thank u so much rsheikh that was good know. but i dont think ill be going to pk to choose my dress myself unfortunatly i kno i kno how can i do this but my mum is insisting that i stay here and a relative get it for me, wel funnly enuff it will b my MIL lol as shes my cuzin aswell! and shes the only person i kno with the best taste and she knows what suits me. but im still trying to convince mum about letting me go to actually choose it :)
At 1st I didnt think I was going to go and choose my dress b/c work and school schedule wouldnt allow me to but i forced myself to make time to go and in the end Allhumdillah all worked out well.
Here's a thought tell your cousin to take a digitial camera with her and take pix of the lengas that she likes the most and send pix of them to u and you choose which one you like out of those and then she can go back to that store and place an order or if you want to change anything have it changed.
That's what I did when I went b/c we did shopping for my soon to be bhabi too. I chose her nikkah lenga and valima suit (since the nikkah will not be on the same day as the baarat) so i took pictures of the dresses that I liked for her and let her make the final decision but we didnt show it to her in person yet keeping it hidden from her until its time to give it to her to wear!!
