Praising the designer for the honours, the Embassy of Pakistan in the Netherlands said, "Glad to know HRH Queen Maxima of the Netherlands chose Pakistani designer Mahpara Khan to craft her dress for wedding of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan!"

"The creative industry [of Pakistan] is reaching a global audience for its attention to detail, creativity and intricacy of work," the embassy noted in a Twitter post on Tuesday.

"The design features Mughal patterns fused with traditional dapka, naqshi, resham and gota work," she said.
