^ Like this one, right?

naqsa · Jun 9th, 2009, 12:22 PM

^ Oh I love that saree. That's the base colour for my Nikaah outfit, with teal and candy-pink accents.

his dresses are really really pretty and give a cleaner feel compared to buntos...although stunning her outfits are a bit busy sometimes.

ashift · Jun 17th, 2009, 04:40 AM

I just bought my shaadi dress from Dr. Haroon. I visited Sana Safinaz, Karma, Rehana Saigol before finally deciding. In every aspect, he was far above other designers.

First of all, even though he was backed up with orders, he had given me his word earlier that he would meet with me and kept that promise. He kept in touch over e-mail for months and would respond PROMPTLY...thats a rarity with designers these days. In person and over the phone, he was so polite and sweet, he made me feel like I was his daughter.

The biggest difference between him and the other places I visited was his expertise. He was quick to recommend colors and styles that would suit me, things that wouldn't, as well as tell me what adjustments I could make within my budget. All I did was say what color I didn't want and what colors I was thinking about and he did everything from there. I'm pretty decided on getting my mehndi jora from him as well. Finally, the most important thing is the actual product! I felt like the fabric and kaam totallllly surpassed everything I had seen before this. It's fabric, work and a style that will hold up over several years and always be in fashion. There was also a picture that was put up on gupshup a while ago and everyone thought it was a Bunto...it was a girl with a red and shocking pink jora who wore bright red lipstick. I can't access the photo right now, but when I get the chance, I'll try and post it.

I don't think he goes below 2 lakhs waisey for bridals....you would be compromising on quality. The comment about his formals is correct though, they start at 55000. My budget was much lower but my mother was so pleased with him that I ended up getting my bridal for 2.5 lakhs and my mehndi jora will be 60,000. A year or so ago, you could get a 1 lakh jora from him, but I think he's far better than Bunto and still cheaper than her if he starts at 2 lakhs, cause I've heard she starts at 3.

Sana Safinaz was good, just not quite my style after all...especially after seeing Dr. Haroon's stuff. Also, although I had an appointment, I was given ZERO attention. I dont think any girl foresees picking out her wedding outfit by being thrown into a room and having to dig through stuff. Sana was answering phone calls and completely out of the situation with not so much as an assistant to help me.

In terms of quality, Karma was quite possibly the worst...sample or no sample, their stuff was totally falling apart and didn't even look like real jamawar to me! I did see sumorani's bridal there, that was probably the only thing that looked nice. I was there to look for mehndi joras though, and even when I found an outfit that was ok, the salesperson didn't seem experienced at all and couldn't even tell me what colors would look good with the main color I had suggested. I had originally gone there cause there was an outfit on the website that I loved, but it looked completely different in person. I was really disappointed.

One last thing...he is a practicing doctor

Because he's so busy, he only does bridal orders now. My mother really begged him to do my mehndi outfit and I have been talking to him for a while, so I guess that wasn't the norm.

ashift · Jun 17th, 2009, 07:45 AM

BlushingRose · Jun 17th, 2009, 11:12 AM

fasaadi--I remmeber u being upset abt not gettign a Bunto. Well things worked well with Bunto's cousin and I cant wait to see you as a beautiful bride

H09170 · Jun 17th, 2009, 05:16 PM

whyy dont i like thiss . its so frustrating to not have the aesthetic sense to appreciate it. i have the same problem with bunto and thats one designer EVERYONE likes. sigh

fasaadi · Jun 23rd, 2009, 02:20 AM

you're right, BlushingRose!!! I was over it and totally convinced on getting a Sana Safinaz, but like I said, her customer service was realllly disappointing and after having seen Dr Haroon, I didnt think the kaam was up to par either. I'm really pleased things turned out the way they did.

Hi, Does he have a location in Lahore? or a store that maybe carries his bridalwear? You mentioned that he is very busy, how much notice does he require for bridal wear?

thanks

fasaadi · Sep 11th, 2009, 06:53 PM

thanks for sharing rabia. Yup, that's Dr. Haroon's house in khi where he does bridal consultations.

Fari, he doesn't have a location in Lahore, he just works out of khi where he lives. if you can't make a trip down, you could always ask him any questions through email or the phone, he's always prompt in responding. I know people who have ordered through him from overseas, but it just depends on whether you trust him enough.
