Re: any experience with cookie mak ?
Actually I live in a comparitively smaller city, Bahawalpur near Multan, and I used to live abroad so I had similar concerns. But after consulting some local people (who are at the same level of your standard in dressing taste, shopping, financially etc.) I got an idea of the market and visiting those shops I was pretty satisified. You’ve got great budget
I ordered my bridal yesterday for 34,000 rupees
but then I didn’t go for an exact designer replica. And I chose to stick to a lower budget (even though my mother kept insisting I get something heavier). But I’ve seen designer replicas here in like 60, 70, 80 thousand range, with a pretty good quality work. Islamabad is higher in prices obviously but still I’m sure you can get something. So visit your market and you’ll find an option inshaAllah
I also know a friend who is based in Islamabad and runs an online business (i know her personally) but I’ve never ordered dresses from her so cant guarantee the work and fabric quality. If you want i can refer you to her and you can contact her and visit her if you like?
