handmade embroidery
embroidered party dresses — which are absolutely beautiful! Afghan dresses are famous for their intricate embroidery, bold colors, mirror work, and heavy handmade details. They’re often made with silk, depending on the region (like Kabul, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif, or Kandahar).

Typically, traditional Afghan party dresses feature:
• Colorful embroidery (often in geometric or floral patterns)
• Metallic thread work (gold or silver)
• Beaded or mirrored embellishments
• Flowy skirts with heavy pleats
• Long sleeves and modest cuts, though modern styles sometimes mix traditional with contemporary designs
• A matching scarf (chador)
Each region has its unique style. For example:
• Kuchi dresses are full of vibrant colors and large mirror work.
• Pashtun dresses often have more delicate embroidery and flowing silhouettes.
