shoulders and upper arms; the sleeveless pieces pair easily with a fine cardigan, bolero or shawl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn Two Markets\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn Pakistan these are wedding season dresses, worn from November through February and again through Eid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn the UAE formal occasions run all year, and these pieces suit air-conditioned venues, evening events and daytime celebrations equally. Both palettes work across seasons; neither is a winter or summer colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Small Collection, Deliberately\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis collection is intentionally brief. Hand beading does not scale, and we would rather release three dresses we are certain of than twelve we are not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNew pieces are added as they are finished. When a design sells out it is retired, and there are no restocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSizes 2 to 11 years. Made in Pakistan. Delivered across Pakistan and the UAE. Care: dry clean only; the hand beading should never be machine washed.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ivory-pearl-collar-occasion-dress-girls","title":"Perla | Girls' Ivory Occasion Dress, Pearl Collar and Bow Back","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Todlem Perla is a sleeveless ivory occasion dress for girls, cut in China Patti, a satin jacquard with a floral woven into the cloth rather than printed on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe oversized rounded collar is beaded by hand with pearls and small flowers, and a long panel falls from the centre of the collar, beaded to match at its ends.

A sleeveless satin jacquard A-line is worn under a sheer organza cape, with pearl flowers beaded by hand across the shoulders. Fiore means flower in Italian, for the ones scattered across the cape, and the cherry blossom woven into the cloth beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cape falls softly over the shoulders and is finished at every edge with a scalloped hem and fine picot trim. Across the neckline and shoulders, small flowers in shell-pink petals with pearl centers are placed by hand, densest at the neck and thinning as they fall, so the beading fades into the cloth rather than stopping at a line. The same scatter continues across the back shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBeneath the cape, the dress is cut in blush satin jacquard. The cherry-blossom floral is woven into the cloth rather than printed on it, which is what gives the pink its depth as it catches the light. The A-line is easy and unfitted, so the satin falls naturally and the cape moves as she walks. It fastens with a concealed zip at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSoft and formal at once, it serves as a flower girl dress, a christening dress and a party dress, made for weddings, nikkah and walima celebrations, Eid, birthdays and family portraits.
