It's a case of whatever floats your boat. I believe some people like to dress up and some don't, but when it gets tacky that's when its competitive. Believe me I have white family members and their weddings, Christmas, thanksgiving, graduations etc. can be super competitive and tacky too! As to the other issue of purchasing a bling wardrobe for your newbie wife or for daughters looking for proposal's theirs nothing wrong with that, if its done out of love and not done out of some cunning plan to upstage or compete for people, who cares!

I don't get the need to dress up in glam clothes for simple events. Sets the stakes higher for a real prominent event. What do you wear then?

What effect is this having on Pakistani society?

What sorts of pressures are there on guys to buy bling wardrobes for their newbie wives? Or on parents to deck their daughters to fetch good rishtas?

Or on the self esteem of those who can't afford these dresses? Or can't fly to Pakistan every year to get a new wardrobe made ?

I think the people who get (so easily effected) by such insignificant matters are the ones who need help.

If one's self esteem is based on new clothes etc then that person never had a strong self esteem to begin with. So he/she should work on that first.

So the girls who need a new dress for every event have low self esteems? Now now, Le, looks like you're offending the girls here who like to dress up?

So, do all the girls here who like to dress up buy a new dress for every event? I'm sure that there are exceptions, who are okay with wearing a jora they already have and have worn before.

I won't say clothes are insignificant because they're not; they send an impression and they are connected to your self-esteem in the sense that dressing up can make you feel confident. Those who can afford them will do so. However, Le Pak is right in that if one bases a person's entire self worth based solely on clothes to the ....that's not healthy.

I shall rephrase it: girls who get a low self esteem when they see others wearing new clothes. On one hand they critisize it, but at the same time they secretly wish they could do the same.
