Awwww...ladies! Thanks for the appreciation.

* Add the Mohsin to the list of kaarigars. It is in Saima Center, Tariq Road. The outfits had fab kaam on them and they were priced from Rs. 10,000 and onwards for formals. I loved an outfit that was priced at Rs. 18,000 and he said that if I provide my fabric he'll do the same kaam in co-ordinating colours for Rs. 9,000. Still on the expensive side but I really liked the finishing and sparkle of the outfits. They have ready-to-wear outfits and made-to-order ones, too.

sumorani......i just wanted to ask how much did the lehenga cost you from kehkashan

sumorani · Apr 24th, 2009, 09:51 AM

^a lil over rs.30k that included the fabric, dying, embroidery, and stitching. We got it stitched from our tailor cuz their tailor can't stitch a lehgna for their life.

yeh we did get our own fabric but after they ruined it the first time, they ended up buying the fabric themselves, dying it and then doing the embroidery all over again. when it was all done we took it to our tailor his name is Arif, he is located in Phase 4 in the commercial area on 9th Commercial Street there. I forgot his store number but he's pretty popular, if you end up going there you can ask any shopkeeper there and they will tell u.

I want to get a rough idea of what i'll be spending...friends of mine got really pretty dresses for about 30, 000 from pakistan so i was thinking i could get something very special for about 60, 000. I don't really care if it's designer or not...sounds realistic?

How long do the Kaam walas at Gizri take to do all the embroidery?

Oh and any idea about jewellery? I have a feelimg i'm going to get a very small Walima set from the inlaws

so i might have to make a fake gold lookalikey set...where's the best place for that?

Oh and shoes???

Makkah Cloth house and Mohsin sons have some nice stuff if you are not going for designer labels....and they are in Rabi Centre on Tariq Road I think...my cousin got alot of her jahez clothes made from them and they looked pretty nice....She got a fully worked beautiful saree for 8000 an year back ..the kaam is intricate and the designs are quite nice.....and the prices arent that crazy...You can definitely get a beautiful outfit for 60,000 or maybe less...I am not that crazy about Labels as long as I feel happy with what I am wearing so I got a few from there myself...

Designers at Zamzama is quite nice...but more for formal wear rather than Bridals...or atleast the ones I saw werent all that great...

Check out the shops at Gulf for silver gold plated jewellery...there arent many shops there but the ones I did check out had the nicest collection...for a really bridal set ...they can charge you anywhere from 25-30,000 rps...

I got most of my shoes from Walkeze and the shop beside it...

My husband got his sherwani from Royal Silk Palace in Saddar...and I loved it...they are really particular about the sherwani fitting and it always comes out perfect cuz a few of my cousins also got theirs from the same place... I think they also have ready made sherwanis that they can alter for you...

Kaam walas usually take 2-3 weeks and then you can expect the tailor to take about the same time....I would recommend Gulf and Kehkeshan for kaam, gulf being a lil cheaper option comapred to Kehkeshan....but then 1 week is just not enough to get anything made really...or else you place your orders and get them delivered through someone.....Also there are boutiques at Zamzama other than Designers like Palki,etc ...Spend a whole day to look around Zamzama and then shop the next day...

sumorani · Apr 24th, 2009, 10:18 PM

all u need to say is phase 4, 9th comm street and then ask a shop there like the shops that sell laces, they will let u know. He is a big, dark colored man.

Aleeza24 · Apr 25th, 2009, 06:04 AM
