For our regular unstitched salwar suits, you already have significant styling freedom because the fabric is supplied unstitched. You can choose your own silhouette, neckline, sleeves, length, fit, lining, and other tailoring details with your preferred tailor. This allows you to create the garment around your body measurements and personal style rather than adapting yourself to a fixed ready-made size.

For specific customization requirements, contact Ikhtirah before placing your order so we can confirm what is possible.

Before stitching an Ikhtirah unstitched salwar suit, discuss your body measurements, preferred silhouette, garment length, neckline, sleeves, lining, seam allowance, and pockets with your tailor. Since the fabric is unstitched, you have the freedom to create a straight-cut, A-line, kaftan-inspired, short kurti, or other silhouette depending on the fabric and available length.

For delicate or premium fabrics, also discuss how the fabric should be cut, whether lining is required, and how much allowance should be retained for future alterations. This helps you get the most from the fabric while creating a garment that fits your body and personal style.

We recommend dry cleaning Ikhtirah fabrics to help preserve their color, texture, embroidery, and overall finish, particularly for delicate, embellished, silk, or sheer fabrics. Light cleaning may be suitable for certain fabrics, but the appropriate care can vary depending on the textile and craftsmanship.

For better longevity, avoid harsh washing, excessive rubbing, and high heat. Once stitched, your tailor can also advise whether the garment requires additional care based on the fabric and lining used.

Adding a suitable lining can improve the structure, comfort, appearance, and longevity of an unstitched salwar suit. Lining is especially useful for lightweight, sheer, delicate, or richly embroidered fabrics. It can also enhance the way a fabric falls and make the color appear richer and more vibrant.

The right lining depends on the main fabric and the intended use of the garment:

• Cotton lining: Best for breathable comfort and everyday wear, especially with cotton and lightweight fabrics.
• Shantoon lining: A popular choice for silk, Chanderi, and festive wear because it provides a smooth finish without adding excessive bulk.
• Butter crepe lining: Suitable when a softer drape and fluid fall are preferred.
• Satin lining: Creates a richer, smoother finish and is often used for occasion wear, although it may feel warmer.

For sheer fabrics such as Kota Doria or organza, lining may also provide better coverage while preserving the overall silhouette.

When getting an Ikhtirah unstitched salwar suit stitched, discuss the fabric, design, climate, and desired silhouette with your tailor before choosing a lining.

The best fabric depends on the weather, comfort level, and occasion. Cotton is one of the most versatile choices for India because it is breathable and comfortable across most seasons. Linen and lightweight cotton fabrics work especially well in hot and humid weather.

For festive dressing, Chanderi and Maheshwari silk offer a balance of comfort and elegance, while richer silks and layered fabrics are better suited to weddings and cooler weather. During the monsoon, lighter fabrics that dry easily and require less maintenance can be more practical.

When choosing an unstitched salwar suit from Ikhtirah, consider both your local climate and how you plan to wear the outfit.
