Re: Cheap clothes
Nickie and Nina will give you a plain cotton suit for Rs. 5,000. Defintiely not any party wear for that price.
Maria B starts her orders at Rs. 10,000 for party wear. But if you are on a budget, you best bet is to go to the zari houses and karighars in various bazaars and get custom made outfits from them. You can buy your own material and you can select the kind of work you want on it. That way, you can easily get a heavy outfit for Rs. 5,000. But these people don't have websites.
Why not look at your local Indian or Pakistani shops? This past summer, I bought two lehngas from an Indian store, for $125 each. People were really impressed and the work was very lovely (antique style). At least you know what you'll be getting.
