Re: BRIDAL PICS.
Yeah doesn't have that bunto look to it, looks more like Dr Haroon to me as well
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
Yes,I can make it
First i will send u sample of this kaam.
Wow really?? - will be interested to see your sample!
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
^Can you send me a sample too please??
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
It’s not complicated at all. Just densely packed so isn’t going to be cheap but its not that intricate.
Not sure if it’s bunto but all the close ups of her work have left me unimpressed.

wow really?? - it all looks so neatly done and fairly intricate.
can you post a pic of what you think is really good? Its good to have a high standard reference point!
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
I agree with Stoppit. I have never really been that impressed with Bunto close ups. Umar sayeed, however is a whole another level. His work is amazing.
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
are you sure it’s a bunto? looks more like Dr. Haroon to me!
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
Yeah I also think its dr haroon
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
No doubt Umar Sayeed's work is unparalleled and amazing, but when it comes to an authentic traditionally worked bridal, the man can't tell his a*** from his elbow. There are only a handful of designers who have karighaars that have experience with old couturier techniques, namely Bunto, Faiza Samee and Dr. Haroon. Umar on the other hand has a very contemporary touch, and that is his forte, but he's really good at it.
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
ziggy, no doubt designers like bunto have the traditional look down. but please let me how outfits laden with dabka are “authentic traditionally worked?”.
All the close ups I have seen of her outfits are just dense with dabka, there are no complicated stitches.
I’m pretty sure this is a bunto bridal and an example of what I mean:
Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying her outfits are not beautiful..and the overall look, for most outfits I do not think can be replicated.
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
The funny thing is that I can't name the "kaam", but I can difrenciate between the bad, average, good and SUPERB kaam, but my eyes are telling me the kaam above is not anything special at all its pretty average...it doesnt look nafees atall. My heart is breaking if this is a Buto and if this is the type of kaam on all her outfits....I used to think her work was very intricate and traditional...
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
stoppit, I see what you’re saying. I wouldn’t be too impressed if that were by Bunto. I’m just including a closeup pic of a Bunto Bridal, although I don’t want to share the rest. Yes it has Dabka, but this Bridal also had naqshi, badla, aari threadwork, kamdani, sequinze, Swarovski crystals (some of this work you can’t see in this pic):
I’ve seen Bunto’s attempts at designing contemporary looking outfits, and for the most part she hasn’t been successfull, unless someone can tell me otherwise? I guess both Bunto and Umar excel in their own fields, but fail when they try dabbling in the other’s expertise.
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
I will double check but I'm 99% sure it is because that's why I saved it. I have some more too and they are all dense dabka work similar to the one I posted.
Anyway, that is very pretty but the point I was making, and has not changed after seeing this pic is that there is not a high degree of intricacy in the way the kaam is done. Any decent karigaar can copy this.
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that because the overall look is what she desires. But I do not think they are examples of intricate kaam, that's all!
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
^I’ve seen something similar to what Stoppit has posted, but then I’ve also seen something nicer in terms of kaam, and both were buy Bunto.
This one is really similar to the one above in terms of work, and its defo a bunto:
But then these ones are Buntos as well (well im quite sure they are anyway!), and the work is a bit different:
I guess it depends on the overall style of the outfit and what look the bride is going for? In terms of it being intricate, I agree that it can be copied because it doesnt look THAT unique, but it still would require a fair bit of money to get it up to this standard, I think.

Re: BRIDAL PICS.
I guess it all depends on what you're ready to spend on. If you're working with a tight budget, then all you can probably expect is dabka work. I've known her to work with very low budgets, and yes, you get what you pay for. Umar on the other hand doesn't like compromising on his work. He works with a certain price point in mind, simply because his work can get very intricate. I guess all I was trying to say was that she's not just limited to working with dabka. I've also yet to see a like for like match for her work by any karighar and I've seen some pretty poor replicas of her work. Although If anyone does know of one, then please let me know? :)
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
The replica's are poor because they can't capture the overall style and elegance. Bunto also generally uses very nice fabrics that can't be 'copied' and they end up being approximations using whatever is available in the bazaar. But the kaam itself, as I keep saying, it not beyond being copied if the kaarigar has a close-up of the original, imo, having worked quite a bit with the guy who makes my clothes on the topic of replicating kaam.
Karma is an extreme example - their work was so simplistic a few years back that it was being copied left right and centre.
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
My aunt used to say "lut paree wee hai karma ke kaam ki, rulla wah hai"lol. ^^
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
about 8-9 years ago my friend ordered a gorgeous tea pink sleeveless fishtail lengha from Bunto. It was incredibly elegant, refined, and modern.
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
^ Wow tea pink sounds gorgeous, although I never knew she designed fishtail lenghas?
