Does anyone have a Gharara for Sale. Or know of a place where I can go and pick up a Gharara. I am in Chicago, IL. Please Help.

u could ask from the local desi boutiques if their tailor witll make it.. usually tailors can make it .. pick a nice sari that u like and a gharara can be made out of that ..

How soon do you need it? There are some websites you can try, but it usually takes about 6-8 weeks for a full outfit. There are a lot of desi shops in chicago... and as Hin33 mentioned, pick a nice sari, and they'll make it into a gharara for you.

Went to Devon..NO LUCK. I want a good looking Gharara, like some of the pics on this website. Everywhere I go they have really cheap looking stuff. The website require 6-8 weeks and I need one by June 4th. Is anyone selling any Ghararas that were in the pics...

if you come to toronto, you could probably find a really nice gharara here, and if not, then definitely a nice lehenga. do you have any family in toronto? we're about an 8 hour drive from you guys.

SGC,

Thanks for all your info. Appreciate all the help.

I called both the stores and they are out of Ghararas. If you run across anyone else please send me the info.

Thanks,

did you ask abida if she was getting in a new shipment anytime soon? its too bad theres so little time- she would have made you a gorgeous one.
are you sure you won't consider a lehenga instead? a gharara seems really hard to find.

Oriental Costumes got a new supply just last weekend from Karachi. I really like their stuff. They sell out of ghararas really fast so you should call and order it and they can have it made for you.

i gave her their info and she spoke to them, but i guess they're already sold out! :/

I can believe it. They had one on display when I was there a few weeks back and she said that they sell out really fast as Oriental Costume's is one of the few stores that sells ghararas. Sonia's Collection, for example, only sell lenghas.
