Bunto starts from 5 lakhs and can go up to 12-13. it really depends on how much work you want on your outfit.
http://www.paklinks.com/gsmedia/files/100820/samira-rahman.jpg… this outfit is very expensive because the dupatta is 6 yards and has a 15 yard farshi gharara.. I’ve been quoted 6 lakhs for this outfit with a 5 yard dupatta with a normal lehnga. I’ve ordered my dress a few months back and for my budget i’ve been told that my dress is going to be pretty heavy with a lehnga and 5 yard dupatta. a farshi gharara will definitely up the price.
you have to pay 50% advance at the time of order
3)I’m out of country so I transferred the 50% deposit through bank accounts.
I guess people call her bunto apa .. since i’m out of Pakistan I’ve made my order through email with her daughter so I havent really spoken to bunto herself, I will when I go to visit in February..
The rest I have no answer for since I have not met with bunto yet. I LOVE ALL HER OUTFITS but I would much rather her bunto for barat with gold work .. I feel like her outfits with gold work on it is just SO much more traditional looking then all silver. her daughter has told me that bunto always adds gold into her dresses because its her signature (as well as a mukesh dupatta)
you should email her daughter if you have any questions before hand .. she is really helpful
trust her! go in with an idea of what you love in terms of colour and style but be flexible if she suggests something different. she's a master of her art, she won't do you wrong! :)
