This is so nice Chanda. If you dont mind me asking: how much are you expecting it to cost to get it made (fabric plus stiching etc)

love the firozi sari chanda. And the Kundan you mentioned, is it the one in karachi or did you get it from India. A married student of mine suggested I go to Kundan ( they have a branch near Metropole Hotel and another at Zamzama) if I need good saris. So guess I'll be paying a visit there soon.
I love chiffon and we have a couple of relatively new shops selling gorgeous embroidered chiffons and georgetts here. They are a bit pricey though but the kaam is really worth it.

Kundan in Lahore...they are pricey...but have beautiful designs...Fantasia boutique has similar stuff...but i am not sure of the exact address...they are both in Lahore though.
and its good to have heavy and light saris.... love banarsi and chiffon!! i got a nice lace one too...will have it embellished with diamonties...beads and dabka/sitara....

thanks dushwari!! i cant shop without mom though...
well...not sure how much altogether...but the fancy fabric (laces etc)runs from $150-$300 and do go up to $500 per yard...depending on the heaviness of the kaam..
saris are anywhere from $200-$800..
zari fabric is around $80-$150 per yard
