About Black Musk — Fabric, Handwork & Fit
Black Pakistani Formal & Bridesmaid Lehenga Choli for Receptions, Engagements and Evening Weddings
Black Musk is a black Pakistani formal and bridesmaid lehenga choli by Waqas Shah, inspired by the hush of a forest at night. The fitted, sweetheart-neck choli is hand-embellished with zardozi, beads and crystals, shaped with scalloped cold-shoulder sleeves and opened at the back in sheer net with a beaded tassel tie. It sits above a wide, flared net lehenga scattered with floral sequins and defined by a hand-embellished zardozi belt, while the net dupatta is bordered with handwork on all four sides.
From our Amarige collection and made to order in your size, it is designed for sisters of the bride, bridesmaids and guests who want a striking evening look that never competes with the bride.
How to Style Black Musk
Let silver, diamanté or crystal jewellery mirror the sequins for a sleek reception look, and choose drop earrings over a heavy necklace so the cold-shoulder sleeves stay visible. A low bun or soft waves pinned to one side shows off the sheer net back and tassel tie when you turn.
The potli shown is for styling only and is not included.
Black Musk — Quick Answers
Can I wear a black lehenga to a reception?
Yes. Receptions are evening events under warm lighting, where embellished black looks rich and photographs crisply. It is now one of the most popular reception colours for guests and family. See more Pakistani Reception Dresses.
Is Black Musk a good bridesmaid outfit?
It is one of our most-requested bridesmaid looks. Black never clashes with a bride in red, gold or pastel, and a group of bridesmaids in black creates a sleek, coordinated line-up in photographs.
What are the cold-shoulder sleeves and net back like?
The sleeves leave a little of the shoulder bare and finish in a scalloped, beaded edge. The back of the choli is sheer net with embroidered motifs, closed with a beaded tassel, so the outfit looks as finished from behind as from the front.
Silver or gold jewellery with black?
Silver, diamanté and crystal suit the sequin work best for a modern evening look. Gold works too if you keep it fine and minimal.
How is it different from Lakshmi?
Black Musk is net with floral sequins and a cold-shoulder choli, made for receptions and evening weddings. Lakshmi is raw silk with gold tilla and a V-neck choli, made for qawali nights and evening mehndis.
