Every November, the same debate starts in Pakistani homes. Should this season's outfits go to the family tailor, or should they be bought ready to wear? If you love choosing your own neckline, sleeves and length, fabric still wins. The Alkaram 11.11 sale has been running since 6 November, and the 11.11 sale women unstitched range now holds more than 270 designs at Flat 20% to 40% off. This guide goes fabric by fabric, with real prices and meters, so every rupee goes into a suit you will actually wear.
11.11 Sale Women Unstitched: What Is on Offer
Here is the range as it stood on 6 November, when this guide was written. All prices are the sale prices shown on alkaramstudio.com that day.
- Lawn leads with more than 150 designs, followed by cambric, organza, khaddar, cotton filament, dobby and jacquard.
- Most designs are 3 piece suits with a shirt, trouser and dupatta. There are also 2 piece sets, single shirts, a couple of suits with a shawl and 12 formal 4 piece suits.
- Discounts run from 20% to 40%. The most common discount is 20%, while many lawn suits are 30% or 35% off.
- Prices start at PKR 833 for a printed lawn shirt and go up to PKR 21,592 for an embroidered organza 4 piece.
About 115 designs are embroidered and the rest are printed. Every design is listed in the 11.11 unstitched sale, where you can filter by category, fabric, price and discount to see only what fits your plan.
Lawn: The Biggest Choice and the Easiest Win
Lawn makes up more than half of the unstitched range on offer, and it is where your money stretches furthest. A printed lawn 3 piece costs between PKR 2,789 and PKR 4,312, with a typical price of around PKR 3,350. Embroidered lawn 3 piece suits run from PKR 3,114 to PKR 8,393, and a typical one costs around PKR 5,200.
Buying lawn in November makes more sense than it sounds. Karachi stays mild for most of the winter, and wedding halls and dawats are often warm and crowded. Lawn you stitch now is also ready for spring, with no extra shopping trip when the heat returns.
Smaller budgets have good options too. Printed lawn shirts start at PKR 833, enough for a simple kurta for home or college. Lawn shirt and dupatta sets start at PKR 1,813, and they pair well with a plain trouser you already own. If you are shopping with a fixed amount in mind, set the price filter on the 11.11 sale page and start with the band that fits.
Cambric, Dobby and Cotton Filament for Daily Wear
Cambric is a crisp, light cotton that holds its shape well, which makes it a favorite for office and university wear. There are about 17 cambric designs, priced between PKR 1,192 and PKR 3,992.
Dobby has a small woven texture that adds interest to a plain color, and its designs range from about PKR 3,100 to PKR 7,200. Cotton filament designs sit between PKR 5,768 and PKR 6,593 at 25% off, with a smooth finish that looks polished for work and family dinners.
Khaddar, Karandi and Velvet for Cold Cities
If you live in Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar or Quetta, look at the heavier fabrics first. Khaddar has about 14 designs, from a printed 2 piece at PKR 1,944 to an embroidered 3 piece at PKR 9,743, and most are 25% or 35% off. Its thick weave holds warmth, and it softens with every wash.
Karandi is a smaller pick, with a few designs between PKR 3,843 and PKR 5,519. Its fine, textured surface suits office days and evening dawats. Jacquard, with its pattern woven right into the fabric, makes a simple cut look dressy, and its designs run from about PKR 2,700 to PKR 10,400. For the coldest wedding nights, there are velvet designs at PKR 11,192.
Organza and Net for Wedding Nights
The formal end of the range is small but special. There are 15 organza designs, priced from PKR 7,493 to PKR 21,592 and mostly 20% off, plus a handful of zari net, chiffon, raw silk and velvet suits.
The standouts are 12 formal 4 piece suits, most of them in organza, with a few in zari net and other fabrics. Each comes with a 5 meter shirt and a lining, and most add a raw silk trouser. Several of the organza ones are made for a flared kalidar look, with an embroidered bodice, embroidered sleeves, 16 embroidered kalis, a 5 meter cotton silk slip to wear underneath and a 2.5 meter embroidered organza dupatta. That is a complete formal outfit in one parcel.
Net lovers will find zari net designs from PKR 10,392 to PKR 16,792, and there are a few chiffon and raw silk suits close to PKR 16,800. These fabrics are delicate, and several are marked dry clean only, so read the care line in the product description before you buy. Planning outfits for several functions? Buy these formal pieces first, because there are far fewer of them than everyday designs.
Count the Meters Before You Plan the Cut
An unstitched suit is only as good as its fabric length. In most 3 piece designs on offer, the shirt is 3 meters, the dupatta is 2.5 to 3 meters and the trouser is 2.5 meters. That is enough for a long shirt with full sleeves and a regular shalwar or trouser.
A few designs come with 1.6 meters of trouser fabric. That works for a straight trouser or cigarette pants, but a full gathered shalwar usually needs more. Check the piece by piece meters in the product description, then tell your tailor exactly what you want.
Sheer shirts also need a lining. The formal 4 piece suits already include a lining, but if you choose another sheer fabric without one, buy lining fabric too.
Get It to Your Tailor This Month
December is the busiest month for weddings, and many tailors stop taking orders well before it. Buy your fabric now, hand it over within the week and ask for one trial fitting.
Two policies matter here. The FAQ page on alkaramstudio.com is clear that sale pieces cannot be returned or exchanged, and that the brand does not offer alteration services. So zoom into the product photos, read the color and fabric details carefully and leave the fit to your tailor. Delivery usually takes 3 to 5 working days across most of Pakistan, so an early order also protects your tailor's slot.
No time for stitching at all? The 11.11 ready to wear sale has more than 470 stitched pieces, some of them 45% or 50% off. And if the men of the family still need outfits, kurtas, kameez shalwar and waistcoats are part of the same sale.
Choose the Fabric, Then the Function
A good unstitched haul starts with the right fabric for the right day. Lawn gives you the most value and carries into spring. Cambric and dobby keep daily wear smart. Khaddar, karandi and velvet see you through the cold. Organza and net are for the nights that matter most. Pick the fabric, plan the cut and give your tailor enough time.
Choose your fabric today and reach your tailor before the December rush.
