Another day, another stunning shalwar kameez forKate Middleton— but this time it’s off-the-rack!
“It couldn’t be more perfect!” Onita Prasada, the store owner, tells PEOPLE. “The whole thing just frames her body so beautifully. I love the way she wore the scarf, and the silk gold thread edging just reflects off her face so beautifully.”
“Normally this would take about three months to make because of all the intricate embroidery,” explains Prasada.

“Maheen is minimalistic in her styling, and she is very much in the opinion that a garment must not carry you, you must carry the garment. She is one of the pioneer designers in Pakistan and Kate wears it so naturally,” says the shop owner, who has been sourcing clothing and jewelry from Pakistan and India since her boutique opened in 2009.

“There was a lot of intricate handwork in those pieces and to see them on her, they were truly stunning,” says Prasada.
“I am elated and after 40 years of experience, this has probably been my defining moment,” says Prasada, adding that it has been overwhelming too. “The phones have not stopped ringing, but we are so happy.”
