Transliterate it.
Since this concept does not exist in English, there appears to be no word in this respect.
There are two options:
1. You may transliterate the word and after this word you may explain in bracket that it means the personal outfit of a bride.
2. You may transliterate the word and put a star mark on it and then explain it in a footnote.
