you should!!! and supposedly their designers are cheaper...at least, my friend's wife got her outfit from sabyasachi and it was 1 lakh. I know thats not CHEAP, but if you think about him being one of the best designers in India and the cost versus our best designers and the cost, its relatively less expensive. Nilofer Shahid, Bunto, HSY, they all charges thousandssss of dollars for their outfits.

This is SO true. A couple of my cousins went for Neeta Lulla's bridal and another girl opted for Ritu Kumar's lehnga for her baraat. Those were BEAUTIFUL beyond explanation and traditional and the best part was that the dresses were completely different than what was everyone was wearing in Karachi those days.
They cannot stop praising these designers for their charges, which is considerably low than any big names of Pakistani fashion industry, their friendly attitude and excellent customer service.

Did they buy the outfits from anywhere in Karachi or online from India?

indian designs and bridals are SO different than the pakistani designers, and what most pakistani brides would want to wear but they are beautiful nevertheless (except for some OTT designs and blend of 10 colors in one outfit). the indian sarees and anarkalis however are absolutely unmatchable.
Choose your battles wisely.
Not everyone is worth wasting time over.

i totally agree - the word on the street is that anarkali's are about to go out of style. wonder how long it'll take to completely be considered "outdated!"

^ I heard the same thing last year and didn't bother making one but I keep seeing them. It's transformed into more of a A-line shirt now...lots of chooridaar sleeves too. Might actually get one now.

isnt the exchange rate for rupees more in pakistan than in india? thats why everything seems cheap in india, but really its all the same. two years ago the exchange rate was 40 rs./1 dollar in india and about 80 rs./1 dollar. when i went shopping in india, everything was damn expensive. a designer outfit i wanted cost 1 lakh was coming out to $2500 dollars.

¨^again the India debate....what's wrong with praising something beautiful? Indians and Pakistanis are desis, they share alot of things i.e. clothes being one of them. Should we really be so narrowminded that we look at who is Indian or who is Pakistani? If something is worth praise, it should be praised - regardless of its country of origin.

^ am sorry to say this mehrunisa, but i have seen pakis do the same...there are many pakistanis who dont buy pakistani goods..
though I do think thats what makes us different from Indians at the same time..we dont discriminate...to that extent...we go to indian grocery stores, watch their movies et cetera et cetera..
*India has supported numerous Pakistani starving artists and musicians, the ones who were forgotten, unappreciated, and underpaid in their own country.
Spreading hate, and discrimination is not Pakistani style.
Our primary independence was from the British, then India. Yet we buy British goods, watch their films, speak their language, and follow their fashion.
