Hey ladies (and gents?),
These outfits are by the ‘designer’, who does all my tailoring and my casual and formal outfits. You will see some of my own outfits in this thread as it progresses.
I deal with him in person when I go to Lahore, otherwise via the phone and internet. Either way, he always successfully produces my outfits, as I want them. If you’re in Lahore, he’s quite willing to come to your residence to discuss your needs.
I am not a vendor for him and no orders are placed through me. All business is done directly with him. I’m just doing some advertising on his behalf as I think he’s a great person deal with and he’s really passionate about what he does.
If you’re interested in any outfits, please feel free to message me for his contact details. You will need to be able to speak Urdu (mine is really bad and I manage so it should be okay!). I also don’t mind helping anyone out in regards to what to send him in terms of measurements. The more detailed they are the better your fitting will be.
He has an email, but it really would be best to call and discuss your requirements e.g. how soon you want the outfit, changes and a new quote if required etc and then back this up with an email. He’ll tell you the best way to proceed in terms of sending him the measurements, payment and what shipping you want.
I’m working on getting him to send better photos. He might not be able to just yet though, given technological restraints. However, if you want reassurance about the close-up quality of the kaam, please check out my pics in the above mentioned thread.
Please note that I asked him to give fixed prices that are reasonable and I think he has achieved that given the quality of his work. If you read my other thread, you will know that I was not as impressed anywhere else in Liberty with the quality of kaam and finishing. The materials he selects are always high quality (although you can ask for cheaper stuff if you want). The kaam is some of the most intricate and neatest I’ve seen, using the best quality materials (swarovski crystals, zero size dabka, zero size cut dana, real crystals, real semi precious gems). The finishing of always to a high standard. I don’t think these are your average wear once/twice formals, rather pieces for a family wedding or for your wedding trousseau.
Outfits can be modified however you want to suit your taste and budget. Or you can send him your own designs or outfits to copy, as I do. If selecting this second option, please be specific in regards to your price range and what sort of kaam you are looking for. His first preference is always to go for the most intricate and highest quality, whereas you might want a full look but not be so fussed about using expensive crystals, the tiniest dabka etc etc.
