Actually now thats what you get for Rs. 6,000... your cousin didn't loot you.. she could have done some bargaining but there is no way taht you will find something like this for less than Rs. 5000. I was in Pakistan last year for my wedding shopping.. I got ripped off by darzis in peshawar... I ordered an outfit there for 10,000.. and he was supposed to mail it to me in Pindi.. total rip off.. he didnt use the fabric that I selected, he didn;t do the karhai that I wanted, he even used the "aarha" kapra for qameez that is not straight qameez.. you should have seen my face when I opened the parcel, I never got that stitched and we will take it back to them whenever someone from my family goes to Peshawar!
Same thing for Mohsins and sons in Rawalpindi.. I ordered 3 outfits for Rs. 9000 each with karhai on gala,bazoo, and duppata border and paid 400 for stitching.. they did an awful job.. I was shocked and disappointed! I never say anything in the bazar but that day I almost cried and told my mom, "you brought me to mohsins and sons because you have been using them for past 30 years, look what did they do" even the dukan wala upset by seeing what his "karegars" did.. in the nutshell, I didnt have a good experience with orders.. I loved the ready made outfits that I got from Zardozi, Lahore and couple of shawal qameez from Maria B...
After shadi I moved to Karachi and I helped my husband's cousin shadi shopping.. she got the best karhai from Gulf and paposh for a very reasonable price and rabi center on Tariq road had some really good variety for unstitched karhai wale kapray.. I liked those better and not to mention, Karachi is cheaper than Islamabad and Peshawar!!!
I dun like any of these outfits but still I would say for Rs. 6000.. this is not bad!
