Indian & Pakistani Clothes for Women

Salwar kameez and Pakistani suits in lawn, cotton and khaddar

For a full outfit, the Pakistani suits section has 2-piece and 3-piece suits, maxi dresses and salwar kameez in lawn, cotton, linen, khaddar and chiffon. Lawn is the light printed cotton worn all summer; khaddar is the thicker weave for cooler months. Most suits are stitched and ready to wear, so there is no trip to a tailor before you put one on.

Shop by fabric with lawn suits, khaddar suits and cotton suits and kurtis, or by cut with 2-piece suits and 3-piece suits. If you say salwar suit or Punjabi suit, you will find the same styles under salwar kameez.

Palazzo sets, shalwars and dupattas

A palazzo set is one of the most comfortable outfits for a long day: a kurti over wide palazzo pants, often with a dupatta. Browse palazzo sets and suits, or buy the bottoms on their own in shalwar and trousers, with cotton shalwars, tulip shalwars, palazzo pants and gharara pants.

A dupatta finishes the look. The dupattas section has light organza dupattas for parties and printed chunri and ajrak shawls for every day, and the guide on how to wear a dupatta shows a few easy ways to drape one.

Party wear for weddings, Diwali and Eid

When you need something dressier, the party wear section has chiffon, katan silk and cotton party dresses, many with embroidery and an organza dupatta. For a shaadi, start with wedding guest outfits; for a mehndi or a haldi, the greens and yellows people wear are gathered in mehndi and haldi outfits. Festive picks have their own pages too: Diwali outfits and Eid outfits.

Wondering what suits the dress code? The guide to what to wear to an Indian or Pakistani wedding has ideas for guests, from the mehndi to the reception.

Shopping from Jersey City, New Jersey

Shagufta runs the shop from Jersey City in Hudson County, across the Hudson from Manhattan, the city known for India Square on Newark Avenue. It is an online shop: you browse here, order on WhatsApp, and she posts the piece to you. If you were looking for Indian clothes in New Jersey, the page on Indian and Pakistani clothes in Jersey City tells you more.

Sizes and measurements

Indian and Pakistani sizes do not always match US sizes, so every listing gives the size and the piece's own chest, hips and length in inches. Lay a top you already own flat, measure it across, and compare the numbers. Sizes run from XS to 2XL, plus girls' sizes 10 and 12.

The size guide walks through it step by step, and there are pages for plus size and small sizes if you want to see only what fits.

How ordering on WhatsApp works

There is no checkout and no account to make. Tap Order on WhatsApp under any piece and WhatsApp opens with the piece, the price and the link already typed, or add several pieces to the bag and send the whole list in one message. Shagufta replies to confirm the piece, the shipping cost and how you would like to pay, and she can send a video or extra photos first. The full steps are on how to order.
