SGC - that’s assuming what you like is already on some designer website or mag or somewhere accessible that you can copy the pics and take with you, right? That makes sense (although it’s hard to get a sense of the kaam from pics alone); but otherwise if you go to some designer and like something that is quite new or not available elsewhere because i guess they only advertise a sample from the variety that would be available at the store then how can you still get it ‘copied’ for a cheaper price? I’ve heard that at most high end places they won’t even let you take pictures wearing the bridal lenghas because that’s exactly what they are worried about… so I guess what i’m asking is what are the appropriate ways to ‘copy’?
keep looking online, in magazines, at other people's clothes etc. when i was ordering my bridal outfit, i found a fabric sample in an upholstery store, no less! but it was so gorgeous, i bought a swatch and i took it to the lady and explained what i wanted. i also bought coordinating color samples so that they'd know exactly what i wanted in what shade etc and therefore nothing was left to chance. thats one way of doing it.
chances are, you'll find something you want somewhere, and if not, then you could go to the stores and see all the samples they have there. if you take your mum or someone else with you, then i'll bet they would know more about the kind of kaam done on any one particular piece you like, and they'd be able to explain in to the darzi and the kaam wala. i mean, thats how i'd do it if i was in karachi since i have no idea whick kind of kaam is called what :p
LOL AT LUSI'S COMMENTS
THE GUY LOOKS LIKE A MERMAID AND BAYCHARA WHITE GUY ... HAHA
YAAR MEINAY TOH AISAY HE JAWAB DIYA KUCH LIKHNAY KAY LIYEH I DIDNT NOTICE ANYTHING IN THE WHITE GUY EXCEPT HIS HAAR AND OH YA NEVER THOUGHT WHY THE GIRL IS STANDING IF ITS HER VALIMA OR WHATEVER
P.S SORRY FOR CAPS LOCK I AM TO LAZY FOR NOW TO TYPE THE WHOLE THING AGAIN
I think she is the other bride - if you're talking about the one standing in bluish orange clothes - because there is this white guy who has haar as well maybe he is the other dulah
LOL dude that's the sarbala! not the groom. the groom is on the side of the pic...he's the one that's cut from the pic.
it's like the mini-dulha. the actual function of one is obsolete now...so now it's just some kid, usually a nephew or a brother or cousin, young one ofcourse, who gets to sit on the side of the groom and wear a suit and haar and get part of the salamian.
did any one see the spring 2007 collection of HSY and niki and nyna.
last night i saw live show on TV. the dresses were really very beautiful. and the colours are also attractive. mostly it was blue, pink and red.
