Can we see photos? Is the material coming apart close to the stitching? Because from what you say about the arms it does sound like it. Although if a good quality silk is used, it really shouldn't happen.

As for beads and things coming off here and there, on heavily worked outfits that's nearly always the case. Threads can easily be broken on the back side causing the beads etc to come off. This is why I now spend the extra on my formals and get them from my designer guy; I can keep wearing them without them looking tatty. Lining on formals is really important too, to protect the kaam from the back side.

The Karma pink copy is not a light outfit, I think for really good quality (in terms of all 3 fabric, kaam and stitching), I think you would need to expect to pay even more these days.

The kameez sounds like it's more or less still okay and if noname sends you a new shalwar, it sounds like it will be wearable again.
