Relative wants to send me gift through someone leaving Pakistan in a couple days. No time to get anything made. I wanted to order a Bareeze Chinyere outfit, but they have limited pics showing in stock stuff where relative can walk in and pick up. All other outfits will take 2 weeks plus.

Is $225 a fair price for this outfit?

I like the outfit but am not 100% crazy about it. I kind of feel that for $225, you can find more kaam or I’d rather get 2 nice casual outfits for this price but just not sure where to look online for readymade clothes. I want to see before selecting.

Can anyone please advise? thanks.

i heard, and this is only heard through my friend in pakistan that their quality isn't that great it's like mass production clothing but i have NO IDEA! to be sure you should ask around for reviews :)

THanks Pakfairy - Naqsa on this board was raving about it. Can you recommend a few stores I can tell relative to go and just grab a couple readymade spring outfits that have nice longer sleeve outfits? Haven't been to Pakistan in years and remember Fortress Stadium and Liberty had shops like that. Just need names to direct them to.

i've seen this outfit in person here at chinyere outlet in Lahore and i'd say none of the outfits they have are worth 50% of the prices they have put on them.I was surprised how ugly looking outfits look great in pics.you can ask your relatives to get you something from BHSY-which has ready to wear range done by HSY for bareeze'.they have sales on those now a days.but you wont be able to select the designs or colours since they are not online.

Thanks Prototype - have you seen if the bhsy have longer sleeves? I prefer no sleeveless.

missoni in fortress stadium has some nice readymade outfits.or you can ask your relatives to get a nice suit from saleem fabrics and get it stitched for you.they have really nice ones with dupatta fully stitched and ready.you just have to get the shirt and shalwar/pants stitched.

they have all off-sleeves,half sleeves and full sleeves in every design-that is in routine days.I am sure during sales,not all the full sleeves ones would have been sold out. they have 20-40% off on different outfits of BHSY range.

Thanks. I do recall going to saleem fabrics years ago. I think the readymade option like Missoni is best. thanks!!!

Thanks for the info!! What neighborhood is the outlet in? Does 21 Waris Road sound like the right area? Relative lives outside Lahore so just want to tell him to go to x neighborhood and x street. thanks.

they can go to their outlet on main boulevard gulberg-nayaab one.it is next to khanani kalia office-a little short to PACE. or main faisal town road..or y block defence. bhsy is not on display in every bareeze outlet..and so is chinyere.

nee-punhal in fortress is another option too.

the black beads chain you are wearing.i have seen indians wearing it(hindus to be precise)as a mark of being married..though a friend of mine,a muslim, wears it too..since her mom is an indian and they have a tradition of wearing it(married girls only). :)

lara..when is your relative travelling?I had ordered an outfit at bareeze for someone at GS.they just called me to tell they cant make one since the fabric is out of stock.they told that I can choose from their spring/summer range which is out now and will be displayed at all their outlets within a week.

Sheesh, missed a pic again :( Prototype, that mangalsutr is called 'kalipoth' in Hyderabadis/Muslims. Yup, only married women wear that.
