Availability of applique work in Lahore/Islamabad

Hi All,

I have some old dresses that i spent tonns on and didnt wear them enough, recently have been thinking of reinventing them ..
Looked on the internet for ideas and came across a few things I really liked .. I dont want to get expensive embroidery or tilla kaam on these clothes , I want them to be light and classy ..

Question is , is ready made applique work available easily in Pakistan? is it really expensive? What about laces? are they really expensive?
I have something like this in mind , doesnt have to be similar.. just to recreate this effect on the clothes is what my aim is .. Input will be very helpful ..

The gala in this dress is really good and has some stonework as well. An arab friend got just the gala design separately and made a few simple stitches to create a beautiful maxi .. I want to know if something like this is available on the market in Lahore/Islambad?


again the same thing, the gala design on this dress is it diamonte? Are variations like these , like only gala and bazoo work available in the market?


Only using this as an example, I want applique work for bazoo

really appreciate all responses regarding this ..

Ready-made galas and motifs are available in the market. I've seen them on the shops but the quality of the material used isn't that great (not even close to the pictures you posted). If you want something quick and cost effective, this could be it though.
