Hi all , Salamz

I am new here Although i have been on paklinks for quite a while (as a ghost visitor hehe) , but didnt feel the necessity to create an account.
Un till i saw these gorgeous designs of female ''sherwani/jackets''.

My friend introduced me to this forumboard and recommended me to join it

To be very honest I am personally not that very much into buying original Pakistani designer wear ,except bareeze , gulahmed , and all other reasonable priced labels.
I feel you ussually pay the price tag more for its name when you can get a knockoff replica for even less than the half price! Without a doubt Pakistani designers are really talented and.

I am a student and not willing to use my creditcard for every gorgeous outfit i see....plus my mother tells me to invest in jewellery rather in kaprey waghera only ...

I aave also seen some homebased designers here creating fabulous work like Pakifairy , Cyme and prototype....and i thought this place would be the best option to place my question.

Now i have this only one dilema which is sherwani's are made and stritched differently then a normal plain lengha / shalwar kameez and kurtis.
I guess the measurements are different and the whole finishing and extra details require sherwani skilled darzi's or am i wrong?

okay so i really don't know how much umar sayeed will quote these jackets what are ussually his price range? does anyone know ?

i have really fallen in love with them! i am willing to pay a few extra bucks for the original even if it will cause a dent in my wallet i am a little worried that a copy for this will be not as nice looking ...

Seriously i am drooling over these pictures....they will look fabulous with hijab , with western wear and for a party..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girls what should i do ? how can i contact Umar bhai....and to buy or not to buy that is the question?!

i already have this jacket. I purchased it from lahore for $100.00 on my last visit to pakistan.

Hi shay , and Gina thanks for your replies.

OTT ? you mean over the top ? do you mean that the designs are a lil bit gaudy

Oyeee i have to check at the currency converter how much 11500 dirhams would be....?

Gina are dubai dirhams same as saudi riyals? i am guessing it would be around 230 euros...gosh that is expensive !



By the way i got crazy quotes for deepak perwanis carnaval collection (outfits from his london show) not worth the price though!

Queen_Punk

OMG sahar where where where where did you buy it ? from umar sayeed or a knockoff?

sahar2008

i purchased mine from the market.. Its a knockoff.

Queen_Punk

wow sahar really ? do you mean the liberty kaam wala market?

I am atually from quetta and not from lahore...

how is the fitting , lining and shoulders shoulders stitched?

I like the first jacket most...could you post a picture of your jacket if that is possible ? I understand if you can't

Gina~

11,500 Dhs. is $ 2,875

aminas

^

I wont even pay $100 for em

ziggy

Gina - That's defintely a huge markup don't you think?

I'm sure it wouldn't cost as much to order it from his studio directly, would it?

Queen_Punk

Thanks gina

athough i must say that the prices are in my opinion a little too high but what else would i have expected from umar sayeeds collection.... i have to think about wether i should buy it or not....

heanw

Same here

They are gaudy looking and I cannot imagine myself stepping out of the house in those. I prefer my regular tops over those. And with that kind of amount for them, I can hit the mall and enjoy an amazing shopping spree

those jackets are hideous. I wouldn't wear them even if he gave them out for free. The shoulder cuts are so unflattering for women, something from way back in the 80's that should be kept in the past. You only find those shoulders on men's sports jackets or winter coats. I would most definitely buy an American or European designers jacket over this stuff. Have no idea what he was thinking.

Panthr3ss

these kinda things only look nice in pics ..those jackets would luk weird in person..n yea they r soo 80's but then 80's r comin back in vogue..personally i wont buy them..look so masculine

hey guys im new here... well been a ghost visitor for ages but just signed up actually, neways moved to US a lil more than a year ago and living in a mid sized city right now...well the point of telling all this is that i dont see these jackets fit in here, i mean back home they "might be" fine coz we desi's are used to bright colors , fancy embroideries and bold prints much more than these goras, we have a very flamboyant sense of fashion in comparison to the angrezi rookha peekha style, i mean they are trying but .... a long way to go!

in short moral of the story: no place in my wardrobe

P.S: Love the vespa though! :P
