Guppies-
Please help me! I’m going to Khi in two weeks and need to know where to shop. I want nice clothes - I live in NJ and the “desi fashion” here has really stepped up its game. I don’t want to just buy the regular clothes from Tariq Rd - I really want nice, stylish clothes (both formal and semi-formal). Price is not really an issue, as I’m looking for designer-type outfits.
Where do I go??? 
Re: Calling all KHI fashionistas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you should check out zamzama. But bcoz it can be expensive you can get some nice clothes from clifton gulf shopping centre, there's loads of darzis there who can make some good stuff too. So unless you wanna totally spend chunks of cash unecessarily just because of some designer name, you can get 4 joras for the price of one and equally nice, if you only have some nice aunties/ladies in your family/friends that are local and will help with the shopping and selection of proper tailors. :)

You can try Barkha boutique in defense, run by Shahina Zubairi. My entire jahez was made there as was some of my bari. Nice people and good taste.

Shanayle, what are their price ranges for formal wear? A friend of mine who's getting married in March is traveling to KHI as well but her budget isn't more than 100 per suit max.

Re: Calling all KHI fashionistas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you want cool, modern clothes (eg sleavless, modern-cuts) you will need to make an appointment to see the couture collection of the designers, their outlets carry ready-to-wear which altho may have nice kaam, rarely are they funky coz they need to sell them to the general conservative pakistani public. when u get there just pick up a few fashion mags, see designs you like and ask for an appointment. clothes will cost you upwards from 20,000 rupees. i personally feel they are worth it.
Re: Calling all KHI fashionistas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^ Actually, I've seen a lot of boutiques with sleeveless outfits and attachable sleeves! There are enough people in Karachi that wear sleeveless, at least at formal events, that the boutiques keep them available.
Re: Calling all KHI fashionistas!!!
Hey ladies,
Has anyone been to Ritu Kumar’s new outlet in Clifton, Karachi? Just read about this in Dawn.
IN STYLE: Ritu Gives Local Style A Facelift -DAWN Images; September 28, 2008
I think it would be worth a visit , too.
Here is a whole list of stores in Karachi. Some of the just have the fabric and you have to get it stitched but some do carry ready to wear dresses:
