Unstitched Salwar Kameez

An unstitched salwar kameez lets you customize your outfit to your size and occasion. Each pack includes fabric for the kameez, salwar or churidar, and dupatta, so you decide the cut, detailing, and fit. Prices start around $25, varying with fabric and embroidery.

Fabrics and Ready-to-Stitch Options

Fabric choice determines comfort and finish. Cotton works best for everyday wear, silk for celebrations, and viscose or rayon for a soft drape. Examples from House of Indya include:

Practical Buying Tips

Choose cotton or viscose for routine wear and richer silk or rayon for occasions. Confirm the fabric width matches your sleeve or flare style. Buying a little extra cloth helps the tailor adjust patterns cleanly.

Tailoring and Fit

Have the set stitched locally or through an online service. Custom measurements let you define neckline, sleeve, and dupatta details. A properly stitched unstitched salwar kameez fits better and lasts longer than most ready-made versions.

Care and Maintenance

Keep fabrics folded in cotton covers to protect embroidery. Wash cotton in cold water and dry clean silk or rayon. Iron from the reverse side to maintain sheen and threadwork. Regular care keeps colors fresh and fabric smooth.
