Thanks Sonia

My aim is to visit Southall and Green Street/Ilford Lane first to get an idea of colours etc. I have heard that Gul is a total rip off etc becuase I’m on a tight budget of £250 as it’s only going to be a small ceremony and I don’t want to fork out thousands of pounds on a simple engagement outfit.

I really like the whole Manish Malhotra flowly anarkali style with his velvet borders but I’m not sure if any of the shops in the UK can do this? Some people are saying go to Mongas and get something designed but I’m a bit apprehensive…

I will definitely keep you guys all posted on how my shopping trip turns out Inshallah.

Monga’s, £250…? i don’t even think they do non bridal ( i.e not a lengha or dress) i detest their quality, and the attitude in the shop! i went there and i was shocked at how its a factory really!! i almost fell down the stairs firstly its not nice!

there is a shop OMEGA i think is the name, i bought a ready made suit for my SIL Nikkah, it was very very nice and i got it for £130 , and it was really done up. they put on the sleeves for me as it was sleevless but i wanted long sleeves which they had to purchase material for to do , he didn’t charge me extra as i said to him it was for a nikkah!

He was a reasonable guy, and he was reducing prices to people’s budgets accordingly!
