Re: Advice and Suggestions
thanks girls!
when i spoke with Nilofer, she mentioned that her daughter actually wore this dress on her wedding. kind of made me feel good :). she said she'd be sending along a few pictures of other brides in the US who wore similar dresses so i can modify the shirt.
my whole issue is that our trip to Pakistan got canceled last week because of a family emergency. now, i'm in grad school, and won't be able to go in time to place a bridal and valima jhora. i guess going to Pakistan wasn't meant for me, so i have to do with phone conversations and email. i'm waiting on the swatches...and in my head the only materials i knew were chiffon and jhamevar. maybe jhamevar will look nice? i want something flowy, delicate, but something that can hold up the embroidery. i also want something that won't wrinkle and will make me look skinny :-D.
she might be helping me with the valima too. at the moment, she's thinking long sleeves, french chantilly lace with diamontes. in my head it sounds pretty, but i'll keep you all posted.
what an ordeal!
