Reception

Picking the right reception for your child comes down to three things - age-appropriate sizing, the occasion, and the cut. At P&S Company, every reception is handcrafted to order, which means we can tailor the fit precisely to your child's measurements rather than relying on generic size charts.

Sizing

We make reception in age buckets from 0–2 years through to 17–19 years. For children between two standard sizes, we recommend sizing up and using our complimentary custom-measurement form on the product page — share your child's height, chest, waist and length, and we adjust the pattern at no extra cost.

Occasion

Reception for weddings call for richer fabrics (silk, brocade, banarasi) with structured cuts that hold their shape across long ceremonies. For festivals like Diwali, Janmashtami or Raksha Bandhan, lighter fabrics (chanderi, mulmul, georgette) and movement-friendly silhouettes work better. Family functions sit between the two — refer to each product's "occasion" tag for our specific recommendation.

Fit

Our standard cut is a loose-comfort silhouette — structured enough to photograph well, soft enough for your child to play, eat and sit through long events without complaint. Customisation requests (sleeve length, garment length, dupatta length) can be added free of charge during checkout.

Every reception at P&S Company is handcrafted to order in our Kolkata atelier. We don't hold inventory of finished pieces — cutting begins after you place the order, which is why we ship in approximately two weeks (or five days for the Ready-to-Ship edit).

Fabric

Depending on the design, we work primarily with banarasi silk, chanderi, brocade, georgette, mulmul, organza and tissue silk, sourced from heritage weaving clusters across Varanasi, Chanderi and Bhagalpur. Every fabric is hand-inspected before cutting; we reject roughly 8–12% of incoming bolts for slubs, weave irregularities or colour drift.

Embellishment

Our embroidery techniques include gota lace, pearl work, sequins, mirror work, zardozi and chikankari — all done by hand by karigars who have worked with us for three years or more. Heavy work pieces take an extra 4–6 days; the timeline is shown on the product page.

Skin-Safe

Every reception is finished with a soft inner lining (cotton or mulmul) so the embroidery never touches your child's skin directly. We test our dyes for AZO-free compliance and avoid harsh chemical softeners — particularly important for the 0–6 age range.

Quality Check

Each piece passes through a three-stage quality check before dispatch: post-stitch, post-embellishment, and a final fit-and-finish review. Anything that doesn't meet our bar is re-worked, never down-graded.
