Hey !
I reallyy wanted to buy a Lengha that I saw that was covered with what the sales lady said was "gotta patti" handwork...she said thats why its so expensive--I was just wondering if that's true or if shes just trying to rip me off??

no theyre super cheap!
i wont lie i dont know exactly.. and there sooo many types too.

However when you say hand work that could mean any thing.. using cheap gota in expensive technique, using exp gotta with exp,. tenchnique..

could mean alot of things could help u with a pic though..

Really?? I have no idea but the bottom of the lengha is covered 360 degrees top top to bottom with it--like the work on this pic:

all depends on the quality of work ,,,if u see crystals ,stones and square sequins on it thn it cn b super expensive ,,,if just cut pipes,gotti wires and round sequins thn cheap...simple gotti is not very expensive,no matter how much it is used on a dress..thnku

usualy goota patti is hand work so if u go to an expensive place they will sell it to u for a lot of money. but if u got to a low end market your will find it cheaper because most of the shops their get those done by the woman directly, but the high end boutique makes u pay for their shop's name, and place.
if u are in karachi go to hydri, or meena bazar, or places like this.

i wud suggest u better go to some good cheap market..they always have something really gr8 and nice to sell...its not necessary that expensive markets have all the good stuff with them...there r sooo many people who sell cheap stuff with little bit of kaam and saying its handwork..i wud like to advise u dat get ur own lehngha done from the local kaam wala in pak...that way u can negotiate the price and would really get what u want...bcz these people know their job well...if u r in lhr i can recommend u some good shops..! good luck and yeah gotta is never expensive..however wide it is....!

It depends, but you can usually find cheaper varieties of the same work.
