Shopping in Toronto
Hi guys,
I will be getting married in October inshallah and I will be doing most of my shopping in Toronto. This forum was very helpful when it was time for my sister’s wedding last year. She opted to do her shopping from Pakistan but I thought the whole going and coming was quite hectic and time consuming so I am gonna try to get everything from Toronto.
Since I am not going to Pakistan, I have no idea what’s in style right now. I need help from anyone who knows what’s in style/fashion in terms of the length and style of kameez, length of shalwar and pants and the style of pants (narrow or flared). What colors are in for the rukhsati day: red, maroon or pink? For my walima, I have no choice but to wear white since that’s what my MIL picked.
I am trying to figure out how many formal clothes I should get and I’m gonna visit Dulhan in Richmond hill soon because I heard they also take custom orders and get it done in about a month. Does anyone have experience with them?
I’ve read previous posts about shopping in Toronto and they are very helpful. I would love to custom order clothes instead of picking them off the rack. I’ve heard about abida qureshi from this forum… does she do custom order? How do the custom orders turn out and how long does she take to complete them…since she’s home based I don’t know if she would be able to complete the order in time. Please share your experience since I am a bit worried about going to someone home based.
Has anyone else custom ordered their clothes from any shops? My friend’s mom ordered a lehnga from Dulhan and it turned out amazing although the fitting of the shirt was a bit odd but the lehnga came out exactly as ordered and was great…so that’s why I was planning to check them out.
I would appreciate everyone’s input for my planning and shopping. Thanks so much!
