Hi all.
I was looking at the outfits and decided to order this dress from Cyma345, and this is my review of the experience.
1. Service-- excellent.
She's very nice and easy to talk to. We started talkign in emails/Pms, but its much easier to speak to her on the phone. Initially I had inquired about a few different outfits. She answered all my questions about all the outfits, what fabric she'd use, how the kaam would be etc. She even advised me that if I had any doubts about her work, she can make me a simple jora, to test her out. However, I was short on time so I decided to take the risk and ordered just the red outfit.
I know nothing is more annoying and worrisome than giving your money to someone only to have them not take your calls or reply to you, but Saima was not like that, she was very easy to find and talk to.
2. Fitting--
This was my main concern, as in the past I would give an entire outfit as a size template only to have hte outfit not fit properly at all, so I was apprehensive when giving the sizes. Esp when she asked for all kinds like neck circumference, calf width etc..lol.. wheN i wasn't sure, she patiently explained to me. Since I was unsure about some measurements, she took it upon herself ot make the correct adjustments, as I trusted her judgment as a designer.
3. Timing and delivery--
I ordered the outfit in the middle of october, and i told her I wanted it by November, so arond 3 weeks time. However, due to a few delays on my end, the outfit was completed and mailed in the beginning of December. Had hte delays not come up, I have full faith that the suit would have been ready by that time. Oh, another plug, the outfit was delivered via TCS from karachi to Lahore. Dispatched Wednesday night, reached Thursday afternoon, so less than 24 hours.
All in all I would definitely recommend Cyma/Saima.
She is a very nice lady, easy to work with, and most importantly, her work speaks for itself.

and more importantly it was brought by a guppy who has been on here for a while, so i would trust her judgement. Unlike other people who come and make up Multi nicks and big up their own made up website....

yes it does look different from the picture she originally sent me but I think its' from her camera quality. the color you see in my pictures is the true color, cherry red..

Hi Sara, thanks for the review!! The kaam in the original suit looks shiny and silvery, but in the delivered suit is looks more like a dull goldish hue, did you request the change in color or is it just the pics?

It might jsut be the pictures quality, in real it is light golden and greyish silver kaam, and it is sparkly. I like that its not completely silver, so I can mix golden accessories iwht it.........
