Re: Cheap DarZi !!!!
I get my clothes stitched from Timpiy. Her basic tailoring is Rs 2500 and it is by far the BEST tailoring in lahore. And this is coming from someone who's been a Karma regular since 2001 when they used to operate out of someone's home and is now a Kamiar Rokni regular since he parted ways with Karma.
I am not sure if she will only stitch clothes though. I typically ask her to make complete outfits for me from scratch and also give her my fabric to stitch( she does the pipings and finishing, dying etc). If anyone wants good quality stitching for a special occasion, try Timpiy.
My aunt goes to a place Chantilly. Their stitching is around 1000 which is pretty reasonable. They are also a design house (in a way) and will do stuff from scratch. I 've personally never been there, but my aunt wears really stunning outfits.
Sara Shahid from Sublime also stitches superb clothes( if the order is large) and is also Rs 2,500. I haven't seen people wear her clothes, but I've seen HER wear her own clothes :). dunno if that counts, but she has a really good reputation in the lahore auntie circle:)
Anyways hope that helps. And while some ppl might find these prices outrageous, these ARE the standard prices at a good place and by good place i mean a place where the tailoring is superb and the service is excellant. Whenever i get my stuff made from Timpyi, i try them in her fitting room. If something is a miss, the head tailor is called and shown the problem. I wait while the problem is fixed and take the suite home with me. I wouldn't recommend spending so much on a lawn suite but when it comes to formal wear, I would never do otherwise:S
