Re: Bridal Dress - Best Places in Toronto, Missauga, Brampton, etc
I would NOT recommend **Jamayz **to anyone. The lady was very arrogant and resisted showing her bridal wear since I did not call before hand to make an appointment. She did not even want to deal with me and told me that she's preparing for her client that's going to show up any minute. I was not going to stay there for another minute after getting such a rude response yet on my way out she pulled out two bridal lehngas. The two bridal wear that she DID show as a huge favor were extremely pricey for the amount of work done on them. Later, I found out that her daughter, Sherbano, is apparently a big shot for doing bridal shows in GTA. Neither the mother nor daugther have a degree/certification in designing. I had driven a long distance to check the store out and it was totally not worth it.
Oriental-Costumes have great material and offer a wide range of bridal wear and formal wear (kids/women/men!). They are pricey but the material is worth it. I was very happy with their customer service. The lady there was mashAllah super nice and willing to work with what I had in mind for my gharara. So ladies do pay them a visit, they have great stuff!
Mehnaz does custom bridal and is available by appointment only. The samples she had at the location were quite pricey for the material and work done on them. I did not find her collection to be that great.
Abida Qureshi has a good collection. Her prices are very reasonable, and she's open to negotiation as well. Her attitude is mashAllah very nice. I bought my ghrara from her for a reasonable price.
Of all the places I visited in the past three days, I will recommend Oriental-Costumes (Missisauga) and Abida Qureshi (Markham) * ..she has more clothes coming in at end of April ..do pay a visit ;) *
