Before You Buy Another Suit Set, Check These 5 Details

Introduction

There are five primary reasons why people are not satisfied with their suit sets: fabric which differs from the photo, colour change under sunlight, improper length, awkward-looking embroidery and lack of some items in the packaging. All these can be easily checked in advance to prevent any troubles in the future. Considering that Diwali falls on 8 November, most people are going to expand their wardrobes now, so it would be helpful to know how to do it right. At Gulbhahar, we have created a list of the points which should be considered at first, showing examples of suitable products.

1. What Materials Does the Suit Contain? Is it Lined?

This point is crucial since fabric determines the comfort. Read about the material of the suit at the product page and think about your wearing habits and needs. There are two main types of material which have pros and cons: light and comfortable cotton suits, which keep cool and comfortable all day long, and more luxurious but thick material suits, which may become too hot. The Black Embroidered Cotton Suit can serve as an example of this point.

2. How Does the Colour Look in Different Light?

However, a color may change depending on the device, lighting during the day, and evening lighting, so pay attention to more than one image. Zoom in on the images of the product, read carefully if there is a warning about the colour variation and consider where you plan to wear the suit. This point is illustrated by the Navy Blue Pakistani Suit, as the navy colour may be close to black in low light and clear blue in bright sun; both options are attractive, but you should understand which option you purchase. If possible, compare the item with a navy item in your possession.

3. Does the Length and Cut Suit You?

The length defines the overall appearance, so check the kurta length in relation to your height. Long Pakistani cut creates a slim and elegant silhouette, but it requires proper footwear and a hem that is not dragging. The Women’s Black Pakistani Suit is a great example of this tip as Pakistani suits are famous for their long kurtas. Measure the length of your favourite kurta from your wardrobe and compare it to the given length of the suit. Sleeves and necklines should also be considered.

4. Is the Embroidery Well Placed and Easy to Wear?

Embroidery must complement the suit; it must not clash with it. View the item at a close range in a zoomed photo. Check the placement, how nice and even the stitches are made, and see whether there is balance in the embroidery all through the neckline, the sleeves and the hem. An example that should be looked into closely is the Women Ethnic Deep Red Suit. This particular piece is quite festive with the red color, hence, the embroidery should enhance but not overcrowd the overall look. Overembroidered collars on delicate fabrics will appear too stiff for long wear. Hence it is important to go through the product description.

5. What Comes With It, and How About the Size Chart?

Look carefully to see what you will be getting when you buy the suit, because some come with a kurta, bottom and dupatta, while others vary. The Yellow Floral Embroidered Suit gives an example of a listing that should be viewed closely, right from the dupatta through to the bottom. Then compare the measurements with the size chart provided instead of selecting your standard size.

What Else Is Worth Checking Before You Order?

Check care instructions, time of delivery and policy for returns. Some suits are supposed to be washed or dry-cleaned gently; make sure that you know how to do it before buying. Time is very important during festive week, because you will need several days to wait until your order arrives; late delivery means that you will not be able to wear it at the event. Carefully check the return and exchange policy and do not remove the tags before trying the suit on yourself.

How Do You Use This Checklist Fast?

Go through the list of five things in this particular order: fabric, colour, length, embroidery and accessories. It will take you just a few minutes to check each suit, and you can use this checklist on any outfit, not only these five. If you doubt something, try to find additional photos and reviews. A suit that passes all five tests will definitely suit you.

Final Thoughts

Suiting should be more than just good in photographs. Suiting should be made of material you can wear, have a colour you like in any lighting, be a good length for you, have embroidery that suits and come as a whole set in the correct size. Look out for these five points, and your next purchase of suiting will be one made with confidence and not hope.
